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reservoir of infected cells will produce replication-competent infectious virus once prolonged suppressive HAART is withdrawn.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.

Project description:The goal of this CRISPR-based screen (Latency HIV-CRISPR) is to identify HIV-1 latency factors by evaluating multiple pathways simultaneously. Here are Illumina sequencing data and counts files from a Latency HIV-CRISPR screen using a custom guide RNA library targeting human epigenome genes (HuEpi). The Latency HIV-CRISPR screens described here were performed in clonal ZAP knockout J-Lat 10.6 (PMID: 12682019) or J-Lat 5A8 (PMID: 24204950) cells lines as ZAP inhibition of the HIV-CRISPR vector has been previously described (PMID: 30520725). The screens were performed in the presence or absence of AZD5582, a SMAC mimetic and latency reversal agent, in order to identify factors that are dependent and independent of this transcriptional activator.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to be a potent inducer of apoptosis in various cancer cell lines and primary cancer cells. However, in clinical trials administration of recombinant TRAIL or TRAIL death receptor agonists did not show sufficient efficacy for treatment of tested malignant disorders compared to standard chemotherapy. Acquired resistance of cancer cells to TRAIL and to other âdeath receptorâ ligands may explain not only the inability of TRAIL and TRAIL âdeath receptorâ agonists to achieve the clearance of cancer cells in vivo but also the escape of cancer cells from immune cell â mediated killing. Selective pressure of TRAIL on TRAIL-sensitive Jurkat T-lymphoblastic leukemia cells provided several TRAIL resistant Jurkat cell line clones (TR1, TR2, TR3). Irrespective of molecular changes histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), such as suberoylanilide-hydroxamic acid (SAHA, vorinostat), were able to restore sensitivity of all three TRAIL-resistant clones to TRAIL. Gene expression analysis of TR1 clone treated with SAHA 1microM for 12 hours compared to untreated TR1 clone showed significant decrease in expression of CFLAR/cFLIP (0.71; p=0.006), BIRC5/survivin (0.80; p=0.024) and BID (0.66; p<0.001). Expression of both TRAIL âdeathâ receptors DR4 (1.57; p<0.001) and DR5 (1.47; p=0.002) were significantly increased compared to untreated TR1 cells. The mRNA expression of caspases-2,-3,-8,-9,-10 did not significantly change with the SAHA treatment. Total cellular RNA was isolated from biologic duplicates of untreated Jurkat cells (WT), TRAIL resistant Jurkat cell clone (TR1) and 1 µM and 0.5 µM suberoylanilide-hydroxamic acid (SAHA, vorinostat) treated TR1 cell clones for 12 hours. Jurkat cell line subclones TR1was established by selective pressure of TRAIL 1000 ng/mL on Jurkat cells over the period of 12 weeks.

Project description:HIV infection is not curable due to viral latency. Compelling reports studying proteins such as CD2, PD-1, LAG-3 and TIGIT suggest that there is a distinct profile of surface proteins that can be used for targeting latently infected cells. We have recently reported that glycoproteins were differentially secreted from HIV latently infected ACH-2 cells compared to the parental A3.01 cells. This observation suggests that glyco-phenotype might be different in these two cell lines. To determine the difference, the ACH-2 and A3.01 cell lines were subjected to a glycoproteomic analysis. A total number of 940 unique N-linked glycosite-containing peptides from 515 glycoproteins were identified. Among the glycoproteins, 365 and 104 were annotated as cell surface and membrane-associated proteins, respectively. Label free quantitative LC-MS/MS analysis revealed a change of 236 glycosite-containing peptides from 172 glycoproteins between the two cell lines without reactivation. Bioinformatic analysis suggests that cell adhesion, immune response, glycoprotein metabolic process, cell motion and cell activation were associated with the changed proteins. After reactivation of latency by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), changes in glycosite-containing peptides were observed in both cell lines. Changes in 49 glycosite-containing peptides from 45 glycoproteins might be due to viral replication. The changed proteins suggest that cell migration, response to wounding and immune response were impaired in reactivated latently infected cells. Our study provides important glycoproteomic data in respect to HIV latently infected cells. Glycoproteomics merits future application using primary cells to discover reveal mechanisms in HIV pathogenesis.

