ABSTRACT |
N-terminal modifications of the chemokine RANTES bind to C-C
chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and block human immunodeficiency virus type
1 (HIV-1) infection with greater efficacy than native RANTES. Modified
RANTES compounds induce rapid CCR5 internalization and much slower
receptor reexpression than native RANTES, suggesting that receptor
sequestration is one mode of anti-HIV activity. The rates of CCR5
internalization and reexpression were compared using the potent
n-nonanoyl (NNY)-RANTES derivative and CD4+ T
cells derived from donors with different CCR5 gene polymorphisms. NNY-RANTES caused even more rapid receptor internalization and slower
reexpression than aminooxypentane (AOP)-RANTES. Polymorphisms in the
promoter and coding regions of CCR5 significantly affected the receptor
reexpression rate after exposure of cells to NNY-RANTES. These
observations may be relevant for understanding the protective effects
of different CCR5 genotypes against HIV-1 disease progression.

INTRODUCTION |
C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)
binds the chemokines MIP-1
, MIP-1
, RANTES, MCP-2, MCP-3, MCP-4,
MCP-1, and eotaxin (5, 53) and also serves as the primary
coreceptor for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), HIV-2, and
simian immunodeficiency virus entry into target cells (1, 3, 4,
10, 12, 16, 19). Although multiple other coreceptors are
permissive for fusion of virus and transfected target cells (11,
14, 21-23, 26, 30, 32, 44, 48, 49, 51, 52, 54, 56, 57), only CCR5 and CXCR4 seem to be important for virus infection in human lymphoid cells (9, 38, 59, 63, 67). RANTES is a weak inhibitor of HIV-1 infection of T cells (13), but
N-terminal modifications of RANTES such as aminooxypentane (AOP)- or
n-nonanoyl (NNY)-RANTES are more potent inhibitors of both
T-cell and macrophage infection (39, 50, 58). This
inhibition of virus infection could be explained by occupancy of CCR5
and blocking of interaction with the CD4-gp120 complex, but it is more
likely to be due to receptor sequestration following internalization
and diminished CCR5 recycling or transport to the cell surface
(33, 43, 64). In this study, we compared the rates of CCR5
internalization and reexpression triggered by exposure to AOP- or
NNY-RANTES in primary CD4+ T lymphocytes isolated from
donors who differed in CCR5 genotype. NNY-RANTES induced more rapid
internalization of CCR5 and slower reexpression than AOP-RANTES, a
finding that correlates with the more potent inhibition of virus
infection by NNY-RANTES (39). Two unlinked polymorphisms,
V64I in CCR2 (27, 29) and
32 in exon 4 of CCR5
(25), were found to affect the rate of CCR5 receptor
reexpression. The rate of receptor reexpression was largely independent
of the baseline surface expression of CCR5, and the internalization
rate was not correlated with the reexpression rate. The impact of
polymorphisms at the CCR5 locus on receptor reexpression after
prolonged internalization and degradation may be an independent
predictor of disease progression following HIV-1 infection.

