Human macrophages express chemokine receptors that act as coreceptors for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and are major targets for HIV-1 infection in vivo. The effects of cytokines on HIV-1 infection of macrophages and on the expression of CCR5, the principal coreceptor for macrophage-tropic viruses, have now been investigated. Expression of CCR5 on the surface of freshly isolated human monocytes was virtually undetectable by flow cytometry with the monoclonal antibody 5C7. However, after culture of monocytes for 48 h in serum-free medium, approximately 30% of the resulting macrophages expressed CCR5 and the cells were susceptible to infection by macrophage-tropic HIV-1. Addition of either macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to the cultures markedly increased both the extent of HIV-1 entry and replication as well as surface expression of CCR5. In contrast, addition of the T-helper 2 (Th2) cell-derived cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) or IL-13 prevented the expression of CCR5 induced by culture in medium alone, and IL-4 inhibited virus entry, replication, and cytopathicity under these conditions. IL-4 or IL-13 also prevented the stimulatory effects of M-CSF or GM-CSF on CCR5 expression as well as HIV-1 entry and replication. In addition, IL-4 reversed the increase in CCR5 expression induced by pretreatment of cells with M-CSF. Although IL-10 also inhibits HIV-1 replication in macrophages, it did not suppress surface CCR5 expression induced by colony-stimulating factors. These results indicate that the cytokine environment determines the susceptibility of macrophages to HIV-1 infection by various mechanisms, one of which is the regulation of HIV-1 coreceptor expression.
