Project description:To study characteristics of the orapharyngeal epithelia which may influence susceptibility or resistance to HIV, we performed microarray analysis of the tonsil and gingival epithelium.Tonsil epithelium has been implicated in HIV pathogenesis, but its role in oral transmission remains controversial. We performed microarray analysis of Laser Capture Microdissected tonsil and gingival epithelium. Our data revealed that genes related to immune functions such as antibody production and antigen processing were increasingly expressed in tonsil compared to the epithelium of another oro-pharyngeal site, gingival epithelium. Importantly, tonsil epithelium highly expressed genes associated with HIV entrapment and/or transmission, including the HIV co-receptor CXCR4 and the potential HIV binding molecules, FcRγIII, complement receptor 2, and various complement components. This increased expression of molecules involved in viral recognition, binding and entry may favor virus-epithelium interaction in an environment with reduced innate anti-viral mechanisms. Specifically, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, an innate molecule with anti-HIV activity, was minimal in the tonsil epithelium, in contrast to oral mucosa. Collectively, our data suggest that increased expression of molecules associated with HIV binding and entry coupled with decreased innate anti-viral factors may render the tonsil a potential site for oral transmission. Experiment Overall Design: To study characteristics of the orapharyngeal epithelia which may influence susceptibility or resistance to HIV, we performed microarray analysis of the tonsil and gingival epithelium. Experiment Overall Design: Human palatine tonsils were obtained from routine therapeutic tonsillectomies (sleep apnea and non-tonsillitis) performed on otherwise healthy adults at the George Washington University Hospital with informed consent (IRB #099920). Gingival tissues were collected from healthy sites with probing depths < 3mm, with no clinical evidence of inflammation during routine therapeutic periodontal surgery at the University of Maryland, Department of Periodontics, with informed consent (IRB#1201211). Tissues were immediately snap frozen for the microarray studies. CM performed immediately at 10x magnification, using a Leica AS LMD system (Leica Microsystems). Areas unequivocally identified as epithelium were outlined , laser-dissected and captured and RNA from the tissues isolated. Preparation of biotin-labeled cRNA, hybridization, and scanning were performed according to manufacturerâs two cycle protocol (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Fluorescence intensity was measured using the Affymetrix GeneChip scanner and GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS, Affymetrix). Experiment Overall Design: Samples GSM173679, GSM173680,GSM173681, GSM173682, GSM173683, GSM173684, GSM173685, GSM173686, GSM173688, GSM173690 were processed togehter as "batch 1", while samples GSM173687 and GSM173689 were processed as "batch 2" together with sample GSM173691 which is a repeat of GSM173690, which was processed for comparison between the two batches.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptomic profiles of healthy individuals and HIV+ patients on therapy Methods: Cells were pelleted from gingival mucosa. mRNA profiles were generated by Next-gen sequencing using the Illumina platform. Results: Comprehensive transcriptome data that showed underlying changes in the oral mucosal immune system of HIV+ patients on therapy. The transcriptome data of the pooled healthy controls are presented here. Conclusions: Our study represents the analysis of oral gingival transcriptomes. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biological functional alterations during chronic viral infections such as HIV infection.

Project description:The study describes miRNA expression in Gingival tissue of chronically SIV-infected rhesus macaques. HIV/SIV-associated periodontal disease (gingivitis/periodontitis) (PD) represents a major comorbidity affecting HIV patients on anti-retroviral therapy. Employing a systems biology approach, we report molecular changes underlying PD and its modulation by phytocannabinoids [delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (9-THC)] in uninfected and SIV-infected rhesus macaques (RMs) untreated (VEH-untreated/SIV) or treated with vehicle (VEH/SIV) or 9-THC (THC/SIV). VEH- untreated/SIV but not THC/SIV RMs showed significant enrichment of genes linked to anti-viral defense, interferon-beta, NFkB, RIG-1, and JAK-STAT signaling. We focused on the anti-microbial DUOX1 and immune activation marker IDO1 that were reciprocally regulated in gingiva of VEH-untreated/SIV RMs. Both proteins localized to the gingival epithelium and CD163+ macrophages, and showed differential expression in the gingiva of THC/SIV and VEH/SIV RMs. Additionally, inflammation-associated miR-21, miR-142-3p, miR-223, and miR-125a-5p showed significantly higher expression in the gingiva of VEH/SIV RMs. In human primary gingival epithelial cells, miR-125a-5p post-transcriptionally downregulated DUOX1 These findings strongly support a role for differential miRNA expression associated with HIV/SIV induced gingival mucosal dysfunction.

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:Metabolic changes of immune cells contribute to both physiological and pathophysiological outcomes of immune reactions. How viruses alter the metabolic states of mucosal T cells and the precise mechanisms underlying the persisting immune dysfunction during chronic viral infections are key questions that have not been fully addressed. Here, by comparing transcriptome and salivary metabolome profiles of the uninfected individuals and people living with HIV (PLWH) on treatment, we found a role of polyamine metabolism in immune perturbations of the oral mucosa of HIV+ patients. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed the higher expression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC-1) and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (EIF5A), the polyamine metabolism intermediates in CD4+ T cells in PLWH. Mechanistic studies using an in vitro human tonsil organoid infection model revealed that HIV infection of activated T cells also resulted in increased polyamine synthesis, which was dependent on the activities of caspase-1, IL-1β, and ODC-1. HIV-1 also led to elevated dysfunctional regulatory T cells (TregDys) /Thelper 17 (Th17) cell ratios as well as heightened expression of ODC-1, EIF5A, and hypusinated EIF5A. Blockade of caspase-1, ODC-1, and EIF5A hypusination and not HIF-1⍺ or NLRP3 reversed the frequency of TregDys showing the direct impact of polyamine pathway in Treg dysfunction during HIV-1 infection. The addition of exogenous polyamines increased TregDys percentages independent of HIV-1 infection in vitro. Finally, oral mucosal TregDys/Th17 ratios and CD4 hyperactivation positively correlated with the increases in salivary putrescine levels, which were found to be elevated in the saliva of PLWH. Thus, by revealing the role of aberrantly increased polyamine synthesis during HIV infection, our study unveils a new mechanism by which chronic viral infections could drive distinct T cell effector programs and Treg dysfunction.

