RESUMO
The incorporation of host-derived proteins in nascent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) particles is a well-established phenomenon. We recently demonstrated that the physical presence of host-encoded ICAM-1 glycoproteins on HIV-1 leads to a significant increase in virus infectivity in an ICAM-1/LFA-1-dependent fashion (J.-F. Fortin, R. Cantin, G. Lamontagne, and M. Tremblay, J. Virol. 71:3588–3596, 1997). We show here that conversion of LFA-1 to high affinity for ICAM-1 with the use of anti-LFA-1 antibodies (clones NKI-L16 and MEM83) markedly enhances the susceptibility of different target T-lymphoid cell lines, as well as of primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells, to infection by ICAM-1-bearing HIV-1 particles (6- to 95-fold). It is known that T-cell receptor (TCR) cross-linking induces a transient increase in LFA-1 affinity for ICAM-1. Treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with anti-TCR antibodies (clone OKT3) resulted in a transient increase in susceptibility to infection by ICAM-1-positive virions that parallels the previously reported kinetics of the LFA-1/ICAM-1 adhesion mechanism. Our results led us to postulate that the strong interaction taking place between virally incorporated ICAM-1 and cell surface-activated LFA-1 markedly enhances the efficiency of virus binding and entry, thus favoring greater infection by ICAM-1-bearing HIV-1 particles. In view of the knowledge that primary HIV-1 isolates harbor host-derived ICAM-1 on their surfaces, these results provide new information about the role of host-derived ICAM-1 in the life cycle of HIV-1 and how it could positively modulate the dynamics of the viral infection, mainly in cellular compartments, such as the lymphoid tissues, where the level of cellular activation is high and where the probability of encountering a T cell expressing the activated LFA-1 form is also elevated.
