Abstract
BACKGROUND It is now known that clinically derived viruses are most commonly R5 tropic with very low infectivity in macrophages. As these viruses utilize CD4 inefficiently, defective entry has been assumed to be the dominant restriction. The implication is that macrophages are not an important reservoir for the majority of circulating viruses. RESULTS Macrophage infection by clinical transmitted/founder isolates was 10-100 and 30-450 fold less efficient as compared to YU-2 and BaL respectively. Vpx complementation augmented macrophage infection by non-macrophage tropic viruses to the level of infectivity observed for YU-2 in the absence of Vpx. Augmentation was evident even when Vpx was provided 24 hours post-infection. The entry defect was measured as 2.5-5 fold, with a further 3.5-10 fold block at strong stop and subsequent stages of reverse transcription as compared to YU-2. The overall block to infection was critically dependent on the mechanism of entry as demonstrated by rescue of infection after pseudotyping with VSV-G envelope. Reverse transcription in macrophages could not be enhanced using a panel of cytokines or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). CONCLUSIONS Although the predominant block to clinical transmitted/founder viruses is post-entry, infectivity is determined by Env-CD4 interactions and can be rescued with VSV-G pseudotyping. This suggests a functional link between the optimal entry pathway taken by macrophage tropic viruses and downstream events required for reverse transcription. Consistent with a predominantly post-entry block, replication of R5 using viruses can be greatly enhanced by Vpx. We conclude therefore that entry is not the limiting step and that macrophages represent clinically relevant reservoirs for 'non-macrophage tropic' viruses.

Abstract
During human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection, T lymphocytes and macrophages play dual roles. They are the primary targets for virus replication, but they are also primary effector cells in acquired and innate immunity, respectively. The authors are now investigating how these roles come together in the response of human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) to certain HIV-1. The authors and others have previously shown that MDM permit entry of some X4 virus strains, but control viral replication intracellularly. In the present study, viral DNA synthesis, entry into the nucleus, and transcription to RNA were all observed in X4 virus-infected MDM. MDM arrested HIV-1 replication prior to expression of mature capsid antigen p24 and production of cell-free infectious viral particles. Cell-associated transmissible HIV-1 was detected by cocultivation of infected MDM and susceptible T lymphocytes. A second protective response of MDM to specific R5 as well as X4 HIV-1 was identified in rapid and extensive secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, and RANTES. These findings support the view that MDM act aggressively to control HIV-1 replication: X4 strains by severely limiting the progeny virus production and R5 strains by producing beta-chemokines competent to block virus entry into target cells. Optimizing these innate immune responses offers another means to control HIV-1 infection in the human host.

Abstract
Immunostimulatory members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily (TNFSF) of ligands are known to be important regulators of the immune system. These trimeric molecules interact with members of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) to stimulate immune cells. Of the TNFSF molecules, CD40 ligand (CD40L, also called CD154 or TNFSF5) is the most crucial molecule for activating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and thereby initiating the immune response. Evidence has accrued indicating that HIV infection either selectively depletes those CD4(+) T cells that express CD40L in response to antigen or down-regulates CD40L expression by these cells. Because CD40L expression is necessary for the immune defense against HIV and opportunistic infections, an insufficiency of CD40L could contribute to the progression of AIDS. CD40L contributes to the antiviral mechanisms of the host by inducing anti-HIV beta-chemokines and activating CD8(+) T cells. However, CD40L stimulation can lead to enhanced HIV replication under certain experimental conditions, due to its immune activating properties and the need for cellular activation for high-level HIV production. On balance, it is believed that reversing the relative CD40L deficiency seen in HIV infection will be important for immune restoration in AIDS. In addition, adding CD40L to a therapeutic or preventative vaccine could lead to strengthened antiviral immunity. Because of the complexities in delivering this molecule, a number of forms of CD40L have been developed, and one form of soluble CD40L has been tested in humans. New strategies are being developed to translate the profoundly immunostimulatory effects of CD40L found in animal models to humans with HIV infection.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) interacts with its target cells through CD4 and a coreceptor, generally CCR5 or CXCR4. Macrophages display CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4 that are competent for binding and entry of virus. Virus binding also induces several responses by lymphocytes and macrophages that can be dissociated from productive infection. We investigated the responses of macrophages to exposure to a series of HIV-1 species, R5 species that productively infect and X4 species that do not infect macrophages. We chose to monitor production of several physiologically relevant factors within hours of treatment to resolve virally induced effects that may be unlinked to HIV-1 production. Our novel findings indicate that independently of their coreceptor phenotype and independently of virus replication, exposure to certain R5 and X4 HIV-1 species induced secretion of high levels of macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), MIP-1beta, RANTES, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. However two of the six R5 species tested, despite efficient infection, were unable to induce rapid chemokine production. The acute effects of virus on macrophages could be mimicked by exposure to purified R5 or the X4 HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120. Depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) or inhibition of protein synthesis blocked the chemokine induction, implicating Ca(2+)-mediated signal transduction and new protein synthesis in the response. The group of viruses able to induce this chemokine response was not consistent with coreceptor usage. We conclude that human macrophages respond rapidly to R5 and X4 envelope binding by production of high levels of physiologically active proteins that are implicated in HIV-1 pathogenesis.