MATERIALS AND METHODS |
Donor genotyping.
Anonymous DNA samples from adult donors
participating in the volunteer blood donor pool of The Scripps Research
Institute General Clinical Research Center were amplified with PCR
primers flanking CCR5 promoter polymorphisms or the 32-bp deletion in exon 4. The V64I allelic variant in CCR2 was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism by a modification of the procedure described previously (37). The 3' primer for amplification
of the polymorphic region of CCR2 was replaced with the antisense primer 5' ATGAGAGGGTAACACCCGAG 3'. The 129-bp product was
subsequently digested as described elsewhere (37). Single
nucleotide polymorphisms were detected by automated sequencing of the
PCR products (5 to 10 clones per donor). A subset of donors were typed
for the G/A polymorphism at position
2459 (59029) by David McDermott
at the National Institutes of Health as previously described
(36).
Cell isolation and separation.
Peripheral blood mononuclear
cells were separated from whole blood from coded, genotyped donors by
Ficoll-Hypaque density sedimentation. Purified CD4+ T cells
were separated from other mononuclear cells by depletion of
CD8+, CD14+, CD16+, and
CD19+ cells by antibody treatment and magnetic bead
separation. The purified CD4+ T cells were activated by 3 days of exposure to phytohemagglutinin (PHA-P; 2 µg/ml; Boehringer
Mannheim) followed by the addition of 20 U of recombinant human
interleukin-2. Activated CD4+ T cells were used for CCR5
modulation experiments after 10 to 14 days of activation, a time chosen
to maximize baseline CCR5 expression (6, 66).
Analysis of CCR5 expression.
Surface-exposed CCR5 was
identified with the anti-CCR5 antibody PA12 (42), kindly
provided by Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Tarrytown, N.Y.). Staining
of CCR5 by PA12 is not affected by binding of RANTES (42).
Preliminary experiments confirmed that PA12 staining was not inhibited
by prior incubation of CD4+ T cells with NNY-RANTES at
4°C, but that staining with the anti-CCR5 antibody 2D7
(66) was inhibited. All staining of cells was performed at
4°C in the presence of 0.02% sodium azide to prevent further internalization of CCR5. Binding of PA12 antibody was detected with
phycoerythrin-conjugated donkey anti-mouse immunoglobulin G (Jackson
ImmunoResearch). The number of stained cells and the intensity of
staining were evaluated by flow cytometry using a FACScalibur
instrument and CellQuest software (Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry
Systems, Mountain View, Calif.). The collected data (usually 10,000 events) were gated by forward and right angle light scatter to
distinguish small cells from lymphoblasts. Under the culture conditions
used, 85 to 90% of the CD4+ T cells were small and 5 to
10% were lymphoblasts. Unless otherwise indicated, results are
presented for the predominant small cell population.
CCR5 recycling rates.
The rate of CCR5 internalization
following addition of ligands was calculated from plots of an index of
CCR5 expression versus time (minutes) after ligand addition (see the
legend to Fig. 1). The CCR5 expression index was calculated by
multiplying the geometric mean channel number of CCR5 staining by the
percentage of positive cells and dividing the resulting product by 100. The decline in CCR5 expression after ligand binding was exponential,
and a curve fitting program was used to calculate the power exponent of
the slope. The same program was used to calculate the exponential slope
of CCR5 reexpression after removal of ligands. Replicate experiments
(two to three) showed that the rates of CCR5 internalization and
reexpression were highly consistent for cells from a single donor.
AOP- and NNY-RANTES.
N-terminal modifications of RANTES were
prepared by total chemical synthesis as described previously (39,
65). The purity of each batch of compounds was tested by mass
spectrometry. Their ability to block HIV-1 infection was also confirmed
prior to the CCR5 modulation experiments.
Cell fusion assays.
CCR5-tropic viral envelope-mediated cell
fusion assays were carried out essentially as described elsewhere
(18), using the cell lines HeLa-P5L and HeLa-Env-ADA
(58), both of which were provided by the laboratory of M. Alizon (Paris, France). HeLa-P5L cells were seeded in 96-well plates
(104 cells per well in 100 µl). Twenty-four hours later,
medium was removed and medium containing 104 HeLa-Env-ADA
cells per well plus chemokines was added to a final volume of 200 µl.
After a further 24 h, cells were washed once in phosphate-buffered
saline and lysed in 50 µl of phosphate-buffered saline-0.5% NP-40
for 15 min at room temperature. Lysates were assayed for for
-galactosidase activity by the addition of 50 µl 2× CPRG
(chlorophenol red-
-D-galactopyranoside) substrate (16 mM
CPRG 120 mM Na2HPO4, 80 mM
NaH2PO4, 20 mM KCl, 20 mM MgSO4, 10 mM
-mercaptoethanol) followed by incubation for 1 to 2 h in the
dark at room temperature. The A575 was then read
on a Labsystems microplate reader. The reaction was stopped when the
A575 for the positive control wells (no
chemokine) reached 0.5 to 1, and results are expressed as 100 × (mean absorbance [treated]
mean absorbance [no envelope
cells])/(mean absorbance [no chemokine]
mean absorbance [no
envelope cells]). Experiments were performed in triplicate, and
dose-inhibition curves were fitted using Prism software (GraphPad).

