Project description:Latently infected resting CD4+ T cells are a major barrier to HIV cure. Understanding how latency is established, maintained and reversed is critical to identifying novel strategies to eliminate latently infected cells. We demonstrate here that co-culture of resting CD4+ T cells and syngeneic myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) can dramatically increase the frequency of HIV DNA integration and latent HIV infection in non-proliferating memory, but not naïve, CD4+ T cells. Gene expression in non-proliferating CD4+ T cells, enriched for latent infection, showed significant changes in the expression of genes involved in cellular activation and interferon regulated pathways, including the down-regulation of genes controlling both NF-κB and cell cycle. We conclude that mDC play a key role in the establishment of HIV latency in resting memory CD4+ T cells, which is predominantly mediated through signalling during DC-T cell contact.

Resting (CD69-CD25-HLA-DR-) CD4+ T cells were enriched from the blood of 4 normal donors by magnetic bead depletion and labelled with the proliferation dye SNARF. SNARFhiEGFP- CD4+ T cells cultured with (+DC) or without syngeneic bulk DC (lin-HLA-DR+), in the presence (HIV T) or absence (Mock T) of HIV, were sorted 5 days following infection with NL(AD8)-nef/EGFP (MOI 5).Culture media was supplemented with 10ng/mL of IL-7. The gene expression profile of the 4 cell populations: 1. HIV T (+DC); 2. Mock T (+DC); 3. HIV T; and 4. Mock T, was determined.

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.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is able to control HIV-1 viral replication, however long-lived latent infection in resting memory CD4+ T-cells persist. The mechanisms for establishment and maintenance of latent infection in resting memory CD4+ T-cells remain unclear. Previously we have shown that HIV-1 infection of resting CD4+ T-cells co-cultured with CD11c+ myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) produced a population of non-proliferating T-cells with latent infection. Here we asked whether different antigen presenting cells (APC), including subpopulations of DC and monocytes, were able to induce post-integration latent infection in resting CD4+ T-cells, and examined potential cell interactions that may be involved using RNA-seq. RESULTS: mDC (CD1c+), SLAN+ DC and CD14+ monocytes were most efficient in stimulating proliferation of CD4+ T-cells during syngeneic culture and in generating post-integration latent infection in non-proliferating CD4+ T-cells following HIV-1 infection of APC-T-cell co-cultures. In comparison, plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and B-cells did not induce latent infection in APC-T-cell co-cultures. We compared the RNA expression profiles of APC subpopulations that could and could not induce latency in non-proliferating CD4+ T-cells. Gene expression analysis, comparing the mDC, SLAN+ DC and CD14+ monocyte subpopulations to pDC identified 53 upregulated genes that encode proteins expressed on the plasma membrane that could signal to CD4+ T-cells via cell-cell interactions (32 genes), immune checkpoints (IC) (5 genes), T-cell activation (9 genes), regulation of apoptosis (5 genes), antigen presentation (1 gene) and through unknown ligands (1 gene). CONCLUSIONS: APC subpopulations from the myeloid lineage, specifically mDC subpopulations and CD14+ monocytes, were able to efficiently induce post-integration HIV-1 latency in non-proliferating CD4+ T-cells in vitro. Inhibition of key pathways involved in mDC-T-cell interactions and HIV-1 latency may provide novel targets to eliminate HIV latency. mRNA profiles of sorted, pure antigen presenting cells including, CD1c+ myleoid dendirtic cells (mDC), SLAN+ mDC, CD14+ monocytes and plasmacytoid DC (pDC), were generated using next generation sequencing in triplicate, using Illumina Illumina Hiseq 2000.

between HIV proteins and immune response

Studying HIV latency by

immune response.

