Pigtail macaques (PTM) rapidly progress to AIDS after SIV infection. Given the strong association between HIV/SIV disease progression and microbial translocation and immune activation, we assessed whether high basal levels of immune activation and microbial translocation exist in PTM. We found that prior to SIV infection, PTM had high levels of microbial translocation that correlated with significant damage to the structural barrier of the GI tract. Moreover, this increased microbial translocation correlated with high levels of immune activation and was associated with high frequencies of IL-17-producing T cells. These data highlight the relationship between mucosal damage, microbial translocation and systemic immune activation in the absence of HIV/SIV replication and underscore the importance of microbial translocation in the rapid course of disease progression in SIV-infected PTM. Furthermore, these data suggest that PTM may be an ideal model to study therapeutic interventions aimed at decreasing microbial translocation-induced immune activation.
