CD32+CD4+ T cells sharing B cell properties increase in lymphoid tissues during simian immunodeficiency virus infection

ABSTRACT: HIV reservoirs in tissues form the major hurdle to an HIV cure. Despite major progress made on the understanding of the establishment and persistence of viral reservoirs, the characterization of composition and dynamics of the viral reservoir is still uncomplete. In addition, most studies in HIV infection are limited to blood. Here we take advantage of non-human primate models to provide a longitudinal analysis on potential viral target cells in distinct body compartments : blood, lymph nodes (LN), spleen ileum, jejunum and liver. We observed an increase in CD32+CD4+ T cells in secondary lymphoid tissues and intestine during primary and chronic pathogenic SIVmac infection. In the natural host (African green monkey, AGM), increase of the CD4+CD32+T cell levels was observed in tissues with higher replication and immune activation. CD32+CD4+ T cells expressed more often markers associated with HIV infected and/or reservoir cells (PD-1, CXCR5 for TFH cells in SLT, and CXCR3 for Th1 cells) than CD32- cells. The tissue CD32+CD4+T cells displayed higher levels of actively transcribed SIV RNA than CD32-CD4+T cells. The genome-wide transcriptome of CD32+CD4+ T cells in spleen from SIV-infected animals indicated that the CD32+CD4+ T cells shared B cell markers. The CD20+ expressing CD32+CD4+ T cells were increased in the tissues but not in the blood during SIV infection. Altogether, the study showed that SIV infection increases the frequencies of CD32+CD4+ T cells in tissues more than in blood. These cells might represent a not well-described subpopulation of activated CD4+ T cells.

Systemic HIV/SIV latency reversal via activation of the non-canonical NF-B signaling pathway in vivo

Project description:Resting CD4+ T cells that are both persistent and latently infected with HIV represent the most important challenge to HIV eradication. Estimates indicate the need for >70 years of continuous, fully suppressive, antiretroviral therapy (ART) to eliminate the HIV reservoir. Alternatively, induction of HIV from its latent state could accelerate the decline of the reservoir, thereby shortening the time to eradication. Previous attempts to reactivate latent HIV in preclinical animal models and in clinical trials have measured HIV induction in peripheral blood with minimal focus on tissue reservoirs and had limited effect. We found that activation of the non-canonical NF-B signaling pathway via AZD5582 results in induction of HIV- and SIV-RNA expression in the blood and tissues of ART-suppressed humanized mice and rhesus macaques. Analysis of resting CD4+ T cells from tissues after AZD55852 treatment revealed increased SIV-RNA in lymph nodes in macaques and robust induction of HIV in virtually all tissues analyzed in humanized mice including lymph nodes, thymus, bone marrow, liver, and lung. This promising new approach to latency reversal, in combination with the appropriate tools for systemic clearance of persistent HIV infection, greatly increases opportunities for HIV eradication.

Activation of ISR/ATF4 signaling depletes HIV reservoir in CD4+ T cells

Project description:Latent HIV reservoirs are extremely stable which pose a tremendous challenge to eradicate HIV. Here, we show that HIV explores the integrated stress response (ISR) signaling to establish its quiescent infection, refractory to the clearance for its persistence. HA15, a recently characterized specific ISR agonist, activates ATF4/CHOP signaling to not only disrupt HIV latency but also reduce HIV+ cells in the primary CD4+ T cell model of HIV latency without the induction of cell death in the HIV negative primary CD4+ T cells and the impact of viability in resting CD4+ T cells isolated from people living with HIV (PLWH). Mechanistically, the reduction of HIV+ cells by ISR/ATF4 activation is associated with the enhancement of cellular apoptosis. However, this mainly occurs in the HIV translation negative CD4+ T cells. In fact, ISR/ATF4 activation-induced cell death largely occurs in HIV transcription active (HIV gag-pol) CD4+ T cells. This is involved in HIV RNA-induced innate immune IFIT signaling. During the acute SIV infection in the rhesus macaques, the induction of ATF4 is associated with decrease of SIV reservoir in the intestine in vivo. When further tested in the resting CD4+ T cells isolated from PLWH on ART, the induction of ISR/ATF4 signaling by HA15 reduced HIV DNA reservoir. These findings support that inactivation of ISR/ATF4 signaling is associated with the maintenance of the stable and quiescent HIV reservoirs while enforced ISR/ATF4 signaling reduces translation quiescent HIV reservoirs in CD4+ T cells.