Abstract
The lung is prominently afflicted during the course of HIV-1 disease by both infectious and noninfectious complications. Direct or indirect effects of HIV-1 are likely central to the pathogenesis of these complications. Thus, any changes in viral load locally would negatively impact on the lung. This review focuses on the endogenous influences (immune effector cells, surfactant) and the exogenous factors (including infections such as tuberculosis and noninfectious exposures like cigarette smoke) that may contribute to activation or inactivation of HIV-1 in the lung.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) laboratory strains adapted to T-cell lines, as well as most syncytium-inducing primary isolates, replicate poorly in macrophages, which, beside CD4(+) T lymphocytes, are major targets of HIV-1. In the present work, we used a semiquantitative PCR-based technique to study viral entry into cells, kinetics of reverse transcription, and translocation of the viral DNA into the nucleus of macrophages infected with different HIV-1 strains. Our results demonstrate that T-lymphotropic strains efficiently enter macrophages. Entry was inhibited by a monoclonal antibody against CD4 and by stromal cell-derived factor 1alpha, a natural ligand of CXCR4, suggesting that both CD4 and CXCR4 act as receptors on macrophages for HIV-1 T-lymphotropic strains. Analysis of the kinetics of reverse transcription and nuclear import revealed that the most pronounced differences between T-lymphotropic and macrophagetropic strains occurred at the level of nuclear translocation of viral DNA, although a delay in reverse transcription was also observed. These results suggest that postentry steps are critical for restricted replication of T-lymphotropic HIV-1 strains in macrophages.

Abstract
The behavior of two genetically different molecular clones of visna virus KV1772-kv72/67 and LV1-1KS1 was compared in vivo and in vitro. On intracerebral inoculation, clone KV1772-kv72/67 induced a similar response in five sheep as has already been reported with neurovirulent derivates of visna virus. Virus was frequently isolated from blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and lymphoid organs and induced characteristic central nervous system (CNS) lesions. A strong humoral immune response was detected by ELISA, immunoblotting, and neutralization. Six sheep infected with clone LV1-1KS1 showed a completely different picture. No virus could be isolated from blood or CSF during 6 months of infection. At sacrifice all organs were virus-negative except the CNS of one sheep. None of the six sheep developed significant neutralizing antibodies and only low titer antibodies were detected by ELISA and immunoblotting. Minimal CNS lesions were present in one sheep. The molecular clones were also tested in sheep choroid plexus cells (SCP) and macrophages. In macrophages LV1-1KS1 replicated to a significantly lower titer but induced much more cell fusion than KV1772-kv72/67. The clones replicated equally well in SCP cells. Thus, these molecular clones of visna virus, which differ only by 1% in nucleotide sequence, showed a profound difference in replication and pathogenicity both in vitro and in vivo. These results can be used to map viral genetic determinants important for host-lentivirus interactions.

Abstract
This article covers a selected group of topics dealing with the contribution of lung immunocompetent cells in the host defense mechanisms against HIV. These include recent findings suggesting that bidirectional signals between alveolar macrophages and pulmonary cytotoxic T lymphocytes define regulatory networks, which contribute to the accumulation of HIV-specific effector cells in the lung microenvironment. The authors also emphasize the cell pattern of HIV infection in the lung, highlighting the role of the retrovirus in weakening pulmonary host defenses and its spreading into the lower respiratory tract.

