CD95(APO-1/Fas)-mediated apoptosis of bystander uninfected T cells exerts a major role in the HIV-1-mediated CD4+ T-cell depletion. HIV-1 gp120 has a key role in the induction of sensitivity of human lymphocytes to CD95-mediated apoptosis through its interaction with the CD4 receptor. Recently, we have shown the importance of CD95/ezrin/actin association in CD95-mediated apoptosis. In this study, we explored the hypothesis that the gp120-mediated CD4 engagement could be involved in the induction of susceptibility of primary human T lymphocytes to CD95-mediated apoptosis through ezrin phosphorylation and ezrin-to-CD95 association. Here, we show that gp120/IL-2 combined stimuli, as well as the direct CD4 triggering, on human primary CD4(+)T lymphocytes induced an early and stable ezrin activation through phosphorylation, consistent with the induction of ezrin/CD95 association and susceptibility to CD95-mediated apoptosis. Our results provide a new mechanism through which HIV-1-gp120 may predispose resting CD4(+)T cell to bystander CD95-mediated apoptosis and support the key role of ezrin/CD95 linkage in regulating susceptibility to CD95-mediated apoptosis.
