Abstract
The stage of maturation of monocytes affects their susceptibility to HIV infection. The β-chemokines and their receptor CCR5 play a crucial role in inflammatory reactions and HIV infection. We therefore examined the correlation between the expression of CCR5 and β-chemokine production and the susceptibility to HIV infection during cord monocyte (CM) differentiation into macrophages. CM and CM-derived macrophages (CMDM) were examined for β-chemokine and CCR5 expression. The susceptibility of the CM cultured in vitro at different time points to HIV infection was also determined. Although the levels of CCR5 mRNA expression in freshly isolated CM are comparable to those in CMDM, CM had significantly lower levels of CCR5 protein on the cell surface than CMDM did. Steady increase of CCR5 protein expression on the cell surface was observed during CM differentiation into macrophages. The CCR5 expression correlated with the increased susceptibility to HIV infection by CMDM. Although there was no significant difference in endogenous β-chemokine production between CM and CMDM, HIV infection of CMDM significantly enhanced production of macrophage inflammatory protein-1α and -1β. CCR5 receptor plays a critical role in HIV infection of neonatal blood monocyte/macrophages.

Macrophages are a major target of infection by HIV type 1 (HIV), and serve as an important reservoir for transmitting the virus to other immune cells such as CD4+ T lymphocytes (1, 2). The β-chemokine receptor CCR5 plays an important role in nonsyncytium-inducing HIV strain infection of monocytes/macrophages (3–5). The high resistance to infection by M-tropic HIV strains in individuals homozygous for the CCR5 Δ32 mutation confirms that CCR5 is a major co-receptor for HIV (6–9). The natural ligands of CCR5 receptor, macrophage MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and RANTES, inhibit infection by interfering with HIV binding to the CCR5 receptor (3, 10–12). Thus, the levels of CCR5 expression and β-chemokine production directly influence HIV infection of monocytes and macrophages. Because the levels of CCR5 present on the cell surface determine the susceptibility of monocyte/macrophages to HIV infection, gaining an understanding of the mechanism that regulates the expression of this receptor on monocytes and macrophages is critical.
The immaturity of the neonatal immune system may play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of pediatric viral infections, including HIV. When compared with adult cells, neonatal monocyte/macrophages are selectively abnormal or immature in various aspects of phagocytosis (13), chemotaxis (14, 15), metabolism (16), and production of IFN-γ(17, 18). We have recently shown that cord blood mononuclear cells have selective defect in RANTES production compared with adult cells (19). The neonate and fetus are particularly susceptible to severe and fatal disseminated illness, including certain viral, parasitic, and bacterial infections. Infants infected with HIV perinatally have more rapid and fatal course than old children and adults. We (1) and others (20, 21) have documented that neonatal monocyte-derived macrophages are more susceptible to HIV infection in vitro than adult peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages. As monocytes differentiate into macrophages, they become highly susceptible to HIV infection (22–25). CCR5 expression during adult peripheral blood monocyte differentiation in vitro is directly related to macrophage susceptibility to HIV infection (24, 26). Although a great deal is known about CCR5 regulation in adult monocyte and monocyte-derived macrophages, little information is available about CCR5 expression, β-chemokine production, and their relationship to HIV infection during neonatal monocyte maturation in in vitro cultures. Because the regulation of β-chemokines and their receptor CCR5 during neonatal monocyte differentiation into macrophages has potential implication in pediatric inflammatory diseases, including HIV infection of neonatal immune cells, we investigated the relationship between CCR5 expression and β-chemokine production with susceptibility to HIV infection during neonatal monocyte differentiation into macrophages.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cell isolation.
