Interactions between HIV-infected monocyte-derived macrophages and human brain microvascular endothelial cells result in increased expression of CC chemokines.

The presence of perivascular monocytic infiltration is a major hallmark of HIV-1-associated dementia. Since CC chemokines are chemoattractant cytokines that are able to attract T cells and monocytes/macrophages to sites of inflammation, and since infiltrating monocytes/macrophages remain in close contact with the brain endothelium, we investigated whether interactions between HIV-1-infected macrophages and brain endothelium result in an altered chemokine production. We found an increased mRNA expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta, and RANTES by macrophages after HIV-1 infection. Interactions between HIV-infected macrophages and brain microvascular endothelial cells resulted in an additional upregulation of chemokine mRNA expression, during cell-cell contact as well as in a trans-well system. Since IL-1 beta can function as a modulator of chemokine expression we investigated if interleukin-1 beta could be involved in the regulation of chemokine induction. Coculturing of HIV-infected macrophages and endothelial cells resulted in immune-activation as indicated by increased mRNA expression of IL-1 beta. Subsequently, addition of a neutralizing antibody against IL-1 beta resulted in altered chemokine expression by macrophages, but not by endothelial cells. Thus, IL-1 beta appears to play a major role in the regulation of chemokines during cellular interactions in HIV-associated dementia, but other factors may also be involved.
