In HIV-1-infected individuals, Fas expression and Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis of mature T cells are known to increase compared with those in normal individuals. To elucidate a relation between acute HIV-1 infection and the regulation of Fas/FasL system upon T-cell activation, resting CD4+ T cells were acutely infected or uninfected with HIV-1 and subsequently activated by phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin (PMA/IM). Four days after infection, when HIV-1 env gp120 is expressed in more than one half of activated T cells, Fas/FasL expression was analyzed by flow cytometry, and apoptosis-inducing activity of these activated primary CD4+ T cells on Fas+ Jurkat cells was examined. The level of Fas or FasL expression was not altered during acute HIV-1 infection. The enhanced apoptosis-inducing activity upon HIV-1 infection was observed in some individuals, but its activity was not Fas/FasL-mediated. These results indicate that HIV-1 infection is not necessarily associated with either upregulation of Fas/FasL expression or Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis.
