Replication of immunodeficiency viruses (HIV-1 and SIV) in immature dendritic cell (DC)-T cell cocultures is dependent on Nef. In contrast, mature DCs promote the replication of wild-type and nef-defective SIV in concert with CD4(+) T cells. Transcription factor activation occurs on DC maturation and this study aimed to investigate whether Nef triggers similar events in immature DCs, rendering them more like mature DCs. Recombinant HIV nef-expressing adenovirus was used to selectively introduce nef into immature human or macaque DCs. These data provide the first evidence that the expression of HIV nef in immature DCs induced selective activation of STAT3 and, to a lesser extent, NF-kappaB. This highlights how Nef can signal primary immature DCs, suggesting one way in which Nef may modulate immature DCs to drive virus replication in the DC-T cell milieu.

D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
