ABSTRACT: Temporal changes of the expression levels of the complete human transcriptome during the first 24 hours following infection of IFN-pre-treated macrophages. This approach has allowed us to identify genes involved in the IFN signaling that have an impact on HIV-1 infection of macrophages KEYWORDS: time course Purified primary macrophages were treated with 1000 IU/ml of IFNα2, for 18 hours before infection. Pre-treated macrophages were infected with the Bal strain of HIV-1 at an MOI of 1. Uninfected and untreated cells were used for control. Aliquots of cells (3x106 cells) were taken at 0,2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hrs after infection for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. *** No CEL file for Sample GSM757646 MDMs CTL at T0
Project description:HIV is able to outpace the innate immune response, including the response mediated by interferon (IFN), to establish a productive infection. However, monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) may be protected from HIV infection by treatment with type I IFN before virus exposure. The ability of HIV to modulate the type I IFN-mediated innate immune response when it encounters a cell that has already been exposed to IFN was investigated. To investigate the presence of HIV on an established IFN response, MDMs were subjected to four different conditions: (1) IFN-treated only, (2) IFN-treated followed by HIV infection, (3) HIV infected only, and (4) a mock-treated and mock-infected control. Microarray gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 24 samples derived from the 4 conditions assessed at 3 time points (1, 4 and 8 days following treatment/infection) for both IFN-α2 or -ω. Initially, ISGs were identified as those that were upregulated greater than 2-fold by IFN alone (condition 1) at both Days 4 and 8. Then, the IFN-treated condition was compared to the IFN-treated followed by HIV-infection condition in order to identify those ISGs that were downregulated at least 1.5-fold by the presence of HIV at both days. Assuming that it would be counterproductive for HIV infection by itself to induce the expression of ISGs with putative anti-HIV effects, those ISGs that were upregulated greater than 2-fold in the HIV control were removed. Finally, ISGs that passed these filters and were concordant with both IFN-treatments (IFN-α2 and -ω) were identified and corresponded to the following 8 ISGs: AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL), interferon-alpha inducible protein 27 (IFI27), interferon-induced protein 44 (IFI44), interferon-induced protein 44-like (IFI44L), ISG15, OAS1, OAS3 and XIAP associated factor 1 (XAF1). It should be noted that the IFN-α2 and -ω microarray experiments were performed in different batches but batch effects were not corrected since genes were identified by the filtering approach just described within each batch.

Project description:We performed gene expression analysis using Affymetrix U133Plus2 microarray chips on cultures of infected human cells. To mimic an in vivo infection, we infected human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in vitro with wild-type L. chagasi parasites and then co-cultured those infected MDMs with naive, autologous T-cells.
Project description:Macrophages play a crucial role in HIV-1 pathogenesis. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are fundamental for innate and adaptive immune responses, but their role in HIV-1 infection is still incompletely understood. The TLR3 and TLR4 ligands poly(I:C) and LPS are known to modulate HIV-1 infection of and replication in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), but the mechanism is incompletely understood. We found that MDMs stimulation with poly(I:C) or LPS abrogated infection by CCR5-using, macrophage-tropic HIV-1, or by VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV-1 virions, while TLR7 and TLR9 agonists Imiquimod and CpG only reduced infection to varying extent. Suppression of infection, or lack thereof, did not correlate with differential effects on CD4 or CCR5 expression, type I interferon induction, or production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, integrated pro-viruses were readily detected in unstimulated, TLR7- and TLR9-stimulated cells, but not in TLR3- or TLR4-stimulated MDMs, suggesting the alteration of post-entry, pre-integration event(s). MicroRNA (miRNA) microarray and real time PCR demonstrated increased miR-155 levels in MDMs upon TLR3/4, but not TLR7, stimulation, and a miR-155 inhibitor partially restored infectivity in poly(I:C)-stimulated MDMs. Finally, miR-155 over-expression in MDMs and cell lines remarkably diminished HIV-1 infection, inducing an accumulation of late reverse transcription products, concurrently with a decrease in mRNA levels of several HIV-1 dependency factors involved in nuclear import of pre-integration complexes. Our results suggest that miR-155 may target mRNA(s) for host cell protein(s) that either participate in or facilitate post-entry, pre-integration events, resulting in severely diminished HIV-1 infection. miRNA profiles were investigated in total RNA isolated from unstimulated and TLR3-, TLR4- and TLR7-stimulated human MDMs from a single normal donor
Project description:HIV-1 Vpr protein is a multifunctional protein which perturbs human transcriptome and interacts with a number of cellular proteins. In this study, we have attempted to explore the efffects of Vpr on human transcriptome and have identified several genes which are involved in innate immune respone and cell signaling pathways. We used the microarray analysis to elucidate the differnetail expression pattern of differnet genes in human macrophages infected with HIV-1 Vpr. As result we found that HIV-1 Vpr protein leads to the induction of various interferon stimualted genes (ISGs) and chemokines in human macrophages. Human monocytes-derived macrophages (MDMs) were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from two healthy donors and were infected with recombinant adenoviruses either expressing HIV-1 Vpr or ZsGreen1 as a control. At 48 hours post-infection, RNA was isolated and subjected to microarray analysis.
