title: Role of N-glycans and SDF-1alpha on the coassociation of CD4 with CXCR4 at the plasma membrane of monocytic cells and blood lymphocytes.
abstract: CXCR4 is a coreceptor, along with CD4, for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Trimolecular complexes between HIV-1 glycoprotein (gp)120, CD4 and CXCR4 constitute a prerequisite for HIV entry. We studied whether CD4 is associated with CXCR4 on CD4+ CXCR4+ cells. Using the conformation-dependent anti-CXCR4 mAb 12G5, CD4 was coimmunoprecipitated with CXCR4 from the membrane of U937 cells which support HIV-1(LAI) efficient infection, and from that of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). CD4 association with CXCR4 increased upon PBL coculture for 5 days with autologous monocytes, decreased upon treatment of the cells or the CD4-CXCR4 complex with either N-glycanase or stromal cell derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1alpha) and was abolished by incubation of the cells with both, N-glycanase and SDF-1alpha. This indicates that glycans are partly involved in CD4 association with CXCR4 and may partly explain the inhibitory effect of SDF-1alpha on HIV infection.
