Noninfectious entry of HIV-1 into peripheral and brain macrophages mediated by the mannose receptor.

ABSTRACT: Although protein receptors on the plasma membrane involved in the initial steps of productive HIV-1 infection have been well characterized, little is known about interactions between cellular carbohydrate receptors and HIV-1. Here, we report the involvement of a carbohydrate receptor, the macrophage mannose receptor (MR), and its role in supporting HIV-1 binding and entry. HIV-1 can enter the cytoplasm of human macrophages and microglia as well as murine macrophages by MR, although no subsequent viral replication was observed. Correspondingly, HIV-1 entry into Cos-7 cells after induction of expression of MR by transfection with MR-cDNA did not demonstrate viral replication. Our studies suggest that whereas MR may serve as a binding and an entry site, the MR-mediated pathway does not lead to productive HIV-1 infection. In addition, we report that recombinant HIV-1 gp120 blocks MR-mediated phagocytosis in human and murine alveolar macrophages and microglial cells. Therefore, characterization of the HIV-1 noninfectious MR-mediated phagocytic pathway may foster advances in HIV-1 vaccine design and an improved understanding of HIV-1/AIDS pathogenesis and host defenses.

Project description:Macrophages are one of the major targets of Human Immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) and play crucial roles in viral dissemination and persistence during AIDS progression. Here, we reveal the dynamic podosome-mediated entry of HIV-1 into macrophages. Inhibition of podosomes prevented HIV-1 entry into macrophages, while stimulation of podosome formation promoted viral entry. Single-virus tracking revealed the temporal and spatial mechanism of the dynamic podosome-mediated viral entry process. The core and ring structures of podosomes played complex roles in viral entry. The HIV coreceptor, CCR5, was recruited to form specific clusters at the podosome ring, where it participated in viral entry. The podosome facilitated HIV-1 entry with a rotation mode triggered by dynamic actin. Our discovery of this novel HIV-1 entry route into macrophages, mediated by podosomes critical for cell migration and tissue infiltration, provides a new view of HIV infection and pathogenesis, which may assist in the development of new antiviral strategies.IMPORTANCEMacrophages are motile leukocytes and play critical roles in HIV-1 infection and AIDS progression. Podosomes, as small dynamic adhesion microdomains driven by the dynamic actin cytoskeleton, are mainly involved in cell migration of macrophages. Herein, we found that HIV-1 uses dynamic podosomes to facilitate its entry into macrophages. Single-virus imaging coupled with drug assays revealed the mechanism underlying the podosome-mediated route of HIV-1 entry into macrophages, including the dynamic relationship between the viral particles and the podosome core and ring structures, the CCR5 coreceptor. The dynamic podosome-mediated entry of HIV-1 into macrophages will be very significant for HIV-1 pathogenesis, especially for viral dissemination via macrophage migration and tissue infiltration. Thus, we report a novel HIV-1 entry route into macrophages mediated by podosomes, which extends our understanding of HIV infection and pathogenesis.
