The influence of human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus type II
(HTLV-II) in individuals also infected with HIV-1 is poorly understood.
To evaluate the reciprocal influence of HTLV-II and HIV-1 infection,
primary peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures from
coinfected individuals were established in the presence of interleukin
2 (IL-2). In these cultures, the kinetics of HTLV-II replication
always preceded those of HIV-1. Noteworthy, the kinetics of HIV-1
production were inversely correlated to the HTLV-II proviral load in
vivo and its replication ex vivo. These observations
suggested a potential interaction between the 2 retroviruses. In
this regard, the levels of IL-2, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF- ) were measured in the same coinfected PBMC cultures.
Endogenous IL-2 was not produced, whereas IL-6 and TNF- were
secreted at levels compatible with their known ability to up-regulate
HIV-1 expression. The HIV-suppressive CC-chemokines RANTES, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1 ), and MIP-1 were also determined in IL-2-stimulated PBMC cultures. Of interest, their kinetics and
concentrations were inversely related to those of HIV-1 replication. Experiments were performed in which CD8+ T cells or PBMCs
from HTLV-II monoinfected individuals were cocultivated with
CD4+ T cells from HIV-1 monoinfected individuals
separated by a semipermeable membrane in the presence or absence of
antichemokine neutralizing antibodies. The results indicate that
HTLV-II can interfere with the replicative potential of HIV-1 by
up-regulating viral suppressive CC-chemokines and, in particular,
MIP-1 . This study is the first report indicating that HTLV-II can
influence HIV replication, at least in vitro, via up-regulation of
HIV-suppressive chemokines.
