Chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are of major importance in the pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection because they are co-receptors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) entry. We examined the frequency of CD3-CD56+CCR5+ and CD3-CD56+CXCR4+ in HIV-infected long-term slow progressors (SPs), HIV typical progressors (TPs) with or without highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and HIV-seronegative controls. The results showed that the frequency of CD3-CD56+CCR5+ was up-regulated, and frequency of CD3-CD56+CXCR4+ was down-regulated in HAART-naïve HIV TPs group compared with HIV SPs group and HIV-seronegative controls (P < 0.05). The frequency of CD3-CD56+CCR5+ was down-regulated by HAART therapy (P < 0.05). The frequency of CD3-CD56+CCR5+ was lower in HIV SPs compared with controls (P < 0.05). Lower frequency of CD3-CD56+CXCR4+ and higher frequency of CD3-CD56+CCR5+ positively correlated with the level of HIV viral loads and negatively correlated with CD4 T cell counts (P < 0.05). These results indicated that the expression of chemokine receptors on NK cells correlated with HIV disease progression. Chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are of major importance in the pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection because they are co-receptors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) entry.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D019707 Receptors, Chemokine Cell surface glycoproteins that bind to chemokines and thus mediate the migration of pro-inflammatory molecules. The receptors are members of the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor family. Like the CHEMOKINES themselves, the receptors can be divided into at least three structural branches: CR, CCR, and CXCR, according to variations in a shared cysteine motif.
