Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are severely depleted during chronic HIV-1 infection by unclear mechanisms. We report here that human ILC1s comprising of CD4+ and CD4- subpopulations were present in various human lymphoid organs but with different transcription programs and functions. Importantly, CD4+ ILC1s expressed HIV-1 co-receptors and were productively infected by HIV-1 in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, chronic HIV-1 infection activated and depleted both CD4+ and CD4- ILC1s, and impaired their cytokine production activity. Highly active antiretroviral (HAART) therapy in HIV-1 patients efficiently rescued the ILC1 numbers and reduced their activation, but failed to restore their functionality. We also found that blocking type-I interferon (IFN-I) signaling during HIV-1 infection in vivo in humanized mice prevented HIV-1 induced depletion or apoptosis of ILC1 cells. Therefore, we have identified the CD4+ ILC1 cells as a new target population for HIV-1 infection, and revealed that IFN-I contributes to the depletion of ILC1s during HIV-1 infection. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), including ILC1, ILC2 and ILC3 populations, represent a novel cellular family of the immune system and have potentials to produce large amounts of T cell-associated cytokines in response to innate stimulation in the absence of specific antigen stimulation. ILCs have emerged as central players in homeostatic and inflammatory conditions, and correlated with the pathogenesis and progression of multiple human diseases. It is reported that ILCs are depleted in HIV-1 infected patients. However, it is not clear whether HIV-1 can infect ILCs and how ILCs are depleted during HIV-1 infection. Here, we find that ILC1s consist CD4+ and CD4- subsets and both are present in various human lymphoid organs. We show that HIV-1 can directly infect CD4+ ILC1s. HIV-1 infection leads to activation, depletion and functional impairment of ILC1s in humans and in humanized mice in vivo. Blocking IFN-I signaling prevents HIV-1-induced apoptosis of ILC1s both in vitro and in humanized mice in vivo. Our study reveals the CD4+ ILC1 population as a new target for HIV-1 infection and identifies an IFN-I mediated mechanism of ILC1 depletion during chronic HIV-1 infection.
