HIV-1 infection of CD4 T cells impairs antigen-specific B cell function

ABSTRACT: Failures to produce neutralizing antibodies upon HIV-1 infection result in part from B cell dysfunction due to unspecific B cell activation. How HIV-1 affects antigen-specific B cell functions remains elusive. Using an adoptive transfer mouse model and ex vivo HIV infection of human tonsil tissue we found that expression of the HIV-1 pathogenesis factor NEF in CD4 T cells undermines their helper function and impairs cognate B cell functions including mounting of efficient specific IgG responses. NEF interfered with T cell help via a specific protein interaction motif that prevents polarized cytokine secretion at the T cell - B cell immune synapse. This interference reduced B cell activation and proliferation and thus disrupted germinal center formation and affinity maturation. These results identify NEF as a key component for HIV-mediated dysfunction of antigen-specific B cells. Therapeutic targeting of the identified molecular surface in NEF will facilitate host control of HIV infection. We used microarray analysis to understand

Gene expression profiling of CD4+ T cell line due to presence of Nef during HIV-1 infection.

Project description:We have utilized microarray technology to compare gene expression profile in presence or absence of Nef during HIV-1 infection in T cell-line. We found several genes significantly differentially regulated due to ∆nef HIV-1 infection and WT HIV-1 infection when compared to Uninfected cells and also several genes significantly dergulated due to WT HIV-1 infection as compared to ∆nef HIV-1 infection. We redistributed genes belonging to several gene ontology into broad categories like “signaling”, “apoptosis”, “transcription” and “lipid metabolism”. We selected some lipid metabolism genes to validate the Nef directed differential expression using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Thus the present work highlights the importance of Nef directed differential gene expression in milieu of other viral proteins present during infection.

HIV-1 Nef changes the proteome of T cells extracellular vesicles

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are biomolecule carriers for intercellular communication in health and disease. Nef is a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virulence factor that is released from cells within EVs and is present in plasma EVs of HIV-1 infected individuals. We performed a quantitative proteomic analysis to fully characterize the Nef-induced changes in protein composition of T cell-derived EVs and identify novel host targets of HIV. Several proteins with well-described roles in infection or not previously associated with HIV pathogenesis were specifically modulated by Nef in EVs. Among the downregulated proteins are the interferon-induced transmembrane 1, 2 and 3 proteins (IFITM1-3), broad-spectrum antiviral factors known to be cell-to-cell transferable by EVs. Our data establish Nef as a modulator of EVs' global protein content and as an HIV factor that antagonizes IFITMs.

Probe to gene expressions in HIV infected CD4 T cells in the presence of CDK, caspase inhibitors and Nef

Project description:HIV-1 infection selectively alters gene expressions of CD4 T cells. To understand the effects of HIV to the expressions of CDK and caspase pathway genes in the presence and absence of Nef, we infected CD8-depleted PBMC from healthy donors with HIV-1 BAL in the presence of BB-94, PD-0332991, QVD-OPH or DMSO control, or with Nef-sufficient, Nef-deficient Vpu-sufficient, Vpu-deficient NL4-3 strain of HIV-1. On day 6 of infection, cells were enriched for CD4 T cells for gene expression profile analyses by RNA sequencing. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 16 different treated CD4 T cells.

Nef-mediated downmodulation of CD3 dampens immune activation and is critical for maintenance of high virus loads in SIV-infected macaques

Project description:The inability of Nef to downmodulate the T cell receptor CD3 distinguishes HIV-1 from most other primate lentiviruses and may contribute to its high virulence. However, the role of this Nef function in viral immune evasion and pathogenicity remained speculative. Here, we selectively disrupted this Nef activity in SIVmac239 and analyzed the consequences for the virological, immunological and clinical outcome of infection in rhesus macaques. The inability to downmodulate CD3 did not affect viral replication during acute infection but was associated with increased immune activation and antiviral gene expression. Thus, Nef-mediated downmodulation of CD3 dampens the inflammatory response to SIV infection and is critical for viral immune evasion.

