Résumé

Macrophages are a major target of HIV-1 infection. HIV-1–infected macrophages form multinucleated giant cells (MGCs) using poorly elucidated mechanisms. In this study, we show that MGC formation was reduced when human macrophages were infected with nef-deleted HIV-1. Moreover, expression of Nef, an HIV-1 protein required in several aspects of AIDS, was sufficient to trigger the formation of MGCs in RAW264.7 macrophages. Among Nef molecular determinants, myristoylation was dispensable, whereas the polyproline motif was instrumental for this phenomenon. Nef has been shown to activate hematopoietic cell kinase (Hck), a Src tyrosine kinase specifically expressed in phagocytes, through a well-described polyproline–SH3 interaction. Knockdown approaches showed that Hck is involved in Nef-induced MGC formation. Hck is expressed as two isoforms located in distinct subcellular compartments. Although both isoforms were activated by Nef, only p61Hck mediated the effect of Nef on macrophage fusion. This process was abolished in the presence of a p61Hck kinase-dead mutant or when p61Hck was redirected from the lysosome membrane to the cytosol. Finally, lysosomal proteins including vacuolar adenosine triphosphatase and proteases participated in Nef-induced giant macrophage formation. We conclude that Nef participates in HIV-1–induced MGC formation via a p61Hck- and lysosomal enzyme-dependent pathway. This work identifies for the first time actors of HIV-1–induced macrophage fusion, leading to the formation of MGCs commonly found in several organs of AIDS patients.
