Recent studies suggest that human endogenous retrovirus group K (HERV-K) provirus
expression plays a role in the pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. In particular,
RNA from the HML-2 subgroup of HERV-K proviruses has been reported to be highly
expressed at the cellular level and detectable in the plasma of HIV-1-infected
patients, suggestive of virion production and, perhaps, replication. In this
study, we developed an HML-2-specific quantitative-PCR assay that detects 51 of
the 89 known HML-2 proviruses in the human genome. Plasma and peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from HIV-negative controls and HIV-1-infected patients
were collected for analysis of HML-2 RNA expression. Contrary to previous
reports, we did not detect high levels of HML-2 RNA in the plasma of
HIV-1-infected patients, but we did observe a significant increase of HML-2 RNA
in total PBMCs compared to HIV-negative controls. The level of HML-2 expression
in PBMCs does not appear to be related to patient use of antiretrovirals or to
HIV-1 plasma RNA, cellular RNA, or cellular DNA levels. To investigate the source
of HML-2 RNA expression, patient PBMCs were sorted into CD3+ CD4+, CD3+ CD8+,
CD3- CD14+, and CD3- CD20+ cell subsets and then analyzed for HML-2 RNA levels.
No single cell subset was enriched for HML-2 RNA expression in HIV-1-infected
patients, but there appears to be substantial variability in the level of HML-2
expression depending on the cell type. IMPORTANCE: Here, we report that human
endogenous retrovirus group K (HERV-K) (HML-2) proviruses are expressed at
significantly higher levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from
patients with HIV-1 infection than in those from uninfected individuals. However,
contrary to previous reports, this expression did not lead to detectable virions
in the plasma of these patients. In addition, we found that HML-2 proviruses were
expressed in multiple blood cell types from HIV-1-infected individuals, and the
magnitude of HML-2 expression was not related to HIV-1 disease markers in this
patient cohort. These findings may have implications for HML-2-based therapies
targeting HIV-1 infection.
