Human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1) persistence is a major barrier to the successful treatment and eradication of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS).In addition to resting CD4+ T cells,a significant long-lived compartment of HIV-1 infection in vivo includes blood monocytes and tissue macrophages.Studying HIV-1 persistence in monocyte-lineage cells is critical because these cells are important HIV-1 target cells in vivo.Monocyte-lineage cells,including monocytes,dendritic cells(DCs) and macrophages,play a significant role in HIV-1 infection and transmission.These cells have been implicated as viral reservoirs that facilitate HIV-1 latency and persistence.A better understanding of HIV-1 interactions with monocyte-lineage cells can potentially aid in the development of new approaches for intervention.This minireview highlights the latest advances in understanding the role of monocyte-lineage cells in HIV-1 persistence and emphasizes new insights into the mechanisms underlying viral persistence.
