IMMUNOBIOLOGY

Activation of the formyl peptide receptor by the HIV-derived peptide T-20 suppresses interleukin-12 p70 production by human monocytes

Michael C. Braun, Ji Ming Wang, Edward Lahey, Ronald L. Rabin, and Brian L. Kelsall

From the Immune Cell Interaction Unit, Mucosal Immunity Section, and the Cytokine Biology Unit, Laboratory of Clinical Investigation, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda; and the Laboratory of Molecular Immunoregulation, Division of Basic Sciences, National Cancer Institute-Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center, MD.

It has been proposed that in the early stages of human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection, before the loss of CD4+ T cells, inhibition of IL-12 production from host antigen-presenting cells plays a critical role in the suppression of T-helper cell type 1 responses. Activation of the Gi-protein-coupled high-affinity N-formyl peptide receptor by f-met-leu-phe and HIV-derived peptide T-20-suppressed IL-12 p70 production from human monocytes in response to both T-cell-dependent and T-cell-independent stimulation are reported. Activation of the low-affinity N-formyl peptide receptor by the HIV-derived F-peptide suppressed IL-12 production more modestly. This suppression was pertussis toxin sensitive and was selective for IL-12; the production of IL-10, transforming growth factor-beta , and tumor necrosis factor-alpha was unaltered. The production of IL-12 p70 by dendritic cells was unaffected by these peptides despite functional expression of the high-affinity fMLP receptor. These findings provide a potential direct mechanism for HIV-mediated suppression of IL-12 production and suggest a broader role for G-protein-coupled receptors in the regulation of innate immune responses.
