The ligation of programmed death-ligand 1 (B7-H1) to T cells results in the preferential production of IL-10. We investigated if B7-H1 would be upregulated in HIV infection, a disease characterized by increased IL-10 production, by measuring B7-H1, B7-1 (CD80), and B7-2 (CD86) expression and mRNA in 36 HIV-infected patients and in 22 healthy controls (HC). Results showed that: 1) B7-H1 expression and mRNA are augmented in cells of HIV patients; 2) increased IL-10 production in these patients is largely induced by B7-H1-expressing CD14+ cells; 3) an inverse correlation is detected between B7-H1 expression and CD4 counts, whereas the upregulation of B7-H1 is directly associated with HIV plasma viremia; 4) antiviral therapy results in the parallel down modulation of IL-10 production and B7-H1 expression/synthesis; and 5) B7-H1/CD80 and B7-H1/CD86 mRNA ratios are increased in PBMC of HIV patients compared to HC. B7-H1 synthesis and expression is upregulated in HIV infection and the degree of dysregulation correlates with the severity of disease. Aberrant antigen presentation by APC that exhibit increased B7-H1 expression and IL-10 production in HIV infection could be responsible for T lymphocyte unresponsiveness and loss of protective immunity. B7-H1 is a surrogate marker potentially involved in AIDS disease progression.