Abstract:
HIV infection leads to two cell fates, the viral productive
state or viral latency (a reversible non-productive state). HIV
latency is relevant because infected active CD4+ T-lymphocytes
can reach a resting memory state in which the provirus remains
silent for long periods of time. Despite experimental and
theoretical efforts, the causal molecular mechanisms
responsible for HIV latency are only partially understood.
Studies have determined that HIV latency is influenced by the
innate immune response carried out by cell restriction factors
that inhibit the postintegration steps in the virus replication
cycle. In this study, we present a mathematical study that
combines deterministic and stochastic approaches to analyze the
interactions between HIV proteins and the innate immune
response. Using wide ranges of parameter values, we observed
the following: (1) a phenomenological description of the viral
productive and latent cell phenotypes is obtained by bistable
and bimodal dynamics, (2) biochemical noise reduces the
probability that an infected cell adopts the latent state, (3)
the effects of the innate immune response enhance the HIV
latency state, (4) the conditions of the cell before infection
affect the latent phenotype, i.e., the existing expression of
cell restriction factors propitiates HIV latency, and existing
expression of HIV proteins reduces HIV latency.

Project description:The latent reservoir for HIV-1 in resting memory CD4+ T cells is the major barrier to curing HIV-1 infection. Studies of HIV-1 latency have focused on regulation of viral gene expression in cells in which latent infection is established. However, it remains unclear how infection initially becomes latent. Here we described a unique set of properties of CD4+ T cells undergoing effector-to-memory transition including temporary up-regulation of CCR5 expression and rapid down-regulation of cellular gene transcription. These cells allowed completion of steps in the HIV-1 life cycle through integration, but suppressed HIV-1 gene transcription, thus allowing the establishment of latency. CD4+ T cells in this stage were substantially more permissive for HIV-1 latent infection than other CD4+ T cells. Establishment of latent HIV-1 infection in CD4+ T could be inhibited by viral-specific CD8+ T cells, a result with implications for elimination of latent HIV-1 infection by T cell-based vaccines.

Project description:Resting CD4+ T cells are infected by HIV-1 in vivo, however are refractory to cell-free HIV-1 infection in vitro. We show that they are efficiently infected by cell-to-cell spread. To allow resting T cell infection, uninfected resting target cells were co-cultured with infected donor T cells. Cells were infected with HIV-1 WT, dVpr or left mock treated and cultures with or without IL7. After 72h of co-culture, resting target cells were recovered by flow cytometry sorting and total RNA was extracted. RNASequencing revealed global transcriptomic reprogramming of resting memory T cells by HIV-1 Vpr.

Project description:An innovative approach to eliminate HIV-1-infected cells emerging out of latency, the major hurdle to HIV-1 cure, is to pharmacologically reactivate viral expression and concomitantly trigger intracellular pro-apoptotic pathways in order to selectively induce cell death (ICD) of infected cells, without reliance on the extracellular immune system. In this work we demonstrate the effect of DEAD-box polypeptide 3, X-Linked (DDX3) inhibitors on selectively inducing cell death in latent HIV-1-infected cell lines, primary CD4+ T cells and in CD4+ T cells from cART-suppressed people living with HIV-1 (PLWHIV). RNA sequencing analysis revealed that while overall gene expression was minimally dysregulated, DDX3 inhibition in independent donor CD4+ T cells led to significant downregulation of BIRC5 and HSPB1A, genes critical to cell survival during HIV-1 infection. We used single-cell FISH-Flow technology to characterise latency reversal and the contribution of viral RNA to inducing cell death; pharmacological targeting of DDX3 induced HIV-1 RNA expression, resulting in phosphorylation of IRF3, upregulation of IFNβ and selective induction of apoptosis in viral RNA-expressing CD4+ T cells from PLWHIV but not bystander cells. DDX3 inhibitor treatment of CD4+ T cells from PLWHIV in an in vitro culture model over five days resulted in an approximately 50% reduction of the inducible latent HIV-1 reservoir as determined by quantitation of CA HIV-1 RNA, by TILDA, as well as by FISH-Flow technology. Our data support the translation of DDX3 inhibitor class compounds into HIV-1 curative strategies and provide proof of concept for pharmacological reversal of latency coupled to induction of apoptosis towards elimination of the inducible reservoir.
