Constitutive Activation of STATs Upon In Vivo Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

From the AIDS Immunophatogenesis Unit, DIBIT, and the Division of Infectious Diseases, Centro San Luigi, San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy.

Infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) either upregulates or downregulates the expression of several cytokines and interferons (IFNs) that use the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway for signal transduction. However, very little is known on the state of activation of the JAK/STAT pathway after HIV infection either in vivo or in vitro. In this regard, we report here that a constitutive activation of a C-terminal truncated STAT5 (STAT5triangle ) and of STAT1alpha occurs in the majority (~75%) of individuals with progressive HIV disease. We have further demonstrated that, among peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), STAT5triangle is activated preferentially in CD4+ T cells. In contrast to a published report, expression of STATs from PBMCs of infected individuals was comparable with that of seronegative donors. In addition, in vitro infection of mitogen-activated PBMCs with a panel of laboratory-adapted and primary HIV strains characterized by differential usage of chemokine coreceptors did not affect STAT protein levels. However, enhanced activation of STAT was observed after in vitro infection of resting PBMCs and nonadherent PBMCs by different viral strains. Thus, constitutive STAT activation in CD4+ T lymphocytes represents a novel finding of interest also as a potential new marker of immunological reconstitution of HIV-infected individuals.
