Progressive and Persistent Downregulation of Surface CXCR4 in CD4+ T Cells Infected With Human Herpesvirus 7

From the Institute of Human Virology, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD; and the Human Anatomy Section, Department of Morphology and Embriology, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.

We have previously shown that infection of CD4+ T lymphocytes with the T-lymphotropic human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) downregulates surface CD4, which represents the high-affinity receptor for HHV-7. In this study, we report that HHV-7 infection also causes a progressive loss of the surface CXC-chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in CD4+ T cells, accompanied by a reduced intracellular Ca2+ flux and chemotaxis in response to stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha ), the specific CXCR4 ligand. Moreover, CXCR4 is downregulated from the surface of HHV-7-infected T cells independently of CD4. Because intracellular CXCR4 antigen and mRNA levels are unaffected in productively HHV-7-infected cells, the downregulation of CXCR4 apparently does not involve a transcritional block. Since CXCR4 functions in association with CD4 to permit entry of several human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) isolates, the potential of HHV-7 to persistently downregulate the surface expression of CXCR4 may provide novel strategies for limiting HIV infection.
