Programmed Death-1 (PD-1), a member of T cell costimulatory molecules is expressed in high levels on antigen specific T cells during chronic viral infection, whereas PD-1 expression in the context of HIV-1 infected CD4+ T cells is not known. Here we report that productively infected CD4+ T cells lose PD-1, whereas bystander cells were unaffected. Additionally, p24+/PD-1 negative cells are less susceptible to apoptosis compared to bystander cells in the same infected milieu. Similar results were observed in vivo, as infected T cells isolated from HIV-1+ individuals have significantly low level of PD-1 and the observed loss of PD-1 in vivo is independent of viral load, CD4 count, and/or antiviral treatment. Together these results indicate that productively infected cells are resistant to early apoptosis by downregulating PD-1, whereas PD-1 enhances the susceptibility of effector T cells to apoptosis suggesting a dual role for PD-1 during HIV-1 infection.
