Human immunodeficiency virus neurotropism: an analysis of viral replication and cytopathicity for divergent strains in monocytes and microglia.
Productive replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in brain macrophages and microglia is a critical component of viral neuropathogenesis. However, how virus-macrophage interactions lead to neurological disease remains incompletely understood. Possibly, a differential ability of virus to replicate in brain tissue macrophages versus macrophages in other tissues underlies HIV-1 neurovirulence. To these ends, we established systems for the isolation and propagation of pure populations of human microglia and then analyzed the viral life cycles of divergent HIV-1 strains in these cells and in cultured monocytes by using identical viral inocula and indicator systems. The HIV-1 isolates included those isolated from blood, lung tissue, cerebrospinal fluids (CSF), and brain tissues of infected subjects: HIV-1(ADA) and HIV-1(89.6) (from peripheral blood mononuclear cells), HIV-1(DJV) and HIV-1(JR-FL) (from brain tissue), HIV-1(SF162) (from CSF), and HIV-1(BAL) (from lung tissue). The synthesis of viral nucleic acids and viral mRNA, cytopathicity, and release of progeny virions were assessed. A significant heterogeneity among macrophage-tropic isolates for infection of monocytes and microglia was demonstrated. Importantly, a complete analysis of the viral life cycle revealed no preferential differences in the abilities of the HIV-1 strains tested to replicate in microglia and/or monocytes. Macrophage tropism likely dictates the abilities of HIV-1 to invade, replicate, and incite disease within its microglial target cells.A Ghorpade, A Nukuna, M Che, S Haggerty, Y Persidsky, E Carter, L Carhart, L Shafer, H E Gendelman

Proliferation-dependent replication in primary macrophages of macrophage-tropic HIV type 1 variants.
We previously demonstrated that completion of reverse transcription in macrophages inoculated with the HIV-1 Ba-L variant was established only in the subpopulation of cells with proliferative capacity. In our present study we further extended this observation with three additional HIV-1 isolates, being the macrophage-tropic ADA strain and two primary macrophage-tropic HIV-1 variants isolated from cerebrospinal fluid and from bronchoalveolar lavage from AIDS patients. On inoculation, irrespective of the virus variant used, elongated reverse transcription products could be demonstrated only in macrophages that had proliferated during inoculation as evidenced by the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a thymidine analog. The presence of newly synthesized early products of reverse transcription also in the BrdU-negative fraction indicated that viral entry is not disturbed in nondividing cells. Our data indicate that the process of reverse transcription is dependent on cellular conditions that coincide with cell proliferation, and therefore that HIV-1 replication is restricted to cells with proliferative potential.N A Kootstra, H Schuitemaker

Interaction between Mycobacterium avium and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in bronchoalveolar macrophages of normal and HIV-1-infected subjects.
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) macrophages from patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic HIV-1 infections were obtained, and their ability to restrict in vitro the growth of an AIDS-associated strain of Mycobacterium avium was compared with cells obtained from normal volunteers. BAL macrophage populations from HIV-1-infected subjects (symptomatic or asymptomatic) spontaneously released significant amounts of IL-6, IL-1 beta, and TNF-alpha, whereas BAL macrophages from normal volunteers released very low amounts of these cytokines. Phagocytosis of M. avium was shown to be similar in both HIV-1-infected subjects and in control subjects. BAL macrophages from HIV-1-infected subjects released significantly greater quantities of IL-6, IL-1 beta, and TNF-alpha than did cells from normal volunteers upon M. avium ingestion. Growth of M. avium was similar in BAL macrophages from all three subject groups. Finally, BAL macrophages from normal volunteers were obtained, and these cells were doubly infected with a macrophage tropic isolate of HIV-1 at a low multiplicity of infection and with an AIDS-associated strain of M. avium. There were no significant differences in cytokine release by cells co-infected with M. avium and HIV-1 and cells infected with M. avium alone. The growth of mycobacteria and the viral replication in doubly infected cells were compared with those in cells infected with only one of the pathogens, and it was shown that HIV-1 infection had no significant effect on M. avium growth.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)M Denis, E Ghadirian
