Decreased levels of TNF-beta in cultured PBLs from HIV+ patients occur concomitantly to increased apoptosis and impaired PWM-induced proliferation and dehydrogenase activity.

Abstract:

:The occurrence of apoptosis in cultured blood cells from HIV+ patients is well-documented. However, the relationship of this process to cytokine production is still undefined. We measured the production of TNF-beta by mitogen-stimulated PBLs from 33 HIV+ patients, while simultaneously assessing their development of apoptosis, dehydrogenase activity and proliferative responses to PWM and PHA; Only 3/33 patients had less than 30% apoptosis in PWM cultures (average value = 19.6%); patients were grouped in accordance with their having low (31-40%; average 34.8%), intermediate (41-50%, average 45.7%) or high levels (over 51%, average 53.6%) of apoptosis. Our results indicate that there is a quantitative correlation between the different degrees of apoptosis and the impaired production of TNF-beta, and support the hypothesis that PBLs from all HIV+ patients have defective immunological functions. In addition, our results show that TNF-beta production correlates with a stage classification of patients which reflects their PBL status of apoptosis, proliferative response to PWM and dehydrogenase activity in vitro.
