Bst-2/Tetherin inhibits the release of HIV by tethering newly formed virus particles to the plasma membrane of infected cells. Although the mechanisms of Tetherin-mediated restriction are increasingly well understood, the biological relevance of this restriction in the natural target cells of HIV is unclear. Moreover, whether Tetherin exerts any restriction on the direct cell-cell spread of HIV across intercellular contacts remains controversial. Here we analyse the restriction endogenous Tetherin imposes on HIV transmission from primary human macrophages, one of the main targets of HIV in vivo. We find that the mRNA and protein levels of Tetherin in macrophages are comparable to those in T cells from the same donors, and are highly upregulated by type I interferons. Improved immunocytochemistry protocols enable us to demonstrate that Tetherin localises to the cell surface, the trans-Golgi network, and the macrophage HIV assembly compartments. Tetherin retains budded virions in the assembly compartments, thereby impeding the release and cell-free spread of HIV, but it is not required for the maintenance of these compartments per se. Notably, using a novel assay to quantify cell-cell spread, we show that Tetherin promotes the transfer of virus clusters from macrophages to T cells and thereby restricts the direct transmission of a dual-tropic HIV-1. Kinetic analyses provide support for the notion that this direct macrophage-T cell spread is mediated, at least in part, by so-called virological synapses. Finally, we demonstrate that the viral Vpu protein efficiently downregulates the cell surface and overall levels of Tetherin, and thereby abrogates this HIV restriction in macrophages. Together, our study shows that Tetherin, one of the most potent HIV restriction factors identified to date, can inhibit virus spread from primary macrophages, regardless of the mode of transmission. Tetherin is a cellular protein that inhibits (or restricts) a broad range of enveloped viruses, including HIV, by physically “tethering” nascent particles to the plasma membrane of infected cells. CD4+ T cells and macrophages are the main targets of HIV in vivo, and both cell types express Tetherin. Although the mechanisms of Tetherin-mediated restriction in model cell lines and T cells are increasingly well understood, experimental data from macrophages are sparse, and partially contradict observations made in other cell types. Here we investigate the sensitivity of Tetherin expression to interferon, and the subcellular localisation of the restriction factor in primary human macrophages. We find that Tetherin inhibits HIV release by retaining nascent particles in macrophage HIV assembly compartments, and can also restrict the transmission of HIV across intercellular contacts between macrophages and T cells. Finally, we demonstrate that the HIV protein Vpu efficiently counteracts Tetherin in macrophages, and thereby ensures viral propagation. Our results, together with other published data, show that Tetherin can efficiently inhibit viral replication in both major target cell types of HIV, regardless of the mode of transmission. These data support the view that efficient counteraction of Tetherin was a crucial factor for the global spread of HIV.
