Myeloid lineage cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), targeted by HIV-1, are important vehicles for virus dissemination through the body as well as viral reservoirs. Compared to activated lymphocytes, myeloid cells are collectively more resistant to HIV-1 infection. Here we report that NRP-1, encoding transmembrane protein neuropilin-1, is highly expressed in macrophages and DCs but not CD4+ T cells, serving as an anti-HIV factor to inhibit the infectivity of HIV-1 progeny virions. Silencing NRP-1 enhanced the transmission of HIV-1 in macrophages and DCs significantly and increased the infectivity of the virions produced by these cells. We further demonstrated that NRP-1 was packaged into the progeny virions to inhibit their ability to attach to target cells, thus reducing the infectivity of the virions. These data indicate that NRP-1 is a newly identified antiviral protein highly produced in both macrophages and DCs that inhibit HIV-1 infectivity; thus, NRP-1 may be a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, 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).

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.
