Coreceptor Competition for Association with CD4 May Change the Susceptibility of Human Cells to Infection with T-Tropic and Macrophagetropic Isolates of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

Abstract: The chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 were found to function in vivo as the principal coreceptors for M-tropic and T-tropic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains, respectively. Since many primary cells express multiple chemokine receptors, it was important to determine if the efficiency of virus-cell fusion is influenced not only by the presence of the appropriate coreceptor (CXCR4 or CCR5) but also by the levels of other coreceptors expressed by the same target cells. We found that in cells with low to … Show more

“…For instance one can hypothesize that CD4 is preferentially confined with CCR5 into microdomains different from those containingCXCR4 [22]. This hypothesis is in agreement with the observation that reducing the expression of CD4 decreases the susceptibility of human cells to infection by X4 viruses [46]. Furthermore, it has been shown that lowering CCR5 expression level with molecules modulating cholesterol content (lovastatin, mevastatin and simvastatin), favors the infection by X4 viruses [47].…”

“…40 Other studies show that inefficient interactions of CXCR4 with CD4 and gp120 on macrophages and/or interference of CXCR4/CD4 association when CXCR4 and CCR5 are co-expressed on macrophages reduce fusion and subsequent infection of these cells with X4-using HIV-1. [40][41][42] These interactions may be influenced by unique membrane components of MDM differentiated in M-CSF and/or CXCL4 and could account for the differences in replication of X4 HIV-1. Although we observed human donor variability often reported by others, the pattern of lower replication of CXCR4-using viruses was consistent.…”

“…Changes in expression and conformation of CXCR4 could affect the susceptibility of a given cell to infection by T-tropic HIV-1 strains, which only use CXCR4 as a coreceptor. Such changes may also indirectly influence infection by M-tropic HIV-1, which uses CCR5 as a coreceptor, as the two coreceptors compete with each other for interaction with CD4 [37]. In addition, changes in conformation may alter the effectiveness of vaccines and small drugs that target the coreceptors.…”