RESULTS |
CCR5 internalization with different RANTES analogues.
Native
RANTES, AOP-RANTES, or NNY-RANTES was added to purified human
CD4+ T lymphocytes previously activated for 10 to 14 days
to optimize CCR5 baseline expression (66). Surface
expression of CCR5 was determined by staining with anti-CCR5 antibody
PA12 (42) followed by flow cytometric analysis at 3.25, 7.5, 15, and 30 min after addition of each ligand at 100 ng/ml (~12.7
nM). The methods for analyzing CCR5 expression are illustrated in Fig.
1, and the results of a representative
experiment are shown in Fig. 2A.
Addition of NNY-RANTES to
CD4+ T cells resulted in a decrease in both the percentage
of CCR5+ cells (Fig. 1A and E) and the mean intensity of
CCR5 staining (Fig. 1B and E). The genotype of the CD4+
T-cell donor (in this case, CCR5
32/+ versus +/+) influenced both of
these parameters. The total expression of surface-exposed CCR5 was
calculated as the CCR5 index (see Materials and Methods), as
illustrated in Fig. 1C. The resulting data were then normalized by
expressing the CCR5 index as a percentage of the time zero value prior
to addition of CCR5 ligands (Fig. 1D). Subsequent figures use the data
presentation format shown in Fig. 1D to facilitate comparison between
different ligands and cell donors.

FIG. 1.
Down regulation of CCR5 expression by exposure to
NNY-RANTES. NNY-RANTES was added to purified human CD4+
lymphocytes from a 32 wild-type (WT; +/+) or heterozygous (Het;
32/+) donor at time zero, and CCR5 expression was determined by
staining with the anti-CCR5 antibody PA12 at the indicated time points.
Data are expressed as the percentage of CCR5-positive cells (A), the
geometric mean staining intensity (B), the CCR5 index (percent positive
cells × mean intensity/100) (C), and the percent control CCR5
index (D). (E) Representative flow cytometry data used for these
calculations. Cells were classified as CCR5 positive if the intensity
of staining was greater than channel 10, a cutoff established by
staining with an isotype control antibody. These results thus reflect
virtually complete internalization of CCR5 and do not reflect minor
decreases in CCR5 intensity. Antibody PA12 recognizes the N-terminal
extracellular domain of CCR5, and its binding site is not blocked by
chemokine binding (42).

infection by addition of AOP- or NNY-RANTES to cultures of purified
human CD4+ T lymphocytes. (D) Inhibition of R5-tropic viral
envelope-mediated fusion between HeLa-P5L cells and HeLa-Env-ADA cells.
Fusion was measured in the presence of increasing concentrations of
AOP-RANTES and NNY-RANTES (mean, maxima, and minima), as described in
Material and Methods. In this representative experiment, the calculated
IC50s are 730 pM for AOP-RANTES and 82 pM for NNY-RANTES.
We have noted that the sensitivity of the assay, and hence the absolute
IC50 for a given inhibitor, is subject to systematic
variation, probably according to the passage number of both the
envelope cell line (HeLa-Env-ADA) and the target cell line (HeLa-P5L). Over a series of tens of experiments, for
example, the IC50s for AOP-RANTES lay in a range between
0.3 and 3 nM, and those of NNY-RANTES were between 40 and 300 pM. In a
given experiment, the activity of one inhibitor relative to another
varies to a much lesser extent, however, with NNY-RANTES consistently
more active than AOP-RANTES by approximately an order of magnitude.

