High circulating SDF-1 and MCP-1 levels and genetic variations in CXCL12, CCL2 and CCR5: Prognostic signature of immune recovery status in treated HIV-positive patients
Background: The underlying mechanisms of incomplete immune reconstitution in treated HIV-positive patients are very complex and may be multifactorial, but perturbation of chemokine secretion could play a key role in CD4(+) T-cell turnover. Methods: We evaluated the circulating baseline and 48-week f...

| Summary: | Background: The underlying mechanisms of incomplete immune reconstitution in treated HIV-positive patients are very complex and may be multifactorial, but perturbation of chemokine secretion could play a key role in CD4(+) T-cell turnover. Methods: We evaluated the circulating baseline and 48-week follow-up concentrations of SDF-1/CXCL12, fractal-kine/CX3CL1, MCP-1/CCL2, MIP-alpha/CCL3, MIP-beta/CCL4 and RANTES/CCL5, and we estimated their association with CXCL12, CX3CR1, CCR2, CCL5 and CCR5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to investigate multiple chemokine-chemokine receptor signatures associated with immune dysregulation preceding poor immune recovery. Findings: The circulating concentrations and gene expression patterns of SDF-1/CXCL12 (CXCL12 rs1801157) and MCP-1/CCL2 (CCR2 rs1799864_814) were associated with immune recovery status. CCR2 rs1799864_814 and CCR5 rs333_814 (032) determine the baseline plasma RANTES and MIP-alpha concentrations, respectively, in participants with poor immune response. Interpretation: SDF-1/CXCL12 and MCP-1/CCL2 could be considered prognostic markers of immune failure despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy. The strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) between CCR2 rs1799864_814 and CCR5 rs1800024 indicated that the alleles of each gene are inherited together more often than would be expected by chance.