Type I IFN responses in rhesus macaques prevent SIV transmission and slow disease progression

Project description:In acute HIV infection immune activation may provide target cells and drive virus replication, which innate immunity may limit. Thus, the net effects of inflammatory mediators, including type I interferon (IFN-I), are unclear. Here, we block IFN-I signaling during pathogenic acute SIV infection with an IFN-I receptor antagonist. Delayed antiviral gene expression, increased SIV reservoir, increased CD4 T cell depletion and accelerated progression to AIDS and death ensue despite decreased T cell activation. In contrast, IFNα2a treatment initially upregulates antiviral genes and prevents systemic SIV infection after rectal challenge. Antiviral gene expression normalizes, and infection ensues with fewer transmitted/founder variants. Continued IFNα2a treatment causes delayed antiviral gene expression, increased SIV reservoir and increased CCR5+ CD4 T cell loss. Thus, the precise timing of antiviral gene expression has a profound impact on disease course. The benefits of early antiviral activity outweigh the harms of increased immune activation in acute SIV infection. SRA Study accession: SRP034563, BioProject ID:PRJNA231884

IL-15 Enhances HIV-1 infection by Promoting Differentiation and Survival of CCR5+CD4+ T cells

Project description:HIV-1 usually utilize CCR5 as the co-receptor and rarely switches to CXCR4-tropic until late stage of infection. CCR5+CD4+ T cells are the major virus-producing cells in patients as well as SIV-infected non-human primates. The differentiation of CCR5+CD4+ T cells is associated with the availability of IL-15, which increases during acute HIV-1 infection. Here, we report that CCR5 is expressed by CD4+ T cells exhibiting effector or effector memory phenotype with high expression levels of the IL-2/IL-15 receptor common beta and gamma chains. IL-15 but not IL-7 improves the survival of CCR5+CD4+ T cells, drives their expansion, and facilitates HIV-1 infection in vitro and in humanized mice. Our study suggests that IL-15 plays confounding roles in HIV-1 infection, and future studies on the IL-15-based boosting of anti-HIV-1 immunity should carefully exam the potential effects on the expansion of HIV-1 reservoirs in CCR5+CD4+ T cells.

CD34+ monocyte subset is highly susceptible to HIV-1 infection

Project description:HIV-1 persists in cellular reservoirs despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). CD4+ T cells are the well-known reservoir, but there is growing evidence that myeloid cells, including circulating monocytes, are also a clinically relevant reservoir. However, it is unclear what are preferentially infected monocyte subsets in vivo. Here, we show that a monocyte fraction expressing the stem cell marker CD34 is more susceptible to HIV-1 infection than the CD34-negative major subset. In ART-untreated viremic patients, CD34+ fraction increased in the percentage in total monocytes, and harbored more proviral DNA than the major subset. Consistent with this, when compared to the major subset, CD34+ fraction expressed HIV-1 receptors (CD4 and CCR5) at higher levels and HIV-1 restriction factors (MX2 and SAMHD1) at lower levels. Interestingly, proviral DNA was detected in CD34+ fraction of ART-treated virologically suppressed patients. CD34+ monocytes were also present in lymph nodes, and expressed CD4 and CCR5 at higher levels than the major subset, as observed for peripheral blood. Moreover, CD34+ monocytes present in peripheral blood and lymph nodes highly expressed CCR7 and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), critical regulators of in vivo cellular trafficking. Our findings suggest that circulating CD34+ monocytes are infected with residual HIV-1 after migrating into tissues including lymph nodes and return to circulation, which explains the detection of proviral DNA in the cells even after long-term ART.

scRNA-seq data from two macaques in AP-1/c-Fos supports SIV and HIV-1 latency in CD4 T-cells infected in vivo

Project description:Persistent HIV-1 reservoirs of infected CD4 T-cells are a major barrier to HIV-1 cure, though the mechanisms by which they are established and maintained in vivo remain poorly characterized. To study host properties that govern productive cellular infection, we analyzed viral mRNA+ (vRNA) CD4 T-cells of untreated SIV-infected macaques by single-cell RNAseq. Transcriptionally active infected cells, defined by spliced vRNA, were highly enriched for vRNA: 10.3% and 7.5% of all mRNA in two animals. These cells expressed diminished FOS, a component of the Activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor, relative to vRNA-low and -negative cells.

