ABSTRACT
Chemokines were originally characterized by their ability to direct migration and induce activation of selected leukocyte populations. The beta-chemokines MIP-1 alpha, MIP-beta, and RANTES have been implicated in the suppression of viral replication by CD8+ T cells from HIV-infected individuals. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of beta-chemokines on HIV replication in cocultures of dendritic cells (DCs) and CD4+ T cells, and an in vitro model of the lymphoid microenvironment. In the acute infection system, where DCs from uninfected individuals are pulsed with HIV and cocultured with autologous CD4+ T cells, no inhibition of replication of monocytotropic or T cell tropic viral isolates by MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, and RANTES, alone or in combination, was observed. In contrast, in an endogenous infection system, where the DCs and CD4+ T cells were obtained from HIV-infected subjects, addition of recombinant beta-chemokines suppressed HIV replication. However, neutralizing antibodies to beta-chemokines did not affect the suppressive activity of CD8+ T cells from HIV-infected donors in either system, suggesting that CD8+ T cell-mediated suppression is not due exclusively to beta-chemokines. Furthermore, no significant differences in secretion of MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, and RANTES by purified CD8+ T cells were noted in uninfected versus HIV-infected donors, regardless of the stage of disease. These results indicate that HIV suppression by CD8+ T cells derived from HIV-infected donors is a multifactorial phenomenon and not limited to the action of MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, and RANTES.
