CAF-1 promotes HIV-1 latency by leading the formation of phase-separated suppressive nuclear bodies.

ABSTRACT: HIV-1 latency is a major obstacle to achieve a functional cure for AIDS. To eradicate the viral reservoir, one of the strategies is to specifically reactivate HIV-1-infected cells and followed by elimination with potent immune surveillance. However, present latency-reversing agents (LRAs) are quite dissatisfactory because of their high toxicity and low efficiency. New targets need to be identified to develop more promising LRAs. Here, we found that histone chaperone chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) promotes HIV-1 latency by forming versatile suppressive nuclear bodies. CAF-1 plays a leading role for the formation of bodies recruiting multi-layer suppressive epigenetic modifiers and maintainers, and is of the characteristic of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Three distinct disordered regions of CHAF1A subunit coalesce CAF-1 body components by forming LLPS and play a key in maintaining HIV-1 latency. Therefore, disruptive induction of phase-separated CAF-1 body could be an important strategy to reactivate latent HIV-1.

CBX4 contributes to HIV-1 latency by forming phase-separated nuclear bodies and SUMOylating EZH2

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 latency have been studied extensively to achieve a functional cure for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). To develop more promising latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to efficiently reactivate the latent reservoir which is subsequently eliminated by immune surveillance, new therapeutic targets need to be evaluated. Here, we found that the Polycomb group (PcG) protein CBX4 contributes to HIV-1 latency in many latency models and primary CD4+ T cells. CBX4 forms nuclear bodies with liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) properties on the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR). Further proteomics analysis revealed that CBX4 recruits EZH2 to CBX4 bodies and SUMOylates EZH2 utilizing its SUMO E3 ligase activity, which enhances the H3K27 methyltransferase activity of EZH2. Our results indicated that CBX4 bridges the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2, resulting in synergistically maintaining HIV-1 latency. Dissolution of phase-separated CBX4 bodies could be a potential intervention to reactivate latent HIV-1.

Memory CD4+ T cell subsets show differential responses to HIV latency reversing agents [LRA stimulated]

Project description:HIV-1 persists in individuals on ART in infected central (CM), transitional (TM) and effector memory (EM) CD4+ T cells. We developed LARA (latency and reversion assay), which facilitates the examination of HIV latency reversal in CM, TM and EM subsets in a single assay. Studies with latency reversing agents (LRAs) revealed responses specific to each subset, including compounds that significantly reversed latency in all subsets but with a range of efficiency (bryostatin) to those that demonstrated subset specificity (IL-15). Significantly, LARA has allowed the demonstration that EM cells display a more activated profile compared to CM, which translated to enhanced efficiency in responsiveness to multiple LRAs and allowed the identification of mechanisms associated with the compounds that reactivate latent HIV in all subsets. Understanding the responsiveness of memory CD4+ T cells subsets to LRAs will accelerate the development of anti-latency therapy to interfering with viral persistence in vivo.

Gliotoxin, identified from a screen of Aspergillus fumigatus metabolites, reverses HIV-1 latency via release of P-TEFb

Project description:A leading pharmacological strategy towards HIV cure requires “shock” or activation of expression of the HIV genome in latently infected cells with Latency Reversal Agents (LRAs) followed by their subsequent clearance. As a source of bio-active molecules we used fungal secondary metabolites (extrolites) in a screen for novel LRAs. We used orthogonal mass spectrometry (MS) coupled to latency reversal bioassays, and identified gliotoxin (GTX) to potently reverse latency. GTX significantly induced HIV-1 gene expression in latent ex vivo infected primary cells and in CD4+ T cells from all aviremic HIV-1+ participants. RNA sequencing identified 7SK RNA to be most significantly downregulated in independent donors upon GTX treatment of CD4+ T cells. GTX disrupted the 7SK snRNP complex causing release of P-TEFb, which induced phosphorylation of RNA Pol II CTD, and increased HIV transcription. Our data highlight the power of combining low throughput bioassays, mycology and orthogonal mass spectrometry as an approach to screen for and characterize novel LRAs.

