Abstract

The pathogenic mechanisms underlying the depressed hematopoietic functions seen in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals were explored in rhesus monkeys infected with the simian immunodeficiency virus of macaques (SIVmac). Bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation, both granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) and erythrocyte (BFU-E), was shown to be decreased in number in SIVmac-infected rhesus monkeys. SIVmac was readily isolated from bone marrow cells of infected monkeys and was shown to be harbored in macrophages rather than T lymphocytes. The in vitro infection of normal bone marrow cells by SIVmac inhibited colony formation. A striking in vivo correlation between increased SIVmac load in bone marrow cells and decreased hematopoietic progenitor cell colony growth was also shown. Finally, inhibition of SIVmac replication in bone marrow macrophages resulted in increased progenitor cell colony growth from bone marrow cells. These results suggest that the infection of bone marrow macrophages by the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus may contribute to depressed bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cell growth. Moreover, inhibition of AIDS virus replication in these macrophages might induce significant improvement in hematopoietic function.
