HIV-1 copathogens are believed to play a critical role in progression to AIDS. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has a high prevalence in the general population and is a common copathogen in HIV-1-infected individuals. Important events in copathogen interactions with HIV-1 take place in lymphoid tissue where critical events in HIV-1 disease occur. Here, we used an experimental system of human lymphoid tissue ex vivo to investigate interactions of HCMV with HIV-1. We inoculated ex vivo blocks of human lymphoid tissue with a recombinant strain of HCMV, expressing the green fluorescent protein, and HIV-1 and monitored viral replication and the phenotype of productively infected cells. HCMV readily replicated in tissue blocks as revealed by the release of HCMV viral DNA and an increasing number of viral-positive cells. Immunophenotyping of HCMV-infected cells showed a preferential infection of activated lymphocytes. The number of these cells significantly increased in HIV-1-coinfected tissues. Accordingly, HCMV replication was enhanced 2- to-3 fold. This upregulation occurred in tissues infected with either CXCR4- or CCR5-utilizing HIV-1. Thus, HIV-1 creates new targets for HCMV, which may explain the strong association of HCMV with HIV-1 infection in vivo. Ex vivo-infected human lymphoid tissue constitutes a model to study the mechanisms of HCMV tissue pathogenesis and its interactions with HIV-1 and this model may provide new targets for anti-HIV-1 therapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008221 Lymphoid Tissue Specialized tissues that are components of the lymphatic system. They provide fixed locations within the body where a variety of LYMPHOCYTES can form, mature and multiply. The lymphoid tissues are connected by a network of LYMPHATIC VESSELS. Lymphatic Tissue,Lymphatic Tissues,Lymphoid Tissues,Tissue, Lymphatic,Tissue, Lymphoid,Tissues, Lymphatic,Tissues, Lymphoid
D009924 Organ Culture Techniques A technique for maintenance or growth of animal organs in vitro. It refers to three-dimensional cultures of undisaggregated tissue retaining some or all of the histological features of the tissue in vivo.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.
