Exosomes are secreted cellular vesicles that can be internalized by dendritic cells (DCs) contributing to antigen specific naive CD4+ T cell activation. Here, we demonstrate that HIV-1 can exploit this exosome antigen-dissemination pathway intrinsic to mature DCs (mDCs) for mediating trans infection of T lymphocytes. Capture of HIV-1, HIV-1 Gag-eGFP viral like particles (VLPs) and exosomes by DCs was upregulated upon maturation, resulting in localization within a CD81+ compartment. Uptake of VLPs or exosomes could be inhibited by a challenge with either particle, suggesting that the expression of common determinant(s) on VLP or exosome surface is necessary for internalization by mDCs. Capture by mDCs was insensitive to proteolysis, but blocked when virus, VLPs, or exosomes were produced from cells treated with sphingolipid biosynthesis inhibitors that modulate the lipid composition of the budding particles. Finally, VLPs and exosomes captured by mDCs were transmitted to T lymphocytes in an envelope glycoprotein-independent manner, underscoring a new potential viral dissemination pathway.
