The PBj14 isolate of simian immunodeficiency virus, SIVsmmPBj14, is an acutely pathogenic lentivirus that causes severe gastrointestinal disease in macaque monkeys. The studies reported here examine the basis for the enteropathic phenotype of SIVsmmPBj14, using flow cytometric analysis of cultured macaque lymphocytes and immunohistochemical staining of tissue specimens from virus-infected macaques. The data show that enteropathic molecular clones of SIVsmmPBj14induce expression of the αEβ7integrin, which is believed to mediate mucosal retention of T-cells, whereas molecular clones from nonenteropathic derivatives of SIVsmmPBj14do not do so. Thus, elevated expression of αEβ7may be responsible, at least in part, for the accumulation of abnormally large numbers of T-cells within the intestinal mucosa during acute SIVsmmPBj14infection.