NK cells actively control HIV-1 DNA reservoir

Project description:The size of lentiviral DNA reservoirs reflects effectiveness of immune responses against lentiviruses. So far, abundant information has been gathered on the control of HIV-1 replication. Understanding of innate mechanisms contributing to containment of HIV-DNA reservoir, however, are only partly clarified and are relevant to guide interventions for reservoir containment or eradication. We studied the contribution of Natural Killer (NK) cell functional features in HIV patients either controlling replication either spontaneously (HIC) or after progression and antiretroviral treatment (PP). An inverse correlation between HIV-DNA copy numbers (either total or integrated) in circulating CD4+ cells and NK cell function were observed. Induced IFN-gamma production and NKp46/NKp30 activating receptor-induced expression correlated inversely with reservoir size. The correlation was present not only when considering a homogeneous cohort of HIC patients, but also when PP patients were included in the analysis. Adaptive (NKG2C + CD57 + ) NK cell features were not associated with reservoir size. However a distinct set of 370 differentially expressed transcripts was found to underlie functional differences in NK cells controlling HIV-DNA reservoir size. In proof-of-principle in vitro experiments of CD4+ cell infection with HIV-1, purified NK cells with the above functional/transcriptional features displayed a 10- and 30-fold higher ability to control HIV replication and DNA burden in vitro, respectively, compared to other NK cells. Thus, NK cells with a specific functional and transcriptional signature contribute to control of HIV reservoir in CD4+ cells. Their selection, expansion and/or adoptive transfer may support strategies to eradicate HIV-1 infection or to safely deescalate antiretroviral treatment.

Genomic profiling of HIV-1 integration in microglia cells links viral integration to the topologically associated domains

Project description:HIV-1 encounters the hierarchically organized host chromatin to stably integrate and persist in anatomically distinct latent reservoirs. The contribution of genome organization in HIV-1 infection has been largely understudied across different HIV-1 targets. Here we determine HIV-1 integration sites (IS), associate them to chromatin and expression signatures at different genomic scales in a microglia cell model and profile them together with the primary T cell reservoir. HIV-1 insertions into introns of actively transcribed genes with IS hotspots in genic- and super-enhancers, characteristic of blood cells, are maintained in the microglia cell model. Genome organization analysis reveals dynamic CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) clusters in cells with active and repressed HIV-1 transcription, while CTCF removal impairs viral integration. We identify CTCF-enriched topologically associated domain (TAD) boundaries with signatures of transcriptionally active chromatin as HIV-1 integration determinant in microglia and CD4+ T cells, highlighting the importance of the host genome organization in HIV-1 infection.

Transcriptional response of HIV-infected CD4 memory T cells to co-culture with TCR activated CD8 T cells.

Project description:The persistence of HIV infection under ART is due to a reservoir of latently infected cells that harbor replication-competent virus and evade immune recognition. Defining the mechanisms responsible for the establishment and maintenance of HIV latency is crucial to achieve HIV eradication or functional cure. Previous studies demonstrated a non-cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells mediated inhibition of virus replication during untreated HIV/SIV infection and inhibition of virus production under ART; however, the mechanisms responsible for this antiviral effect remained poorly understood. In our primary cell-based in vitro latency model we demonstrated that co-culture with CD8+ T-cells promotes changes in metabolic and cell survival pathways in HIV-infected memory CD4+ T-cells that may negatively regulate HIV expression and ultimately promote the establishment of latency. Modulation of this CD8-mediated activity may represent a tool to disrupt HIV latency and reservoir persistence in ART-treated individuals.
