ABSTRACT
Platelet factor 4 (CXCL4), a member of the CXC chemokine subfamily released in high amounts by activated platelets, has been identified as a monocyte survival factor that induces monocyte differentiation into macrophages. Although CXCL4 has been shown to have biological effects unique to chemokines, nothing is known about the role of CXCL4-derived human macrophages or CXCL4 in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. In this study, CXCL4-derived macrophages are compared with macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF)-derived macrophages for their ability to support HIV-1 replication. We show that CXCL4-derived macrophages can be infected with macrophage-tropic HIV-1 that uses either CC-chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) or CXC-chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) as a co-receptor for viral entry. We also find that M-CSF and the chemokines, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1; CCL2) and macrophage-inflammatory-protein-1-alpha (MIP-1alpha; CCL3) are produced upon R5- and X4-tropic HIV-1 replication in both M-CSF- and CXCL4-derived human macrophages. In addition, CXCL4 added to M-CSF-derived macrophages after virus adsorption and maintained throughout the infection enhances HIV-1 replication. We thus propose a novel role for CXCL4 in HIV disease.