Placental cord blood was obtained from healthy, term neonates. Informed consent was obtained, and the institutional review board of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has approved the present study. Briefly, placental cord blood mononuclear cells were separated by centrifugation for 45 min over Ficoll-Paque (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden). The mononuclear layer was collected and washed twice. CD14+ monocytes were separated by incubation with CD14 Microbeads (Millenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA, U.S.A.) for 15 min at 6–12°C. After wash, CD14+ monocytes were selected by a positive selection column as instructed by manufacturer. Purified monocytes were resuspended in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, penicillin (100 U/mL), and streptomycin (100 μg/mL), and plated in 48-well culture plates at a density of 0.25 × 106 cells/well. Isolated monocytes are >98% pure as assessed by flow cytometry using MAb against CD14+ (Leu-M3).
Flow cytometry analysis.
Placental CM and CMDM were analyzed by flow cytometry to determine CCR5 expression on cell surface. At designated time points (d 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8), 0.5 × 106cells were removed by gently scraping from a culture well in 24-well plates. Cells were incubated with fluorescein-conjugated antibodies against CCR5 (R & D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.) for 45 min at 4°C. Isotope-matched IgG1 labeled with fluorescein was used as a control (Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, U.S.A.). Cells were then washed with prechilled 1× PBS and re-suspended in 300 μL of 1% paraformaldehyde. Fluorescence was analyzed on a FacsCaliber flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, U.S.A.).
PCR analysis for CCR5.
To study the mRNA expression of CCR5 receptor during CM differentiation into macrophages (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 d in culture), RT-PCR was performed with oligonucleotide primer pairs specific for CCR5 receptor. Total cellular RNA was extracted by the single-step method of isolation using Tri Reagent (Molecular Research Center, Cincinnati, OH, U.S.A.) One-fifth of the total RNA samples were then reverse transcribed using Reverse Transcription System (Promega, Madison, WI, U.S.A.) with the specific primers for CCR5 (antisense) and β-actin for 1 h at 42°C, and the resulting cDNA was used as a template for PCR amplification. PCR amplification was performed with one-tenth of the cDNA for 35 cycles with AmpliTaq Gold (PerkinElmer, Branchburg, NJ, U.S.A.) in a GeneAmp PCR system 2400 (PerkinElmer-Cetus, Norwalk, CT, U.S.A.). The PCR reaction mixture contained 0.2 mM of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate, 20 pM of each of two primers, and 1.5 U of AmpliTaq Gold in 1× reaction buffer (PerkinElmer). PCR amplification consisted of heat inactivation of AmpliTaq Gold for 8 min at 95°C, followed by 35 cycles of 94°C for 30 s, 55°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 30 s and further elongation at 72°C for 7 min, using the specified CCR5 primers: 5′-CAAAAAGAAGGTCTTCATTAC-ACC-3′ (sense), and 5′-CCTGTGCCTCTTCTTCTCATTTC-3′ (antisense). The oligonucleotides were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA, U.S.A.). β-actin was used as a control to monitor the amount and integrity of RNA in each sample. PCR samples were analyzed by electrophoresis gel separation, using 4% NuSieve agarose gel for the separation of the CCR5 products and 2% NuSieve agarose gel for the separation of the β-actin products.
HIV infection and RT assay.
Neonatal monocytes and macrophages cultured in 48-well plates (0.25 × 106 cells/well) were infected with HIV Balstrain (3 × 106 CPM/mL of RT activity). The cells were washed three times with DMEM to remove unabsorbed virus 1 h after infection. Supernatants were collected for RT activity every 4 d. To determine the level of RT activity, 10 μL of culture supernatant was added to 50 μL of a cocktail containing poly (A), oligo (dt), MgCl2, Nonidet p-40, and 32P deoxythymidine 5′-triphosphate, and incubated for 20 h at 37°C. Thirty microliters of the reaction mixture was then spotted on DE 81 paper and air-dried. The filters were then washed in 2× standard saline citrate (SSC; 0.3 M NaCl/0.03 M sodium citrate, pH 7) and 100% ethanol, dried, cut, and placed in a scintillation counter (2200CA TRI-CARB Liquid Scintillation Analyzer, Packard Instrument Company, Meriden, CT, U.S.A.) for measurement of radioactivity.
Detection of MIP-1α and MIP-1β by ELISA.
