- We report that interleukin 4 (IL-4) inhibits the propagation of non-syncytia-inducing and increases the propagation of syncytia-inducing HIV-1 isolates by two mechanisms. It differentially regulates the two major HIV-1 coreceptors, CCR5 and CXCR4, in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, increasing CXCR4 and decreasing CCR5 expression in primary CD4(+) T-lymphocytes. In addition, IL-4 stimulates the expression of all HIV-1 isolates via a transcriptional activation mechanism. The combination of these effects results in increased propagation of CXCR4-using and inhibition of CCR5-using HIV-1 strains. IL-4 also activates HIV-1 expression in primary monocytes/macrophages but does not affect CCR5 expression. These results identify IL-4 as an important regulator of HIV-1 and suggest a critical role for this cytokine in the control of viral evolution and in the phenotypic switch from non-syncytia-inducing to syncytia-inducing, which leads to accelerated disease progression.
