Although quiescent in normal brain, reactive astrocytes can proliferate in various disorders. We examined the impact of HIV-1 on astrocyte proliferation in cultures exposed to VSVg env-pseudotyped HIV-1 which yields high levels of infection. HIV-1, while increasing the proliferation of uninfected (p24-) astrocytes, strongly inhibited proliferation of productively infected (p24+) cells. The cell cycle arrest was G1/S rather than G2/M, a type commonly attributed to Vpr. No clear role of Vpr or Nef could be identified. Adenovirus-mediated expression of Nef (a model of "restricted" infection) induced M-phase arrest of astrocytes. We speculate that HIV-1 is a significant modulator of astrocyte proliferation in vivo.
