HIV fusion and entry into CD4 T cells are mediated by two receptors, CD4 and CXCR4. This receptor requirement can be abrogated by pseudotyping the virion with the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) that mediates viral entry through endocytosis. The VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV is highly infectious for transformed cells, although the virus circumvents the viral receptors and the actin cortex. In HIV infection, gp120 binding to the receptors also transduces signals. Recently, we demonstrated a unique requirement for CXCR4 signaling in HIV latent infection of blood resting CD4 T cells. Thus, we performed parallel studies in which the VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV was used to infect both transformed and resting T cells in the absence of coreceptor signaling. Our results indicate that in transformed T cells, the VSV-G-pseudotyping results in lower viral DNA synthesis but a higher rate of nuclear migration. However, in resting CD4 T cells, only the HIV envelope-mediated entry, but not the VSV-G-mediated endocytosis, can lead to viral DNA synthesis and nuclear migration. The viral particles entering through the endocytotic pathway were destroyed within 1–2 days. These results indicate that the VSV-G-mediated endocytotic pathway, although active in transformed cells, is defective and is not a pathway that can establish HIV latent infection of primary resting T cells. Our results highlight the importance of the genuine HIV envelope and its signaling capacity in the latent infection of blood resting T cells. These results also call for caution on the endocytotic entry model of HIV-1, and on data interpretation where the VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV was used for identifying HIV restriction factors in resting T cells. While receptor-mediated viral endocytosis or fusion with the cell membrane can be achieved through multiple surface molecules, the repetitious selection of two chemokine receptors, CCR5 or CXCR4, as the main HIV entry coreceptor implies an urgent viral need to exploit the chemotactic process in the immune system. Cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell migration are the primary consequences of chemotactic signaling. Nevertheless, previously published data demonstrated that depriving the virus of its signaling ability conferred higher infectivity through VSV-G-mediated endocytotic entry in transformed cells. We revisited the issue of chemokine coreceptor signaling and the role of cortical actin in HIV-1 latent infection of resting CD4 T cells, in which the virus can establish latency with a potential for productive replication upon T cell activation. Our results confirmed that only the genuine HIV-1 envelope protein, but not VSV-G, is capable of mediating latent infection of resting CD4 T cells. These findings highlight the importance of the HIV envelope and its signaling capacity in HIV infection of its natural target cells.
