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-1 (SDF-1 ), 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.