As shown in Fig.
2A, NNY-RANTES addition resulted in more rapid
internalization of CCR5 than exposure to AOP-RANTES. Addition
of native
RANTES to CD4
+ T cells resulted in only a transient and
minor decrease in CCR5
intensity (Fig.
2A), followed by an apparent
increase in CCR5
expression to values higher than baseline. In further
analysis
of these data, CD4
+ lymphocytes were segregated
into small cells and lymphoblasts
were segregated on the basis of
forward and side light scatter.
Baseline CCR5 expression was higher on
lymphoblasts, which accounted
for ~5% of total cells, and the extent
of CCR5 internalization
was less than on smaller cells (data not
shown). Nonetheless,
the initial rate of CCR5 internalization was
similar or higher
for lymphoblasts than for small cells. These results
indicate
that the rate and extent of CCR5 internalization depends on
both
the ligand and the state of cell activation. Subsequent
experiments
excluded lymphoblasts from analysis of CCR5 expression,
since
they represented a small proportion of the cultured
CD4
+ T lymphocytes and their inclusion would increase the
heterogeneity
of CCR5 modulation following ligand
binding.
NNY-RANTES exposure causes prolonged receptor internalization.
Exposure of lymphocytes to AOP-RANTES causes prolonged internalization
of CCR5 (33). The ability of NNY-RANTES to inhibit CCR5
receptor recycling was compared to that of AOP-RANTES. Purified CD4+ T lymphocytes were exposed to 100 ng of AOP- or
NNY-RANTES per ml for 1 h to allow receptor internalization, and
reexpression of CCR5 was measured as shown in Fig. 1 at 2, 4, 8, and
24 h. Representative results are plotted in Fig. 2B. Exposure to
NNY-RANTES resulted in more prolonged internalization of CCR5 than
exposure to AOP-RANTES, and this effect was more pronounced when the
CD4+ T cells were derived from a donor of the
32/+
genotype than when they were derived from a +/+ genotype. NNY-RANTES is
thus more potent than AOP-RANTES in accelerating CCR5 internalization and preventing CCR5 reexpression.
NNY-RANTES is more potent than AOP-RANTES in virus inhibition
assays.
To confirm a correlation between CCR5 internalization and
potency of N-terminal modifications of RANTES in virus inhibition assays, AOP- or NNY-RANTES was added to purified CD4+ T
cells 5 days after activation. The cells were infected with the R5
HIV-1 isolate SF162, which is highly susceptible to inhibition by
AOP-RANTES (58). NNY-RANTES was more potent at inhibiting virus infection than AOP-RANTES (Fig. 2C) in this and subsequent experiments. The ability of AOP- and NNY-RANTES to inhibit
envelope-mediated cell fusion was also assessed. As shown in Fig. 2D,
NNY-RANTES was about 1 log more potent (calculated 50% inhibitory
concentrations [IC50s] are 730 pM for
AOP-RANTES and 82 pM for NNY-RANTES) than AOP-RANTES in inhibiting
cell fusion. NNY-RANTES is thus more potent than AOP-RANTES in
modulating CCR5 expression and in inhibiting virus interaction with
target cells.
Impact of CCR5 genotype on receptor internalization and
reexpression.
A number of polymorphisms in the 5' untranslated
region of the CCR5 locus and a coding polymorphism in the closely
linked CCR2 gene have been described elsewhere (7, 28, 29, 35, 36, 40). The provisional nomenclature (alternative 2 7) for the most important of these polymorphisms as
well as previous designations are summarized in Fig.
3. The affects of these polymorphisms and
the 32-bp pair deletion in the CCR5 coding region (25) on disease progression or transmission are also summarized in Fig. 3. We
have used the designation of CCR5 alleles based on their evolutionary
history (40, 41) rather than the order of discovery (7) to simplify the data presentation and allow some
grouping of related alleles, although the significance of the grouping may be open to question.

In preliminary experiments, human donors were segregated based on the
G/A polymorphism at position

2459 (59029). As reported
by McDermott
et al. (
36), typing categorized approximately half
of the
donor pool as G/A heterozygotes, one quarter as G/G homozygotes
(haplogroups A to D) and one quarter as A/A homozygotes (haplogroups
E
to G) (Fig.
3). Donors were also typed for the

32 mutation
as
previously described (
47). We examined the internalization
rate of CCR5 on purified CD4
+ T cells from donors of each
genotype following exposure to 100
ng of AOP-RANTES per ml. CCR5
internalization was most rapid with
cells from A/A,

32/+ donors and
slowest with cells from G/G,
+/+ donors (data not shown). These initial
findings suggested
a linkage between donor genotype and CCR5 receptor
modulation
by N-terminal modifications of RANTES and prompted a more
detailed
investigation of this
relationship.
A more extensive genotyping involving most of the polymorphisms shown
in Fig.
3 was performed on a subset of the donor pool.
In particular,
all

32/+ donors were genotyped since the impact
of one wild-type
allele in the
cis regulatory region could be
measured with
the other allele held constant (haplogroup G*2 [Fig.
3]). Since the
protein product of the

32 locus is not expressed
at the cell surface
(
31), surface expression of CCR5 on CD4
+ T
cells from

