HIV-1 Tat protein promotes neuronal dysfunction through disruption of microRNAs.

ABSTRACT: Over the last decade, small noncoding RNA molecules such as microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in the expression and function of eukaryotic genomes. It has been suggested that viral infections and neurological disease outcome may also be shaped by the influence of small RNAs. This has prompted us to suggest that HIV infection alters the endogenous miRNA expression patterns, thereby contributing to neuronal deregulation and AIDS dementia. Therefore, using primary cultures and neuronal cell lines, we examined the impact of a viral protein (HIV-1 Tat) on the expression of miRNAs due to its characteristic features such as release from the infected cells and taken up by noninfected cells. Using microRNA array assay, we demonstrated that Tat deregulates the levels of several miRNAs. Interestingly, miR-34a was among the most highly induced miRNAs in Tat-treated neurons. Tat also decreases the levels of miR-34a target genes such as CREB protein as shown by real time PCR. The effect of Tat was neutralized in the presence of anti-miR-34a. Using in situ hybridization assay, we found that the levels of miR-34a increase in Tat transgenic mice when compared with the parental mice. Therefore, we conclude that deregulation of neuronal functions by HIV-1 Tat protein is miRNA-dependent.

Deregulation of microRNAs by HIV-1 Vpr protein leads to the development of neurocognitive disorders.

Project description:Studies have shown that HIV-infected patients develop neurocognitive disorders characterized by neuronal dysfunction. The lack of productive infection of neurons by HIV suggests that viral and cellular proteins, with neurotoxic activities, released from HIV-1-infected target cells can cause this neuronal deregulation. The viral protein R (Vpr), a protein encoded by HIV-1, has been shown to alter the expression of various important cytokines and inflammatory proteins in infected and uninfected cells; however the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Using a human neuronal cell line, we found that Vpr can be taken up by neurons causing: (i) deregulation of calcium homeostasis, (ii) endoplasmic reticulum-calcium release, (iii) activation of the oxidative stress pathway, (iv) mitochondrial dysfunction and v- synaptic retraction. In search for the cellular factors involved, we performed microRNAs and gene array assays using human neurons (primary cultures or cell line, SH-SY5Y) that we treated with recombinant Vpr proteins. Interestingly, Vpr deregulates the levels of several microRNAs (e.g. miR-34a) and their target genes (e.g. CREB), which could lead to neuronal dysfunctions. Therefore, we conclude that Vpr plays a major role in neuronal dysfunction through deregulating microRNAs and their target genes, a phenomenon that could lead to the development of neurocognitive disorders. Using primary cultures and neuronal cell lines, we examined the impact of a viral protein (HIV-1 Vpr) on the expression of miRNAs and mRNAs.

Identification of SART3 as a pre-miR-34a–binding protein

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, noncoding RNAs that are implicated in the regulation of nearly all biological processes. Global miRNA biogenesis is altered in many cancers and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown to play a role in this process, presenting a promising avenue for targeting miRNA dysregulation in disease. miR-34a exhibits tumor-suppressive functions by targeting cell cycle regulators CDK4/6 and anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, among other regulatory pathways such as Wnt, TGF-, and Notch signaling. Many cancers show downregulation or loss of miR-34a, and synthetic miR-34a supplementation has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in vivo; however, the post-transcriptional mechanisms by which miR-34a is lost in cancer are not entirely understood. Here, we have used a proteomics-mediated approach to identify Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T-cells 3 (SART3) as a putative pre-miR-34a-binding protein. SART3 is a spliceosome recycling factor and nuclear RBP with no previously reported role in miRNA regulation. We demonstrate that SART3 binds pre-miR-34a with specificity over pre-let-7d and begin to elucidate a new functional role for this protein in non-small lung cancer cells. Overexpression of SART3 led to increased miR-34a levels, downregulation of the miR-34a target genes CDK4 and CDK6, and cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. In vitro binding studies showed that the RNA-recognition motifs within the SART3 sequence are responsible for selective pre-miR-34a binding. Collectively, our results present evidence for an influential role of SART3 in miR-34a biogenesis and cell cycle progression.

Tat RNA silencing suppressor activity contributes to perturbation of lymphocyte miRNAs by HIV-1

Project description:Herein expression trends of host miRNA were measured in CEMx174 lymphocytes infected with HIV-1NL4-3 or derivative strains deficient in Tat RSS activity (RSS) or vif-/vpr (VV), or unexposed to virus. As expected from previous studies, miRNA trends were different in naive and HIV-1 infected cells. Moreover, miRNA expression trends were similar for HIV-1 and vif-/vpr-deficient HIV-1, but diverged for RSS. Rather than generalized changes in miRNA levels, HIV-1 bearing the Tat K51A RSS mutation changed the steady state of a subset of miRNAs. The results are attributable to reduction in miRNA stability or change in miRNAs activity that altered steady state expression. Comparison of the miRNA expression trends in patient PBMC and the CEMx174 lymphocytes determined >50% overlap with a subset of miRNAs identified in patients, supporting the utility of HIV-1 cell culture model to refine experimental design with patient samples, which represent miRNA profiles of co-isolated infected and uninfected cells. Our results indicate that ablation of Tat RNA silencing suppressor activity in HIV-1 changes the steady state of a subset of host mature miRNA. The observation reinforces the concept of active HIV-1 interplay with host small RNAs that modulate replication and spread. The study validated the utility of derivative HIV-1 strains to explore the interface of viral genes with host small RNA activity. In this study the microRNA profiles of CEMx174 cells infected with HIV-1 NL4-3 or derivative viruses deficient in Vif/Vpr or Tat RNA silencing suppressor activity were compared to mock infected cells. The samples were analyzed in duplicate.

MicroRNAs differentially present in the plasma of HIV elite controllers

Project description:Elite controllers maintain HIV-1 viral loads below the limit of detection. The mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are poorly understood. As microRNAs (miRNAs) are regulators of gene expression and some of them modulate HIV infection, we have studied the miRNA profile in plasma from HIV elite controllers and chronically infected individuals and compared against healthy donors. Several miRNAs correlate with CD4+ T cell count or with the known time of infection. No significant differences were observed between elite controllers and healthy donors; however, 16 miRNAs were different in the plasma of chronic infected versus healthy donors. In addition, levels of hsa-miR-29b-3p, hsa-miR-33a-5p and hsa-miR-146a-5p were higher in plasma from elite controllers than chronic infected and hsa-miR-29b-3p and hsa-miR-33a-5p overexpression significantly reduced the viral production in MT2 cells. Therefore, levels of circulating miRNAs might be of diagnostic and/or prognostic value for HIV infection. Additionally, hsa-miR-29b-3p and miR-33a-5p may be used in therapeutic strategies. An exploratory cross-sectional study of microRNA levels in EDTA plasma samples. Plasma samples were obtained from 24 subjects and were classified in 3 groups, 9 Elite Controllers (defined as individuals with plasma viral load (PVL) < 50 copies/ml, CD4 count >350/ml), 9 chronic HIV patients (CH) under anti-retroviral treatment and 6 healthy HIV negative donors (HD). This study was approved by the HuM-CM-)sped Foundation Ethics Committee and informed consent was obtained from all subjects.
