HIV infection leads to reduced numbers and increased turnover of
CD4+ T cells in blood. However, blood represents only 2%
of the total lymphocyte pool, and information about other organs is
lacking, leading to controversy about the effects of HIV infection on
T-cell homeostasis. Therefore, we have determined phenotype and
turnover of lymphocyte subsets in various tissues of macaques.
Infection with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) resulted in
increased proliferation rates of T cells in all organs. Despite reduced CD4 counts in blood, absolute numbers of CD4+ T cells were
increased in spleen and lymph nodes and remained stable in nonlymphoid
organs such as liver, lung, bone marrow, and brain during the
asymptomatic phase, indicative for an altered tissue distribution. In
animals killed with first signs of AIDS, total body CD4 counts and
proliferation rates had returned to control levels, whereas thymocytes
were almost completely absent. Our data show that a drastically
increased turnover in the early stages of HIV infection, driven by a
generalized immune activation rather than a homeostatic response to
CD4+ T-cell destruction, is followed by exhaustion of the
regenerative capacity of the immune system.
