Chronic Exposure to Type-I IFN under Lymphopenic Conditions Alters CD4 T Cell Homeostasis

English version České info

While the acute CD4 depletion observed in the initial phase of HIV infection is likely due to direct cytopathic effects of the virus, the mechanism/s underlying the steady decline of the CD4 T cell pool during the chronic phase of infection are unclear and are felt to be associated with “immune activation.” We hypothesized that the combination of two distinct forces: homeostatic (CD4 T cell depletion) and inflammatory (HIV-driven IFN-α), lead to a form of T cell activation that results in a decline in the CD4 T cell pool and an increase in the CD8 T cells. IL-7 and lymphopenia enhanced CD4 T cell responsiveness to IFN-α by modulating expression of the Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription 1, 2 and 3. In a murine model, CD4 T cell depletion and CD8 T cell expansion were observed in a lymphopenic host chronically treated with IFN-α. These findings suggest that a synergistic interaction between lymphopenia and IFN-α may play a role in the pathogenesis of HIV infection. The analysis of this pathway may contribute to the development of new strategies to reverse the dysregulation of the T cell pools seen in patients with HIV infection.