Project description:HIV establishes long-term latent infection in memory CD4+ T cells, but also establishes sustained long-term productive infection in macrophages, especially in the CNS. To better understand how HIV sustains infection in macrophages, we performed RNAseq analysis after infection of human-monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) with the brain-derived HIV-1 strain YU2 and compared this with acute infection of CD4+ T cells. HIV infection in MDM and CD4+ T-cells altered many gene transcripts, but with few overlaps between these different cell types. We found interferon pathways upregulated in both MDM and CD4+ T-cells, but with different gene signatures. The interferon-stimulated gene RSAD2/Viperin was among the most upregulated genes following HIV infection in MDMs, but not in CD4+ T-cells. RSAD2/Viperin was induced early after infection with various HIV strains, was sustained over time, and remained elevated in established MDM infection even if new rounds of infection were blocked by antiretroviral treatment. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that RSAD2/Viperin was induced strongly in HIV infected cells, as well as in some uninfected neighboring cells, and was frequently localized at junctions between cells. Knockdown of RSAD2/Viperin following establishment of infection in MDMs reduced production of HIV transcripts and viral p24 antigen. This correlated with reduction in the number of multinucleated giant cells, and changes in the histone modifications at the HIV LTR, including loss of histone H3K7ac and H3K9me3, epigenetic marks that we have found associated with HIV in MDMs. RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of RSAD2/Viperin knockdown during HIV infection of MDMs revealed activation of interferon alpha and gamma pathways and inactivation of Rho GTPase pathways. Taken together, these results suggest that RSAD2/Viperin supports HIV infection in macrophages through multiple mechanisms, potentially including the attenuation of the interferon response.
Project description:Interferon ε (IFNε) is a unique type I IFN that is not induced by pattern-recognition response elements. IFNε is constitutively expressed in mucosal tissues including the female genital mucosa. We show here that IFNε induces an antiviral state in human macrophages that blocks HIV-1 replication. In this work, we examined effects and underlying mechanisms of IFNε in HIV infection of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). We found that IFNε blocked HIV replication in macrophages. It acted on early stages of the HIV life cycle including entry and reverse transcription. It did not appear to operate through known IFN-induced HIV host restriction factors. IFNε induced immune responses in primary macrophages distinct from those induced by IFNα. Importantly, we discovered a novel protective effect of IFNε in primary macrophages against HIV by surging reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Project description:Analysis of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in various primary cells and immortalized cell lines, following type 1 interferon (IFN) treatment. Some cell types become resistant to HIV-1 infection following type 1 interferon treatment (such as macrophages, THP-1, PMA-THP-1, U87-MG cells and to a lesser extent, primary CD4+ T cells) while others either become only partially resistant (e.g., HT1080, PMA-U937) or remain permissive (e.g., CEM, CEM-SS, Jurkat T cell lines and U937); for more information see (Goujon and Malim, Journal of Virology 2010) and (Goujon and Schaller et al., Retrovirology 2013). We hypothesized that the anti-HIV-1 ISGs are differentially induced and expressed in restrictive cells compared to permissive cells and performed a whole genome analysis following type 1 IFN treatment in cell types exhibiting different HIV-1 resistance phenotypes. 48 samples; design: 9 cell lines, primary CD4+ T cells and primary macrophages, untreated and IFN-treated; 2 replicate experiments per cell line; 3 replicate experiments per primary cell type