Abstract
Work in this laboratory previously demonstrated that the tropism of different human immunodeficiency type 1 isolates for infection of human CD4+ continuous cell lines (e.g., T-cell lines and HeLa-CD4 transformants) versus primary macrophages is associated with parallel intrinsic fusogenic specificities of the corresponding envelope glycoproteins (Envs). For T-cell line-tropic isolates, it is well established that the target cell must also contain a human-specific fusion cofactor(s) whose identity is unknown. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the Env fusion specificities underlying T-cell line versus macrophage tropism are determined by distinct cell type-specific fusion cofactors. We applied a recombinant vaccinia virus-based reporter gene assay for Env-CD4-mediated cell fusion; the LAV and Ba-L Envs served as prototypes for T-cell line-tropic and macrophage-tropic isolates, respectively. We examined CD4+ promyeloctic and monocytic cell lines that are infectible by T-cell line-tropic isolates and become susceptible to macrophage-tropic strains only after treatment with differentiating agents. We observed parallel changes in fusion specificity: untreated cells supported fusion by the LAV but not the Ba-L Env, whereas cells treated with differentiating agents acquired fusion competence for Ba-L. These results suggest that in untreated cells, the block to infection by macrophage-tropic isolates is at the level of membrane fusion; furthermore, the differential regulation of fusion permissiveness for the two classes of Envs is consistent with the existence of distinct fusion cofactors. To test this notion directly, we conducted experiments with transient cell hybrids formed between CD4-expressing nonhuman cells (murine NIH 3T3) and different human cell types. Hybrids formed with HeLa cells supported fusion by the LAV Env but not by the Ba-L Env, whereas hybrids formed with primary macrophages showed the opposite specificity; hybrids formed between HeLa cells and macrophages supported fusion by both Envs. These results suggest the existence of cell type-specific fusion cofactors selective for each type of Env, rather than fusion inhibitors for discordant Env-cell combinations. Finally, analyses based on recombinant protein expression and antibody blocking did not support the proposals by others that the CD44 or CD26 antigens are involved directly in the entry of macrophage-tropic isolates.

Abstract
We investigated the relationship between the fusion selectivity of the envelope glycoprotein (env) and the tropism of different human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates for CD4+ human T-cell lines vs. primary macrophages. Recombinant vaccinia viruses were prepared encoding the envs from several well-characterized HIV-1 isolates with distinct cytotropisms. Cells expressing the recombinant envs were mixed with various CD4+ partner cell types; cell fusion was monitored by a quantitative reporter gene assay and by syncytia formation. With CD4+ continuous cell lines as partners (T-cell lines, HeLa cells expressing recombinant CD4), efficient fusion occurred with the envs from T-cell line-tropic isolates (IIIB, LAV, SF2, and RF) but not with the envs from macrophage-tropic isolates (JR-FL, SF162, ADA, and Ba-L). The opposite selectivity pattern was observed with primary macrophages as cell partners; stronger fusion occurred with the envs from the macrophage-tropic than from the T-cell line-tropic isolates. All the envs showed fusion activity with peripheral blood mononuclear cells as partners, consistent with the ability of this cell population to support replication of all the corresponding HIV-1 isolates. These fusion selectivities were maintained irrespective of the cell type used to express env, thereby excluding a role for differential host cell modification. We conclude that the intrinsic fusion selectivity of env plays a major role in the tropism of a HIV-1 isolate for infection of CD4+ T-cell lines vs. primary macrophages, presumably by determining the selectivity of virus entry and cell fusion.

Abstract
To determine the mechanism underlying the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) latency and its activation in monocyte/macrophage lineage, the human promonocytic cell line U937 was infected with HIV-1 after differentiation with varied doses of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Variously differentiated intermediate stages were generated in U937 cells in a dose-dependent manner. When these cells were infected with lymphotropic HIV-1, the kinetics of the production of HIV-1 DNA, the appearance of HIV-1 antigen-positive cells, and viral production in the conditioned media were slower at higher doses of PMA. This different susceptibility to the infection was not due to the rate of HIV-1 adsorption. Viral replication from latency in the differentiated cells was activated in proportion with the retrodifferentiation observed in long-term cultures of the host cells. Thus, our data demonstrate the close correlation between the regulation of HIV-1 replication and the differentiation stage of monocyte/macrophage lineage cells at the time of HIV-1 infection. The retrodifferentiation phenomenon in infected cells seems to be particularly important for understanding the mechanisms for HIV-1 activation from latency.

