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- , and tumor necrosis factor- 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.