Project description:HIV-1 infections of women are mainly acquired through female reproductive tract where cervical and vaginal epithelial cells are the first line of defense. Although HIV-1 does not directly infect epithelial cells, HIV-1 obligatorily interacts with and crosses over epithelial layer to infect susceptible target cells, mainly CD4+ T cells, in the lamina propria to initiate an infection. However, the mechanism and ramification of the interaction of HIV-1 and epithelial cells in vaginal transmission of HIV-1 remain to be elucidated. We hypothesized that cervical epithelial cells are not a passive barrier, but actively respond to HIV-1 to change mucosal milieu and facilitate HIV-1 transmission. We tested this hypothesis by studying the responses of cervical epithelial cells to HIV-1 through profiling genome-wide transcription. We found 1) cervical epithelial cells actively respond to HIV-1. Five hundred forty-three transcripts/genes in cervical epithelial cells were significantly altered in expression at four hours post exposure to HIV-1, of which many relate to important signaling pathways, such as innate immune responses, pattern recognition receptors, apoptosis, biosynthesis, and energy production, 2) HIV-1 increases the expression of CXC Chemokines (IL-8, CXCL1 and CXCL3) in cervical epithelial cells. IL-8 and CXCL1 are potent chemotactic for multinuclear neutrophils (MNP), monocytes and a minority of lymphocytes, and CXCL3 is predominant chemotactic for monocytes, 3) HIV-1 increases the expression of key inflammatory enzymes-COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that are important for homeostatic functions, and COX-2 is a key enzyme to convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, key inflammatory mediators, and 4) the increased expression of IL-8 and COX-2 revealed using microarray analysis was mapped into the endocervical epithelial cells of macaques inoculated with inactivated SIV in vivo. Our date lead to a role model of epithelial cells in HIV-1 vaginal transmission, that is the axis of HIV-1, epithelial cells, proinflammatory molecules (IL-8, CXCL1, CXCL3, COX-1 and COX-2), cell recruitment (MNP, monocytes and T cells), and inflammation. This model implies that moderating epithelial proinflammatory response to HIV-1 may be utilized in prevention of HIV vaginal transmission. Human endocervical epithelial cell line, CRL-2615, was inoculated with HIV-1 ME1 and collected 4hrs post exposure. Biologically duplicated mRNAs were prepared after exposure.

Project description:COVID-19 typically manifests as a respiratory illness but several clinical reports described gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. This is particularly true in children, whom GI symptoms are frequent and viral shedding outlasts viral clearance from the respiratory system. These observations raise the question of whether the virus can replicate within the stomach. Here we show the novel derivation of gastric organoids from fetal, pediatric and adult biopsies and prove their value as in vitro models for SARS-CoV-2 infection. To facilitate infection, we induced a reversed polarity in our organoids (RP-GOs). The pediatric RP-GOs are fully susceptible to infection with SARS-CoV-2, while the viral replication is significantly lower in organoids of fetal and adult origin. Transcriptomic analysis shows a moderate innate antiviral response and the lack of differentially expressed genes belonging to the interferon family. Collectively, we show how the virus can efficiently infect gastric epithelium, suggesting that the stomach might have an active role in fecal-oral SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

Project description:Pre-DC have been initially described through their ontogeny. Our lab reported for the first time a pre-DC functional specificity in the context of HV-1 capture, infection and in vitro transmission as a consequence of their constitutive expression of Siglec-1. However, pre-DC immune response to viral exposure remained to be studied. This study aim to decipher innate immune response of pre-DC when exposed to HIV-1.

Project description:Our earlier studies in pig-tailed macaques demonstrated varying SHIV susceptibility during the menstrual cycle, likely caused by cyclic variations in immune responses in the female genital tract. There is concern that high-dose, long-lasting, injectable progestin-based contraception could mimic the luteal phase and predispose women to HIV-1 acquisition and transmission. In this study, we adopted a systems biology approach employing proteomics (tandem mass spectrometry), transcriptomics (RNA microarray hybridization), and other specific protein assays (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and multiplex chemokine-cytokine measurements) to characterize the effects of hormonal changes on the expression of innate factors and secreted proteins in the macaque vagina. Several antiviral factors and pathways (including acute phase response signaling and complement system) were overexpressed in the follicular phase. Conversely, during the luteal phase there were factors overexpressed (including moesins, syndecans, integrins, among others) that could play direct or indirect roles in enhancing HIV-1 infection. Thus, our study showed that specific pathways and proteins/genes might be working in tandem to regulate innate immunity, thus fostering further investigation and future design of approaches to help counter HIV-1 acquisition in the female genital tract. Samples were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip® Rhesus Macaque Genome Arrays. Vaginal pinch biopsies were collected from 12 pig-tailed macaques at both the follicular and luteal phases. The data from one animal suggested low RNA quality and was excluded.