Transcription profiling by array of human CD4+ T-lymphocytes infected with VSVG-pseudotyped HIV-1 viruses lacking Env, Vpr, and Nef

Project description:The high mutation rate of HIV is linked to the generation of viruses expressing proteins with altered function whose impact on disease progression is unknown. We investigated the effects of HIV-1 viruses lacking Env, Vpr and Nef on CD4+ T cell gene expression using high-density DNA microarray analysis and functional assays. Experiment Overall Design: Human activated CD4+ T-lymphocytes from three independent donors were infected with HIV-1 viruses that lack Env and Nef (pNL4-3.eGFP.R+E- or HIVD2GFP) or Env, Vpr and Nef. (pNL4-3.eGFP.R-E- or HIVD3GFP) were pseudotyped with VSVG envelope. As a control, CD4+ T-lymphocytes were infected with VSVG-pseudotyped eGFP. CD4+ T-cells were sorted 48 hours after infection using GFP as a marker of infectivity. RNA was isolated 10 hours after sorting, labeled, and prepared for microarray analysis.

Nef dimerization defect abrogates HIV viremia and associated immune dysregulation in the Bone Marrow-Liver-Thymus-Spleen (BLTS) humanized mouse model.

Project description:Loss of function mutations in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative factor (Nef) gene are associated with reduced viremia, robust T cell immune response, and delayed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) progression in humans. Additionally, in vitro studies have shown that mutations in Nef's dimerization interface may play a significant role in modulating viral replication and impairing host defense. However, in vivo, mechanistic studies on the role of Nef dimerization in HIV infection are lacking. Humanized rodent models with human immune cells are robust platforms for investigating the interactions between HIV and the human immune system. We recently developed the bone marrow-liver-thymus-spleen (BLTS) humanized mouse model, which carries human immune cells, as well as primary and secondary lymphoid tissues that facilitate anti-viral immune responses. Here, we employed the BLTS-humanized mouse model to demonstrate that preventing Nef dimerization abrogates HIV viremia and the associated induction of immune dysregulation (immune activation and exhaustion). This suggests that Nef dimerization may be a therapeutic target for future HIV cure strategies, which can be explored in humanized mouse models.

Interplay between HIV-1 infection and host microRNAs

Project description:Using microRNA array analyses of in vitro HIV-1-infected CD4+ cells, we find that several host microRNAs are significantly up- or downregulated around the time HIV-1 infection peaks in vitro. While microRNA-223 levels were significantly enriched in HIV-1-infected CD4+CD8? PBMCs, microRNA-29a/b, microRNA-155 and microRNA-21 levels were significantly reduced. Based on the potential for microRNA binding sites in a conserved sequence of the Nef-3?-LTR, several host microRNAs potentially could affect HIV-1 gene expression. Among those microRNAs, the microRNA-29 family has seed complementarity in the HIV-1 3?-UTR, but the potential suppressive effect of microRNA-29 on HIV-1 is severely blocked by the secondary structure of the target region. Our data support a possible regulatory circuit at the peak of HIV-1 replication which involves downregulation of microRNA-29, expression of Nef, the apoptosis of host CD4 cells and upregulation of microRNA-223.

Gene expression in tonsil and oral epithelia

Project description:To study characteristics of the orapharyngeal epithelia which may influence susceptibility or resistance to HIV, we performed microarray analysis of the tonsil and gingival epithelium.Tonsil epithelium has been implicated in HIV pathogenesis, but its role in oral transmission remains controversial. We performed microarray analysis of Laser Capture Microdissected tonsil and gingival epithelium. Our data revealed that genes related to immune functions such as antibody production and antigen processing were increasingly expressed in tonsil compared to the epithelium of another oro-pharyngeal site, gingival epithelium. Importantly, tonsil epithelium highly expressed genes associated with HIV entrapment and/or transmission, including the HIV co-receptor CXCR4 and the potential HIV binding molecules, FcRγIII, complement receptor 2, and various complement components. This increased expression of molecules involved in viral recognition, binding and entry may favor virus-epithelium interaction in an environment with reduced innate anti-viral mechanisms. Specifically, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, an innate molecule with anti-HIV activity, was minimal in the tonsil epithelium, in contrast to oral mucosa. Collectively, our data suggest that increased expression of molecules associated with HIV binding and entry coupled with decreased innate anti-viral factors may render the tonsil a potential site for oral transmission.