Neonatal monocytes and macrophages (d 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 in culture, 0.25 × 106 cells/well in a 48-well plate) were treated with LPS (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO, U.S.A.) at concentration of 100 pg/mL. The culture supernatant was collected and analyzed for MIP-1α and MIP-1β production 24 h post-treatment. MIP-1α and MIP-1β in the culture supernatants were determined using ELISA (Endogen, Woburn, MA, U.S.A.). The sensitivity of the assay was 4 pg/mL for both MIP-1α and MIP-1β.
RESULTS
Expression of CCR5 on CM and CMDM.
To investigate whether CCR5 receptor expression was altered during the differentiation of CM to CMDM, the flow cytometry was performed to analyze the expression of CCR5 on the cell surface. The levels of CCR5 receptor expression on CM (d 0) were significantly lower (9.4%) than those on 8-d-cultured CMDM (50.7%) (Fig. 1A). The steadily increased expression of CCR5 on the cell surface (Fig. 1B) was observed during the course of CM differentiation into CMDM (2, 4, 6, and 8 d in cultures).
CCR5 mRNA levels in CM and CMDM.
To determine whether expression of CCR5 receptor on the cell surface is related to CCR5 mRNA expression during the differentiation of CM to CMDM, CCR5 mRNA extracted from CM and CMDM was examined by RT-PCR. CCR5 mRNA was present in both freshly isolated CM and cultured CMDM. The levels of CCR5 mRNA remained relatively constant as CM differentiated into CMDM (Fig. 2).
Production of β-chemokines by CM and CMDM.
When treated with LPS, freshly isolated CM (d 0) and cultured CMDM (d 8) produced β-chemokines (MIP-1α and MIP-1β) at similar levels (Fig. 3). HIV Bal-infected CMDM, however, showed a significant increase in levels of β-chemokines (Fig. 4). HIV-exposed CM (d 0) produced MIP-1α and MIP-1β at a mean concentration of 230 pg/mL and 450 pg/mL, respectively, whereas HIV infection of CMDM (d 8 in cultures) yielded 820 pg/mL and 1093 pg/mL of MIP-1α and MIP-1β, respectively. The increased levels of β-chemokines are positively correlated with HIV RT activity (Fig. 4). There was no significant difference between MIP-1α and MIP-1β expression during CM differentiation into CMDM and HIV infection of these cells.
Susceptibility of CM and CMDM to HIV infection.
The levels of HIV RT activity in culture supernatants were also assayed in the cultures of CM and CMDM at 4, 8, and 12 d postinfection with HIV Bal strain. As demonstrated in Figure 5, freshly isolated cord monocytes (d 0 CM) were refractory to HIV infection as demonstrated by low RT activities. However, significantly increased HIV RT activities were observed in d 8 CMDM cultures. Although RT activity in d 0 CM and d 8 CMDM varied among individual cord blood samples, the HIV infectivity in d 0 CM was significantly lower than that in d 8 CMDM at 8 or 12 d post infection (Fig. 5).
DISCUSSION
The macrophage is a major target of HIV in vivo, and plays an important role in the persistence of infection, serving as a viral reservoir (1, 2). In cell culture, blood-derived monocytes differentiate into macrophages, which mimics in vivo monocyte differentiation into macrophages in tissues. Immature monocytes in the blood infiltrate tissues and organs, becoming macrophages that express various enzymes and cell surface antigens (2). In the present study, we have demonstrated that CM and CMDM have distinct differences in their susceptibility to infection by HIV Bal strain. The degree of susceptibility to HIV Bal infection was clearly associated with the stage of differentiation of CM during in vitro culture. The increased susceptibility to HIV infection by macrophages during in vitro differentiation is not related to the expression of CD4 receptors (1, 27–29). In fact, CD4 expression on both cord and adult MDM was decreased at time (7–10 d) of HIV infection (1). Thus, other factors other than CD4 are involved in cell susceptibility to HIV infection. Our data show that in vitro CM differentiation was associated with the increased expression of CCR5 receptor, a major co-receptor for the entry of HIV macrophage-tropic strains into macrophages and CD4+ T lymphocytes (3–5, 7). Thus, up-regulation of CCR5 expression on CMDM is a possible mechanism responsible for the increased susceptibility of CMDM to HIV Bal strain infection.