32/+ donors is derived solely from the other CCR5
allele
(i.e., they are functionally
homozygous).
CCR5 internalization and reexpression rate.
The
internalization of CCR5 following receptor ligation and the rate of
CCR5 reexpression after removal of ligands was determined for
CD4+ T cells derived from 20 donors with the
32 genotype
(G*2 [Fig. 3]) at one allele (Fig. 4)
and 9 donors without the
32 mutation (Fig.
5). Fig. 4A to E presents histograms
showing the CCR5 staining index on CD4+ T lymphocytes
during 30 min of exposure to 100 ng of NNY-RANTES per ml, and Fig. 4F
to J presents data for CCR5 reexpression at 1 (just after removal of
ligand), 2, 4, 8, and 24 h. Results are grouped by genotype at the
expressed CCR5 allele. The intensity of CCR5 expression and the number
of positive cells are reduced by NNY-RANTES exposure, and both slowly
recover over the next 24 h. There was no consistent pattern of
CCR5 internalization or reexpression associated with a given haplotype,
although two of three donors with the F*2/G*2 (V64I) mutation showed
very limited reexpression of CCR5 (Fig. 4G). Individuals without the
32 mutation express the CCR5 protein product of both alleles. CCR5
internalization was similar in CD4+ T cells from these
wild-type donors regardless of CCR5 haplotype. CCR5 reexpression was
more rapid than in cells from
32/+ donors, and cells from one donor
with the F*2 (V64I) mutation had an unusual pattern of CCR5
reexpression (Fig. 5G). The mean rates of CCR5 internalization and
reexpression for cells from all 20
32/+ donors and 9 +/+ donors are
shown in Fig. 6. CCR5 internalization
following NNY-RANTES binding is marginally faster in cells from
32/+
donors, but CCR5 reexpression is substantially and significantly
(P = 0.004, two-tailed t test) slower in
32/+ cells (Fig. 6B).

Calculation of internalization and reexpression rates.
The
rates of CCR5 internalization and reexpression were both exponential
functions, with early rapid phases and later slower phases. The
exponential function describes the rate of internalization or the rate
of reexpression. The many observation points for each donor illustrated
in Fig. 4 and 5 were reduced to two numbers, the internalization rate
(a negative slope) and a reexpression rate (a positive slope for all
but five donors). The mean (± standard error) internalization slope of
CCR5 following ligation with NNY-RANTES for CD4+ T cells
from 9 +/+ donors and 20
32/+ donors grouped by CCR5 haplotype is
shown in Fig. 7A, and the mean
reexpression slope for the same groups is shown in Fig. 7B. The mean
CCR5 reexpression rate is more than twice as fast for cells from +/+
donors (Fig. 7B), also a highly significant difference (P = 0.005). Five
32/+ donors had negative slopes of CCR5
reexpression; i.e., the CCR5 index continued to decline even after
removal of NNY-RANTES. Two of these donors shared the F*2(V64I)/G*2
haplogroup. The mean CCR5 reexpression rate was slightly higher for
32/+ cells from CCR5 haplogroups A and C (Fig. 7B), but this
difference was not statistically significant.

exponential curve best fitting the data shown in Fig. 4 and 5. The

(B) CCR5 reexpression rates for the same donor groups. The slope is the
exponential function of the curve best fitting the data shown in Fig. 4
and 5 for time points from 1 to 24 h. The larger the positive

number of donors in each group is shown in parentheses. The data for
CCR5 reexpression for F*2 heterozygotes represent duplicate assays on
the three donors.

Baseline CCR5 expression might affect rates of receptor internalization
or reexpression. Baseline expression (prior to addition
of NNY-RANTES)
of CCR5 is shown in Fig.
8. Baseline
expression
was lower in T cells from

32/+ donors, as previously
observed
(
46). The lowest expression was seen in cells
from donors who
had the F*2/G*2 CCR5 haplotype. We analyzed the
correlation between
baseline CCR5 intensity versus internalization or
reexpression
rates for all 20

32/+ donors. Both rates showed a weak
correlation
with baseline CCR5 expression (higher baseline CCR5 tended
to
accelerate both internalization and reexpression), but neither
correlation was statistically significant. Baseline CCR5 expression
thus appears to be a poor predictor of either internalization
or
reexpression rates.