A truncated HIV Tat demonstrates potent and specific latency reversal activity

Project description:The barrier to HIV-1 functional cure is caused by a small pool of latently infected resting CD4 T-cells that persist under antiretroviral therapy. Notably this latent reservoir of infected cells will produce replication-competent infectious virus once prolonged suppressive HAART is withdrawn. The reactivation of HIV-1 gene expression in T-cells harboring latent provirus in HIV-1 patients under HAART will likely result in depletion of this latent reservoir due to cytopathic effects and immune clearance. Many studies have investigated small molecules that reactivate HIV-1 gene expression but to date no latency reversal agent (LRA) has been identified to be specific, non-toxic, and effective in primary T-cells isolated from HIV-1 infected individuals undergoing long-term HAART. Stochastic fluctuations in HIV-1 tat gene expression have been attributed to be essential in the viral progression to latency. We hypothesized that exposing Tat to latently infected CD4 T-cells will result in potent latency reversal. Our results indicate the capacity of an engineered Tat to reactivate HIV-1 in latently infected cells from patients to a similar degree as the protein kinase C agonist PMA (Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate) while showing no T-cell activation nor any significant transcriptome perturbation in primary CD4 T-cells.

dCas9 targeted chromatin and histone enrichment for mass spectrometry (Catchet-MS) identifies IKZF1 as a novel target for HIV-1 latency reversal

Project description:HIV-1 infected patients virally suppressed by antiviral treatment harbor a persistent reservoir of replication competent latent HIV-1 infected cells, which constitute the main roadblock to a cure. A main strategy for HIV cure aims to stimulate viral gene expression in latently infected cells so that they can be cleared. Crucial for the design of drugs referred to as “latency-reversing agents” (LRAs) is the identification of molecular targets for latency reversal. The regulatory factors physically associated with and repressing the latent HIV-1 promoter or 5’LTR would provide ideal putative molecular targets for latency reversal. However, due to technical limitations, the comprehensive and unbiased identification of host proteins associated with the latent or active integrated HIV LTR in infected cells not been possible. Here we use dCas9 targeted chromatin and histone enrichment strategy coupled to mass spectrometry (Catchet-MS), to purify the locus-associated dCas9 bait, guided downstream of the HIV-1 transcriptional start site (TSS) in latent and activated HIV-1 infected T cells to identify the 5’LTR bound latent and active regulatory complexes. Catchet-MS identified both previously described as well as novel host factors distinctly associated with the latent versus transcriptionally active HIV-1 5’LTR. Within the identified factors we find the transcription factor IKZF1 to be a novel repressor of the HIV-1 promoter required for maintenance of latency, and thus a molecular target for latency reversal. Finally, we identify the FDA approved drug, Iberdomide, which targets IKZF1 for degradation to be a novel LRA, which reversed latency in latent ex vivo HIV-1 infected primary CD4+ T cells and in cells isolated from HIV-1 infected, aviremic participants.

miRNA profiling in HIV-1 latently infected cells

Project description:Herein expression trends of host miRNA were measured in HIV-1 latently infected and persistent replication cells, as well as the control cells. HIV-1 latency infection was established by infecting CEM-SS lymphocytes with HIV-1 Bru strain. After selection and long-term culture, the chronically infected cell showed the characteristics of latency definition: 1. The provirus was intergrated in to the host genome.2. No viral expression could be detected during culture.3 .Cell stimulators, such as TNFa,PMA, etc, reactivate the viral expression. As expected, miRNA trend was different in HIV-1 latency when compared to the control or HIV-1 replication. A subset of miRNAs is enriched in HIV-1 latency model. The observation reinforces the concept of active HIV-1 interplay with host small RNAs that modulate HIV-1 infection mode. In this study, the in vitro steady cell culture was used to explore the miRNA transcription signatures in HIV-1 infection. miRNA profiles were performed and compared among normal control,HIV-1 latency and HIV-1 replication .

Aminobisphosphonates reactivate the latent reservoir in people living with HIV-1

Project description:Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not curative due to the existence of cellular reservoirs of latent HIV-1 that persist during therapy 1. Current research efforts to cure HIV-1 infection include “shock and kill” strategies to disrupt latency using small molecules or latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to induce expression of HIV-1 enabling cytotoxic immune cells to eliminate infected cells 2. However, the modest success of current LRAs urges the field to identify novel drugs with increased clinical efficacy 3,4. Aminobisphosphonates that include pamidronate, zoledronate, or alendronate, are the first-line treatment of bone-related diseases including osteoporosis and bone malignancies 5. Here, we show the use of aminobisphosphonates as a novel class of LRA: we found in ex vivo assays using primary cells from ART-suppressed people living with HIV-1 that aminobisphosphonates induce HIV-1 from latency to levels that are comparable to the T cell activator phytohemagglutinin. RNA sequencing and mechanistic data suggested that reactivation may occur through activation of the activator protein 1 signaling pathway. Stored samples from a prior clinical trial aimed at analyzing the effect of alendronate on bone mineral density, provided further of alendronate-mediated latency reversal and activation of immune effector cells.Decay of the reservoir measured by IPDA was however not detected. Our results demonstrate the novel use of aminobisphosphonates to reverse HIV-1 latency while inducing immune effector functions. This preliminary evidence merits further investigation in a controlled clinical setting possibly in combination with therapeutic vaccination.
