Abstract

Apoptosis has been proposed to mediate CD4+ T-cell depletion in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. Interaction of Fas ligand (FasL) with Fas (CD95) results in lymphocyte apoptosis, and increased susceptibility to Fas-mediated apoptosis has been demonstrated in lymphocytes from HIV-infected individuals. Cells undergoing apoptosis in lymph nodes from HIV-infected individuals do not harbor virus, and therefore a bystander effect has been postulated to mediate apoptosis of uninfected cells. These data raise the possibility that antigen-presenting cells are a source of FasL and that HIV infection of cells such as macrophages may induce or increase FasL expression. In this report, we demonstrate that HIV infection of monocytic cells not only increases the surface expression of Fas but also results in the de novo expression of FasL. Interference with the FasL-Fas interaction by anti-Fas blocking antibodies abrogates HIV-induced apoptosis of monocytic cells. Human monocyte-derived macrophages from healthy donors contain detectable FasL mRNA, which is further upregulated following HIV infection with monocytotropic strains. HIV-infected human macrophages result in the apoptotic death of Jurkat T cells and peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Interruption of the FasL-Fas interaction abrogates the HIV-infected macrophage-dependent death of T lymphocytes. These results provide evidence that human macrophages can provide a source of FasL, especially following HIV infection, and can thus participate in lymphocyte depletion in HIV-infected individuals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
