Proteolytic processing of the abundant plasmatic human CC chemokine 1 (HCC-1) generates a truncated form, HCC-1[9-74], which is a potent agonist of CCR1, CCR3, and CCR5; promotes calcium influx and chemotaxis of T lymphoblasts, monocytes, and eosinophils; and inhibits infection by CCR5-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates. In the present study we demonstrate that HCC-1[9-74] interacts with the second external loop of CCR5 and inhibits replication of CCR5-tropic HIV-1 strains in both primary T cells and monocyte-derived macrophages. Low concentrations of the chemokine, however, frequently enhanced the replication of CCR5-tropic HIV-1 isolates but not the replication of X4-tropic HIV-1 isolates. Only HCC-1[9-74] and HCC-1[10-74], but not other HCC-1 length variants, displayed potent anti-HIV-1 activities. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis revealed that HCC-1[9-74] caused up to 75% down-regulation of CCR5 cell surface expression, whereas RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) achieved a reduction of only about 40%. Studies performed with green fluorescent protein-tagged CCR5 confirmed that both HCC-1[9-74] and RANTES, but not full-length HCC-1, mediated specific internalization of the CCR5 HIV-1 entry cofactor. Our results demonstrate that the interaction with HCC-1[9-74] causes effective intracellular sequestration of CCR5, but they also indicate that the effect of HCC-1[9-74] on viral replication is subject to marked cell donor- and HIV-1 isolate-dependent variations.
