SIVagm coevolutions lead to altered epigenetic control of CD4 expression [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: African green monkeys (AGMs) are natural hosts of Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) that post-thymically down-regulate CD4 to maintain a large population of CD4-CD8aa+ virus-resistant cells with T-helper functionality. AGMs can become aviremic and seemingly cured of SIV by down-regulating CD4 in all CD4+ T cells in vivo. To understand the mechanisms of this process we performed genome-wide transcriptional analysis on T cells induced to down-regulate CD4 in vitro from AGMs and closely-related Patas monkeys, and T cells that maintain CD4 expression from rhesus macaques. In cells that down-regulated CD4, pathway analysis of genes common to AGM and Patas natural hosts yet unique from divided rhesus CD4+ T cells revealed an atypical regulation of the DNA methylation machinery, which de-repressed CD4 expression when pharmacologically targeted with 5-aza-2 deoxycytidine. This signature was driven largely by the dioxygenase TET3 that became down-regulated with loss of CD4 expression. CpG motifs within the AGM CD4 promoter region became methylated during CD4 downregulation in vitro and were stably imprinted in AGM CD4-CD8aa+ T cells sorted directly ex vivo. These results suggest AGMs employ epigenetic mechanisms to durably silence the CD4 gene. Manipulation of these mechanisms could provide avenues for modulating SIV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 entry receptor expression in hosts that become progressively SIV-infected, which could lead to novel therapeutic interventions aimed to reduce HIV viremia in vivo.

SIVagm coevolution leads to altered epigenetic control of CD4 expression [Bisulfite-seq]

Epigenetic reprogramming leads to down regulation of CD4 and functional changes in African green monkey memory CD4+ T cells

Project description:African green monkeys (AGMs) are a natural host for a lentivirus related to human immunodeficiency virus, simian immunodeficiency virus. SIV-infected AGM rarely progress to AIDS despite robust viral replication. Though multiple mechanisms are involved, a primary component is their ability to downregulate CD4 expression on mature helper CD4+ T cells, rendering these cells resistant to infection by SIV. These CD8aa+ T cells retain functional characteristics of helper CD4+ T cells while simultaneously aquiring abilities of cytoxic CD8ab+ T cells. To determine mechanisms underlying functional differences between T cell subsets in AGMs, chromatin accessibility in purified populations was determined by ATACseq. Differences in chromatin accessibility alone were sufficient to cluster cells by subtype, and acceesibility at the CD4 locus reflected changes in CD4 expression. DNA methylation at the CD4 locus also correlated with inaccessible chromatin. By associating accessible regions with nearby genes, gene expression was found to correlate with accessibility changes. T cell and immune system activation pathways were identified when comparing regions that changed accessibility from CD4+ T cells to CD8aa+ T cells. Different transcription factor binding sites are revealed as chromatin accessibility changes, and these differences may elicit downstream changes in differentiation. This comprehensive description of the epigenetic landscape of AGM T cells identified genes and pathways that could have translational value in therapeutic approaches recapitulating the protective effects CD4 downregulation.

Host response and dysfunction in the CNS during chronic simian immunodeficiency virus infection

Project description:Molecular basis for CNS dysfunction in simian immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus monkeys. We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in chronic simian immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus monkeys. Frontal lobe samples were obtained from control and SIV infected animals for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to better understand the gene that changes in gene expression with SIV infection in the frontal lobe.

Role of NKG2a/c + CD8 + T cells in pathogenic versus non-pathogenic SIV infections

Project description:Some viruses have established an equilibrium with their host. African green monkeys (AGM) display persistent high viral replication in blood and intestine during Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection but resolve systemic inflammation after acute infection and lack intestinal immune or tissue damage during chronic infection. We show that NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells increase in blood and intestine of AGM in response to SIVagm infection in contrast to SIVmac infection in macaques, the latter modeling HIV infection. NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells were not expanded in lymph nodes and CXCR5 + NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cell frequencies further decreased after SIV infection. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells from AGM revealed the expression of NK cell receptors, and of molecules with cytotoxic effector, gut homing, immunoregulatory and gut barrier function, including CD73. NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells correlated negatively with IL-23 in the intestine during SIVmac infection. The data suggest a potential regulatory role of NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells in intestinal inflammation during SIV/HIV infections.

Gene expression profile in CD4+ T-cell infection with a SIV mutant related to altered humoral immune responses

Project description:A mutant simian immunodeficiency (SIVmac239) virus, found to be selected within chronically SIV-infected Burmese rhesus monkeys with relatively enhanced SIV-specific antibody responses, was reconstituted as a molecular clone. The virus (SIV Nef G63E) was then subjected to a preliminary analysis for their intracellular signal transduction and gene expression modulation patterns (as compared with wild type SIVmac239) within infected CD4+ T cells. Analysis implicated that the mutant virus had a moderately enhanced cytopathic phenotype. A SIV mutation (SIVmac239 Nef G63E) found to be enriched in rhesus monkeys with enhanced SIV-specific antibody responses was reconstituted on a pBR-based SIV molecular clone pBRmac239. HSC-F cynomolgus macaque central memory Th2-like T cells were infected with mutant and wild type SIVmac239 at MOI 5 in triplicate along with uninfected controls (i.e. a total of 9 samples) for 24 hours and subjected to analysis of their gene expression patterns.

IL-21 and IFNalpha therapy rescues terminally-differentiated NK cells and limit SIV reservoir in ART-treated macaques [cohort3]

Project description:Unlike HIV infection, which progresses to AIDS absent suppressive anti-retroviral therapy (ART), nonpathogenic infections in natural hosts, such African green monkeys (AGMs), are characterized by a lack of gut microbial translocation and robust secondary lymphoid Natural Killer (NK) cell responses resulting in absence of chronic inflammation and limited SIV dissemination in lymph nodes (LN) B-cell-follicles, respectively. In a pathogenic infection model (i.e. ART-treated, SIVmac239-infected rhesus macaques; RMs), sequential Interleukin (IL)-21 and interferon (IFN)-alpha therapy generated terminally-differentiated blood NK cells (NKG2a/clowCD16+) with potent HLA-E-restricted activity in response to SIV-ENV peptides in contrast to control RMs, where less differentiated, IFN-gamma+ NK cells predominated. The frequency and cytolytic activity of NKG2a/clowCD16+ NK cells correlated with a reduction of replication-competent SIV in LN during ART and viral rebound delay following analytical treatment interruption. These data demonstrate that AGM-like NK cell differentiation profiles can be rescued in RMs to promote viral clearance in tissues.
