IMMUNOBIOLOGY Primary infection with simian immunodeficiency virus: plasmacytoid dendritic cell homing to lymph nodes, type I interferon, and immune suppression1 Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA), Institute of Emerging Diseases and Innovative Therapies (IMETI), Division of Immuno-Virology (SIV), Fontenay-aux-Roses; 2 Université Paris-Sud, Unité Mixte de Recherche (UMR)–E01, Orsay; 3 Université Versailles St-Quentin, Pharmacologie, Unité Propre de Recherche et de l'Enseignement Supérieur (UPRES), Equipe d'Accueil (EA) 220, Unité de Formation et de Recherche (UFR) Médicale Paris-Ile de France Ouest, Saint-Quentin en Yvelines; 4 Centre Hospitalier de Versailles, Service de Biologie, Unité de Pharmacologie, Le Chesnay; 5 Service de Virologie, Hôpital Cochin-Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Université Paris Descartes, Paris; 6 Institut Cochin, Université Paris Descartes, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) UMR 8104, Paris; and 7 Inserm, U567, Paris, France
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are antigen-presenting cells that develop into type-I interferon (IFN-I)–producing cells in response to pathogens. Their role in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pathogenesis needs to be understood. We analyzed their dynamics in relation to innate and adaptive immunity very early during the acute phase of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection in 18 macaques. pDC counts decreased in blood and increased in peripheral lymph nodes, consistent with early recruitment in secondary lymphoid tissues. These changes correlated with the kinetic and intensity of viremia and were associated with a peak of plasma IFN-I. IFN-I and viremia were positively correlated with functional activity of the immune suppression associated enzyme indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and FoxP3+CD8+ T cells, which both negatively correlated with SIV-specific T-cell proliferation and CD4+ T-cell activation. These data suggest that pDCs and IFN-I play a key role in shaping innate and adaptive immunity toward suppressive pathways during the acute phase of SIV/HIV primary infection.
