- Productive HIV-1 infection of macrophages triggers an innate antiviral response.
- HIV-1 infected macrophages activate interferon stimulated genes and cell death.
- HIV-1 infection increases Rig-I and MDA5 expression and p21-mediated cell cycle arrest.
- Infected macrophages become refractory to over infection through SAMHD1 activation.
- Innate immune responses may serve as targets for eradicating HIV-1 infection.
HIV-1 infection is thought to impair type I interferon (IFN-I) production in macrophages, a cell type that is also relatively resistant to HIV-1 cytotoxic effects. Here, we show that monocyte differentiation into macrophages by M-CSF led to cell proliferation and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection that induced cell cycle arrest and increased cell death. Established HIV-1 infection of monocyte-derived macrophages induced the upregulation of the pattern recognition receptors MDA5 and Rig-I that serve as virus sensors; production of interferon-β, and transcription of interferon-stimulated genes including CXCL10. Infected macrophages showed increased expression of p21 and subsequent inactivation of cyclin-CDK2 activity leading to a hypo-phosphorylated active retinoblastoma protein (pRb) and deactivation of E2F1-dependent transcription and CDK1 downregulation. Additionally, HIV-1 infection limited deoxynucleotide pool by downregulation of the ribonucleotide reductase subunit R2 (RNR2) and reactivation of the HIV-1 restriction factor SAMHD1 together with increased cell death. In conclusion, HIV-1 induced an innate antiviral mechanism associated to IFN-I production, interferon stimulated gene activation, and p21-mediated G2/M arrest leading to elevated levels of cell death in monocyte derived macrophages. Upregulation of MDA5 and Rig-I may serve as targets for the development of antiviral strategies leading to the elimination of HIV-1 infected cells.