The differentiation of adult blood monocytes into macrophages was accompanied by up-regulation of CCR5 expression (26). Fear et al.(30) reported more increased cell surface CCR5 on CMDM than CM. We previously showed a progressive decrease in CCR5 cell surface expression during CM differentiation into macrophages (31). These different observations may be the result of differences in the cell isolation methods. It is highly possible that CM were activated in the process of purification using gelatin-coated flasks (our previously used technique) (32). In the present study, we use MACS CD14 MicroBeads to purify monocytes and observed higher levels of membrane CCR5 expression on CMDM compared with freshly isolated CM. Low levels of membrane CCR5 expression on freshly isolated CM contributed to their limited susceptibility to HIV Bal strain infection. In contrast, CMDM with high levels of CCR5 expression were highly susceptible to HIV Bal strain infection. Interestingly, although freshly isolated CM expressed significantly lower levels of CCR5 receptors on the cell membrane than those on CMDM, the levels of CCR5 mRNA in CM are similar to those in 8-d-cultured CMDM (Fig. 2). This finding suggests that regulation of CCR5 receptor during CM maturation occurs at the post-transcriptional level. Our data extend the observation by Fear et al.(30), who showed no significant increase in CCR5 mRNA in 7-d-cultured macrophages in comparison to monocytes (d 1 pos-tisolation). Our findings are in contrast to Naif et al(22) and Tuttle et al(24), who demonstrated that freshly isolated adult blood monocytes expressed significantly lower levels of CCR5 mRNA than those expressed by 5-d-cultured adult blood macrophages, which was correlated with the low level expression of CCR5 on the cell surface of monocytes. A recent study demonstrated that during the course of monocyte differentiation into macrophage, both mRNA and protein expression of CCR5 increased (33). The discrepancy between our observations and others may be due to the difference in PCR amplification cycle numbers and the antibodies used for the detection of CCR5 receptor on the cell membrane. In addition, we used placental cord monocyte/macrophages in this study, which also may contribute the observed discrepancy.
β-chemokines (MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and RANTES) are the natural ligands for CCR5 receptor (10–12) and inhibit infection by competing with HIV for CCR5 receptor. Increased levels of β-chemokines have been shown to inhibit HIV infection (34). HIV infection induces β-chemokine productions (12, 35, 36), which presumably play a crucial role in recruiting uninfected T cells and monocytes to sites of active viral replication (35). Thus, differential expression of β-chemokines may contribute to the observed difference in susceptibility of CM and CMDM to HIV infection. We examined the role of β-chemokines in HIV infection of CM and CMDM. We observed little change in the levels of β-chemokines during CM differentiation into CMDM. A significant increase in the levels of β-chemokines, however, was observed in 8-d-cultured CMDM infected with HIV Bal strain (Fig. 4). This induction is dependent upon viral replication, because the increased production of β-chemokines was positively correlated with HIV RT activity (Fig. 4). Our data support the studies using adult peripheral blood monocytes, showing that HIV-infected macrophages elaborate β-chemokines both in vitro and in vivo(35). The increased β-chemokines may enhance the spread of infection through their chemoattractive effects on leukocytes, which may have important implication in perinatal HIV infection.
Taken together, our data provide new insights into the mechanism of differential susceptibility of CM and CMDM to HIV infection in vitro. Neonate monocyte/macrophages play an important role in the pathogenesis of perinatal HIV infection, because these cells are critical in antigen processing and presentation to both T and B lymphocytes. HIV infection of neonate monocyte/macrophages may damage their ability to process and present antigen in the normal immune response (37). Our data have provided further understanding of the role of β-chemokines and CCR5 in the pathogenesis of pediatric HIV infection.
