Abstract
Activated lymphocytes have a high level of low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake as compared to resting lymphocytes, whereas scavenger receptors for acetylated LDL (Ac-LDL) are expressed on limited number of immune cells, i.e., monocytes/macrophages. The endocytosis of LDL and Ac-LDL by mononuclear cells was studied during in vitro and in vivo HIV infection, in order to use LDL and Ac-LDL as carriers of antiviral and/or immunomodulatory drugs towards lymphocytes and monocytes. The uptake of LDL and Ac-LDL was analyzed by cytofluorimetry. LDL endocytosis in PHA/IL2-activated lymphocytes was higher than in resting lymphocytes. In vitro HIV infection of PHA/IL2-activated lymphocytes did not alter the high LDL endocytosis in lymphocytes. CD4+ and CD8+ cells. In a group of 12 symptomatic patients there was no alteration of LDL endocytosis in lymphocytes, CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes. In another group of 23 individuals, the Ac-LDL endocytosis mediated by CD14+ monocytes was unaltered in asymptomatic patients (n = 6) and in some symptomatic patients (n = 6, CD14+ cells > 100/mm3). On the contrary, in other symptomatic patients (n = 11, CD14+ cells < 100/mm3), the number of Ac-LDL+ CD14+ cells decreased, whereas their efficiency of Ac-LDL en...Continue Reading
