Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are innate immune cells that sense viral nucleic acids through endosomal Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/9 to produce type I interferon (IFN) and to differentiate into potent antigen presenting cells (APC). Engagement of TLR7/9 in early endosomes appears to trigger the IRF7 pathway for IFN production whereas engagement in lysosomes seems to trigger the NF-κB pathway for maturation into APC. We showed previously that HIV-1 (HIV) localizes predominantly to early endosomes, not lysosomes, and mainly stimulate IRF7 rather than NF-κB signaling pathways in pDC. This divergent signaling may contribute to disease progression through production of pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory IFN and inadequate maturation of pDCs. We now demonstrate that HIV virions may be re-directed to lysosomes for NF-κB signaling by either pseudotyping HIV with influenza hemagglutinin envelope or modification of CD4 mediated-intracellular trafficking. These data suggest that HIV envelope-CD4 receptor interactions drive pDC activation toward an immature IFN producing phenotype rather than differentiation into a mature dendritic cell phenotype. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are innate immune cells that are specialized to produce type I interferon (IFN) and to activate adaptive immune responses. Although IFN is an anti-viral cytokine, it may contribute more to pathogenesis than to protection during chronic viral infections, including chronic HIV infection. pDC sense HIV to produce abundant IFN but minimal NF- κB–dependent production of TNFα and minimal up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules, suggesting that HIV promotes pDC to become interferon producing cells (IPC) rather than antigen presenting cells (APC). Here, we use florescent HIV virions pseudotyped with influenza hemagglutinin (HA) envelope and a cell system expressing CD4 molecules with modified intracellular trafficking. We found that HIV virions pseudotyped with HA stimulate pDC to mature, similar to influenza-stimulated pDC, and traffic intracellularly similarly to influenza. We also find that CD4-mediated intracellular trafficking guides HIV trafficking and downstream signaling. Our study presents new and important findings which demonstrate that divergent HIV sensing by pDC to produce IFN, rather than to become mature antigen presenting cells, is mediated specifically by CD4-HIV envelope interactions.