Abstract
Macrophages perform a central role in the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and have been implicated as the cell type most prominent in the development of central nervous system impairment. In this study, we evaluated the effect of interaction between macrophages and endothelial cells on HIV-1 replication. Upregulation of HIV-1 replication was consistently observed in monocyte-derived macrophages (hereafter called macrophages) cocultured with either umbilical vein endothelial cells or brain microvascular endothelial cells. HIV-1 p24 antigen production of laboratory-adapted strains and patient-derived isolates was increased 2- to 1,000-fold in macrophage-endothelial cocultures, with little or no detectable replication in cultures containing endothelial cells only. The upregulation of HIV-1 in macrophage-endothelial cocultures was observed not only for viruses with the non-syncytium-inducing, macrophage-tropic phenotype but also for viruses previously characterized as syncytium inducing and T-cell tropic. In contrast, cocultures of macrophages with glioblastoma, astrocytoma, cortical neuronal, fibroblast, and placental cells failed to increase HIV-1 replication. Enhancement of HIV-1 replication in macrophage-endothelial cocultures required cell-to-cell contact; conditioned media from endothelial cells or macrophage-endothelial cocultures failed to augment HIV-1 replication in macrophages. Additionally, antibody to leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA-1), a macrophage-endothelial cell adhesion molecule, inhibited the enhanced HIV-1 replication in macrophage-endothelial cell cocultures. Thus, these data indicate that macrophage-endothelial cell contact enhances HIV-1 replication in macrophages for both macrophage-tropic and previously characterized T-cell-tropic strains and that antibody against LFA-1 can block the necessary cell-to-cell interaction required for the observed upregulation. These findings may have important implications for understanding the ability of HIV-1 to replicate efficiently in tissue macrophages, including those in the brain and at the blood-brain barrier.

Abstract
The ability of HIV-1 to infect macrophages is thought to be essential in AIDS pathogenesis. We tested the ability of 19 primary virus isolates to infect monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) from different donors. Two HIV-1 isolates were able to establish a productive infection in MDM from all donors tested, whereas eight completely lacked this capacity. Next to these isolates with extreme phenotypes, 50% of the primary isolates under study displayed an intermediate phenotype. These intermediate macrophage-tropic isolates established a productive infection in MDM from some but not all donors tested. PCR analysis demonstrated that the capacity to replicate in MDM could be determined at the previously described level of virus entry. However, for intermediate macrophage-tropic isolates replication was abrogated at the level of reverse transcription. Entry of highly macrophage-tropic isolates resulted in efficient completion of the reverse transcription process, whereas entry of intermediate macrophage-tropic isolates did not. Our experiments indicate that primary HIV-1 isolates may differ in their dependency on cellular factors required for reverse transcription in MDM. Differences in susceptibility of MDM for in vitro HIV-1 infection suggest variation in the availability of these cellular factors between MDM from different individuals.

Abstract
Lymphotropic strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), including HTLV-IIIB, replicate poorly in macrophages. We have shown previously that lymphotropic HIV-1 fuses equally well with T lymphocytes and macrophages (M. J. Potash, M. Zeira, Z.-B. Huang, T. Pearce, E. Eden, H. Gendelman, and D. J. Volsky, Virology 188:864-868, 1992), suggesting that events in the virus life cycle following virus-cell fusion limit virus replication. We report here that HIV-1 DNA is synthesized efficiently in either ADA or HTLV-IIIB infected alveolar macrophages or monocyte-derived macrophages within 24 h of virus infection, as observed by polymerase chain reaction for amplification of viral DNA sequences from the gag gene. Infection by a cloned lymphotropic HIV-1 strain, N1T-A, also leads to viral DNA synthesis. However, circular viral DNA was detected during strain ADA infection but not during HTLV-IIIB or N1T-A infection of monocyte-derived macrophages. These findings indicate that during replication of lymphotropic HIV-1 in macrophages, all steps of the virus life cycle up to and including reverse transcription take place and that defects in later events, including DNA migration to the nucleus, may account for the limited production of viral proteins.

Abstract
HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV each bind to CD4 as the first step in virus entry. However, alternative receptors may also be used. HIV-1 binds to glycolipids with terminal galactosylceramide residues on neural cells; opsonized virus binds to Fc receptors; HIV-2 can infect certain CD4-negative cells. Further receptors may also play a role in CD4-mediated infection, including cell adhesion molecules and possibly cell surface proteinases. After binding to CD4, immunodeficiency viruses require secondary molecules to effect fusion between the virus envelope and the cell membrane; these accessory requirements differ between HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV.