DISCUSSION |
These experiments demonstrate that modulation of CCR5 expression
following binding of modified RANTES ligands is dependent on both the
ligand and the CCR5 genotype of the lymphocyte donor. The NNY-RANTES
modification induced more rapid internalization of CCR5 following its
addition and slower reexpression of CCR5 following its removal than
AOP-RANTES. The observed kinetics of CCR5 modulation correlate with the
antiviral activity of NNY-RANTES versus AOP-RANTES (reference
39 and Fig. 2), which suggests but does not prove
that coreceptor sequestration is responsible for preventing HIV-1
infection. The mechanisms by which AOP- and NNY-RANTES slow receptor
reexpression remain to be determined, although slowing the normal
process of receptor recycling and/or enhancing receptor degradation are
obvious possibilities. Native RANTES causes extremely rapid CCR5
internalization, and reexpression occurs even in the presence of RANTES
(Fig. 2), which may explain why RANTES is not very effective at
inhibiting HIV-1 infection (13, 58). Prolonged receptor
internalization following binding of modified RANTES compounds may lead
to degradation and enhance the role of new protein synthesis in
receptor reexpression.
The second finding presented here is that the CCR5 genotype of
lymphocyte donors affected the rate of CCR5 reexpression after binding
and removal of NNY-RANTES. CD4+ T cells from donors who
were heterozygous for the
32 deletion in exon 4 of CCR5 showed
slower reexpression of CCR5 than cells from donors with other
genotypes. As previously reported (66), cells from
32/+
donors had lower baseline expression of CCR5 than cells from +/+ donors
(Fig. 8). However, baseline CCR5 expression was a poor predictor of
either CCR5 internalization or reexpression rates.
A second polymorphism, V64I in CCR5 (haplogroup F*2 [Fig. 3]), may
affect CCR5 reexpression after ligand-induced internalization. Figure 4
shows slower CCR5 reexpression in CD4+ T cells from two of
three donors who shared the F*2/G*2 genotype. A third donor with this
genotype did not show slower CCR5 re-expression, however; thus, more
observations are necessary to confirm these preliminary results. As
noted above, cells from these donors express only the protein product
of the V64I allele on their surface, and so any biological deficits may
be attributed to this protein or its turnover rate. However, the
nonsecreted, truncated protein product of the
32 allele may have a
dominant negative effect by dimerization with full-length CCR5 protein
(2), and this effect might accentuate minor defects
associated with the V64I F*2 allele. In infected patients, the
protective effect of the V64I mutation is independent of the
32
allele (60).
We initially observed delayed CCR5 internalization in donors who were
G/G at position
2459 (59029, haplogroups A to D [Fig. 3]), but
examination of additional donors did not confirm a dominant effect of
this allele. A larger sample of donors will be necessary to confirm any
impact of the
2459 polymorphism on CCR5 receptor reexpression.
The observations presented here were made with nonnative ligands that
cause rapid internalization and very slow reexpression of CCR5. CCR5
reexpression is much faster with native RANTES (Fig. 2), and it would
be difficult to calculate rates of CCR5 receptor recycling if it were
used as the CCR5 ligand. Slowing receptor recycling with NNY-RANTES may
exaggerate subtle differences in receptor recycling linked to genetic
polymorphisms either by extending the time frame of recycling or by
altering the underlying mechanisms. CCR5 is internalized after
association with arrestins and dynamin followed by endocytosis via
clathrin-coated pits (64). Reexpression may be due to
recycling from late endosomal compartments, transport from
presynthesized protein stores, or new protein synthesis. Preliminary
experiments indicate that receptor recycling or transport is more
important than protein synthesis (C. Pastore et al., unpublished data).
Polymorphisms at the CCR5 locus have been noted to affect the rate of
disease progression or transmission (7, 8, 15, 20, 27, 28, 31,
35-37, 40, 55, 60, 62). These effects are summarized in Fig. 3,
as are the results obtained in this study for CCR5 internalization and
reexpression. Rare polymorphisms in the coding region of CCR5 affect
both chemokine responses and HIV-1 infection (7, 24), but
because of their rarity and the absence of homozygotes, no effect on
disease progression can be evaluated. Several reports suggest a
correlation between higher CCR5 expression (in terms of both positive
cells and intensity of CCR5 staining) and more rapid disease
progression (17, 45). These effects can be most easily
understood as increasing the available target cell pool for the
predominant R5 virus population and allowing more efficient spreading
of virus infection. CCR5 polymorphisms that increase total expression
should increase disease progression, and those that decrease CCR5
expression should be protective. It is clear that the
32 mutation
decreases surface expression of CCR5, an observation that is consistent
with this explanation. However, there is no evidence that the
protective CCR2 V64I (F*2) or 59029 G/G (A to D) alleles decrease CCR5
expression (34, 36), and the mechanism of their protective
effect is unclear.
The results presented here suggest a modification of the target cell
hypothesis that adds a dynamic function. The available target cell pool
for R5 virus spread may be a product of the number of CCR5 positive
cells times the relative intensity of CCR5 expression times the
duration of CCR5 surface expression. CCR5 receptor internalization could be triggered by any of the native chemokine ligands or by contact
with CD4-bound or activated-gp120 on adjacent infected cells
(61). Polymorphisms in the cis-regulatory
region of CCR5 could affect protein synthesis rates, which in turn
could affect rates of CCR5 recovery. However, steady-state levels of
CCR5 expression may be largely independent of CCR5 reexpression rates.
We therefore propose that CCR5 receptor reexpression rate may be an
independent variable that affects the rate of HIV-1 disease progression.
