Extracellular Vesicles Carry HIV Env and Facilitate Hiv Infection of Human Lymphoid Tissue

Abstract: Cells productively infected with HIV-1 release virions along with extracellular vesicles (EVs) whose biogenesis, size, and physical properties resemble those of retroviruses. Here, we found that a significant number of EVs (exosomes) released by HIV-1 infected cells carry gp120 (Env), a viral protein that mediates virus attachment and fusion to target cells, and also facilitates HIV infection in various indirect ways. Depletion of viral preparations of EVs, in particular of those that carry gp120, decreases vi… Show more

“…Extracellular vesicles (EVs), 2 including those known as exosomes, are released by many types of cells, and have been ascribed numerous functions in cellular communication, including the propagation of niche sites for tumor metastases (1), facilitating viral infection (2), and in angiogenesis (3), among many others. EVs are thought to originate from multivesicular bodies and are secreted following fusion of multivesicular bodies (MVB) with the plasma membrane (4,5).…”

“…Interestingly, reducing the expression of VSP4 and ALIX affects the release of eHAVs, but not other ESCRT components (Feng et al, 2013). Moreover, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) exploit extracellular vesicles to enhance their spread into uninfected cells (Arakelyan et al, 2017). Conceptually, an emerging paradigm is that viruses may hijack the extracellular vesicle machinery to invade mammalian cells.…”