Project description:Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) has been assessed in clinical trials as part of a “shock and kill” strategy to cure HIV-infected patients. While it was effective at inducing expression of HIV RNA "shock" , treatment with SAHA did not result in the reduction of reservoir size "kill". We therefore utilized a systems biology approach to dissect the mechanisms of action of SAHA that may explain its limited success in “shock and kill” strategies. CD4+ T cells from HIV seronegative donors were treated with 1 uM SAHA or its solvent dimethyl sulfoxide for 24 hours. Differential protein expression and post-translational modification was measured with two-dimensional liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry iTRAQ proteomics. Gene expression changes were assessed by Illumina microarrays. Using limma package in the R computing environment, we identified 185 proteins, 18 phosphorylated forms, 4 acetylated forms and 2,982 genes, whose expression was modulated by SAHA. A protein interaction network integrating these 4 data types identified the transcriptional regulator HMGA1 to be upregulated by SAHA at the transcript, protein and acetylated protein levels. HMGA1 has been shown to repress HIV transcription, which is not optimal with respect to a shock and kill strategy. Further functional category assessment of proteins and genes modulated by SAHA identified gene ontology terms related to NFB signaling, protein folding and autophagy, which are all relevant to HIV reactivation. In summary, this study identified a number of host factors that may be therapeutically targeted to achieve more potent HIV reactivation in the “shock and kill” treatment, when using SAHA, either through modification of SAHA itself or through combination with other latency reversing agents. Finally, proteome profiling highlighted a number of potential adverse effects of SAHA, which transcriptome profiling alone would not have identified.

Project description:Transcriptional silencing of latent HIV-1 proviruses entails complex and overlapping mechanisms and are a major barrier to in vivo elimination of HIV-1. We developed a new latency CRISPR screening strategy, called Latency HIV-CRISPR, which uses the packaging of guideRNA-encoding lentiviral vector genomes into the supernatant of budding virions as a direct readout of factors involved in the maintenance of HIV-1 latency. We developed a custom guideRNA library targeting epigenetic regulatory genes and paired the screen with and without a latency reversal agent – AZD5582, an activator of the non-canonical NFkB pathway – to examine a combination of mechanisms controlling HIV-1 latency. A component of the Nucleosome Acetyltransferase of H4 histone acetylation (NuA4 HAT) complex, ING3, acts in concert with AZD5582 to activate proviruses in J-Lat cell lines and in a primary CD4+ T cell model of HIV-1 latency. We found that the knockout of ING3 reduces acetylation of the H4 histone tail and BRD4 occupancy on the HIV-1 LTR, and the combination of ING3 knockout with the activation of non-canonical NFkB via AZD5582 act together to dramatically increase initiation and elongation of RNA Polymerase II on the HIV-1 provirus in a manner that is nearly unique among all cellular promoters.

Project description:Integration of the HIV-1 provirus in the host genome ensures a persistent supply of latently infected cells. This latent reservoir is recalcitrant to antiretroviral therapy (ART) making lifelong treatment the only option for patients. The â??shock and killâ?? strategy aims to eradicate latent HIV by reactivating proviral gene expression followed by ART treatment. Gene specific transcriptional activation can be achieved using the RNA-guided CRISPR-Cas9 system comprising small guide RNAs (sgRNAs) with a nuclease deficient Cas9 mutant (dCas9) fused to the VP64 transactivation domain (dCas9-VP64).  We engineered this system to target 23 sites within the LTR promoter of HIV-1 and identified a â??hotspotâ?? for activation. We studied the functionality of activating sgRNAs to transcriptionally modulate the latent proviral genome across multiple different in vitro latency cell models including several J-Lat, ACH2 J1.1 and the CEM T cell model comprising a single clonal population of integrated mCherry-IRES-Tat from a full-length HIV LTR (LChIT). While we observed variable responses of latent cell models to well-characterized chemical stimuli, we detected consistent efficient activation of latent virus mediated by activator sgRNAs. In addition, transcriptome analysis of chemically treated cells revealed massive non-specific gene dysregulation whereas by comparison, dCas9-VP64/sgRNAs induced specific activation of the integrated provirus. In conclusion, we show the potential for CRISPR-mediated gene activation systems to provide enhanced efficiency and specificity in a targeted latency reactivation strategy. This represents a promising approach to a â??functional cureâ?? of HIV/AIDS. Three experimental conditions (sgRNA control, TNF treated and sgRNA against the LTR of HIV-1) were analyzed in triplicate using two sequencing lanes
