The engagement of activating FcgammaRs inhibits primate lentivirus replication in human macrophages.

ABSTRACT: We previously reported that the stimulation of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) by plate-bound i.v. Igs inhibits HIV-1 replication. In this study, we show that IgG immune complexes also suppress HIV-1 replication in MDMs and that activating receptors for the Fc portion of IgG-FcgammaRI, FcgammaRIIA, and FcgammaRIII-are responsible for the inhibition. MDM stimulation through FcgammaRs induces activation signals and the secretion of HIV-1 modulatory cytokines, such as M-CSF, TNF-alpha, and macrophage-derived chemokine. However, none of these cytokines contribute to HIV-1 suppression. HIV-1 entry and postintegration steps of viral replication are not affected, whereas reduced levels of reverse transcription products and of integrated proviruses, as determined by real-time PCR analysis, account for the suppression of HIV-1 gene expression in FcgammaR-activated MDMs. We found that FcgammaR-dependent activation of MDMs also inhibits the replication of HIV-2, SIVmac, and SIVagm, suggesting a common control mechanism for primate immunodeficiency lentiviruses in activated macrophages.

Project description:UnlabelledAs key components of innate immune defense, macrophages are essential in controlling bacterial pathogens, including group A Streptococcus(GAS). Despite this, only a limited number of studies have analyzed the recovery of GAS from within human neutrophils and macrophages. Here, we determined the intracellular fate of GAS in human macrophages by using several quantitative approaches. In both U937 and primary human macrophages, the appearance over time of long GAS chains revealed that despite GAS-mediated cytotoxicity, replication occurred in viable, propidium iodide-negative macrophages. Whereas the major virulence factor M1 did not contribute to bacterial growth, a GAS mutant strain deficient in streptolysin O (SLO) was impaired for intracellular replication. SLO promoted bacterial escape from the GAS-containing vacuole (GCV) into the macrophage cytosol. Up to half of the cytosolic GAS colocalized with ubiquitin and p62, suggesting that the bacteria were targeted by the autophagy machinery. Despite this, live imaging of U937 macrophages revealed proficient replication of GAS after GCV rupture, indicating that escape from the GCV is important for growth of GAS in macrophages. Our results reveal that GAS can replicate within viable human macrophages, with SLO promoting GCV escape and cytosolic growth, despite the recruitment of autophagy receptors to bacteria.ImportanceClassically regarded as an extracellular pathogen, GAS can persist within human epithelial cells, as well as neutrophils and macrophages. Some studies suggest that GAS can modulate its intracellular vacuole to promote survival and perhaps replicate in macrophages. However, an in-depth single-cell analysis of the dynamics of survival and replication is lacking. We used macrophage-like cell lines and primary macrophages to measure the intracellular growth of GAS at both the population and single-cell levels. While CFU counts revealed no increase in overall bacterial growth, quantitative fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and time-lapse imaging revealed bacterial replication in a proportion of infected macrophages. This study emphasizes the importance of single-cell analysis especially when studying the intracellular fate of a pathogen that is cytotoxic and displays heterogeneity in terms of intracellular killing and growth. To our knowledge, this study provides the first direct visualization of GAS replication inside human cells.
