In the lung, PDGFR\u03b2+ mesenchymal cells known as pericytes intimately associate with endothelial cells and are key for their survival both structurally and through the secretion of prosurvival factors. We hypothesize that in HIV infection there are functional changes in pericytes that may lead to destabilization of the microvasculature and ultimately to pulmonary abnormalities. Our objective in this study was to determine whether lung pericytes could be directly infected with HIV. We leveraged lung samples from macaque lungs with or without SIV infection and normal human lung for in vitro experiments. Pericytes were isolated based on the marker platelet-derived growth factor receptor-\u03b2 (PDGFR\u03b2). We determined that lung PDGFR\u03b2-positive (PDGFR\u03b2+) pericytes from both macaques and humans express CD4, the primary receptor for SIV\/HIV, as well as the major coreceptors CXCR4 and CCR5. We found cells positive for both PDGFR\u03b2 and SIV in lungs from infected macaques. Lung pericytes isolated from these animals also harbored detectable SIV. To confirm relevance to human disease, we demonstrated that human lung pericytes are capable of being productively infected by HIV in vitro, with the time course of infection suggesting development of viral latency. In summary, we show for the first time that SIV\/HIV directly infects lung pericytes, implicating these cells as a novel target and potential reservoir for the virus in vivo.
