Project description:Monocyte-derived macrophages were stimulated with 25 ng/ml of the indicated IFNs or infected with HIV-1-BaL-HSA. Total RNA was isolated 18 h following stimulation/infection using RNeasy minikit (Qiagen). Intact poly(A) RNA was purified from total RNA samples (100 to 500 ng) with oligo(dT) magnetic beads, and stranded mRNA sequencing libraries were prepared as described using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation kit (catalog no. RS-122-2101 and RS-122-2102). Purified libraries were qualified on an Agilent Technologies 2200 TapeStation using a D1000 ScreenTape assay (catalog no. 5067-5582 and 5067-5583). The molarity of adapter-modified molecules was defined by quantitative PCR using the Kapa Biosystems Kapa Library Quant kit (catalog no. KK4824). Individual libraries were normalized to 10 nM, and equal volumes were pooled in preparation for Illumina sequence analysis. Sequencing libraries (25 pM) were chemically denatured and applied to an Illumina HiSeq v4 single-read flow cell using an Illumina cBot system. Hybridized molecules were clonally amplified and annealed to sequencing primers with reagents from an Illumina HiSeq SR cluster kit v4-cBot (catalog no. GD-401-4001). Following transfer of the flow cell to an Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument (HCSv2.2.38 and RTA v1.18.61), a 50-cycle single-read sequence run was performed using HiSeq SBS kit v4 sequencing reagents (catalog no. FC-401-4002).
Project description:HIV is able to outpace the innate immune response, including the response mediated by interferon (IFN), to establish a productive infection. However, monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) may be protected from HIV infection by treatment with type I IFN before virus exposure. The ability of HIV to modulate the type I IFN-mediated innate immune response when it encounters a cell that has already been exposed to IFN was investigated. To investigate the presence of HIV on an established IFN response, MDMs were subjected to four different conditions: (1) IFN-treated only, (2) IFN-treated followed by HIV infection, (3) HIV infected only, and (4) a mock-treated and mock-infected control. Microarray gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 24 samples derived from the 4 conditions assessed at 3 time points (1, 4 and 8 days following treatment/infection) for both IFN-α2 or -ω. Initially, ISGs were identified as those that were upregulated greater than 2-fold by IFN alone (condition 1) at both Days 4 and 8. Then, the IFN-treated condition was compared to the IFN-treated followed by HIV-infection condition in order to identify those ISGs that were downregulated at least 1.5-fold by the presence of HIV at both days. Assuming that it would be counterproductive for HIV infection by itself to induce the expression of ISGs with putative anti-HIV effects, those ISGs that were upregulated greater than 2-fold in the HIV control were removed. Finally, ISGs that passed these filters and were concordant with both IFN-treatments (IFN-α2 and -ω) were identified and corresponded to the following 8 ISGs: AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL), interferon-alpha inducible protein 27 (IFI27), interferon-induced protein 44 (IFI44), interferon-induced protein 44-like (IFI44L), ISG15, OAS1, OAS3 and XIAP associated factor 1 (XAF1). It should be noted that the IFN-α2 and -ω microarray experiments were performed in different batches but batch effects were not corrected since genes were identified by the filtering approach just described within each batch.
Project description:Temporal changes of the expression levels of the complete human transcriptome during the first 24 hours following infection of IFN-pre-treated macrophages. This approach has allowed us to identify genes involved in the IFN signaling that have an impact on HIV-1 infection of macrophages KEYWORDS: time course Purified primary macrophages were treated with 1000 IU/ml of IFNα2, for 18 hours before infection. Pre-treated macrophages were infected with the Bal strain of HIV-1 at an MOI of 1. Uninfected and untreated cells were used for control. Aliquots of cells (3x106 cells) were taken at 0,2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hrs after infection for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. *** No CEL file for Sample GSM757646 MDMs CTL at T0

Project description:Abstract Objectives: HIV infection dysregulates the innate immune system and alters leukocyte gene expression. The objectives were two fold: to characterize the impact of HIV infection on peripheral monocyte gene expression and to identify the predominant factor(s) responsible for altered gene expression. Design and methods: In a cross-sectional study, CD14+ monocytes were isolated from 11 HIV seronegative controls, 22 HIV seropositive subjects with low viral loads (LVL, <= 10,000 RNA copies/ml) and 22 HIV seropositive subjects with high viral loads (HVL, > 10,000 RNA/copies/ml). Total monocyte RNA was hybridized to 55K probes on high-density microarrays to obtained detailed gene expression profiles from control, LVL and HVL subjects. As potential candidates for immune disruption, we evaluated three HIV-related peripheral factors, interferon (IFN)-a, IFN-a and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by treating HIV seronegative CD14+ monocytes for 48h and then analyzing gene expression. Plasma collected from the HIV subjects were quantified for LPS using a Pyrogene assay and for soluble (s) CD14 by ELISA. Results: In this cross-sectional study of HIV subjects (n=44), viral loads above 10,000 RNA copies/ml were associated with an activated phenotype. Characterization of the gene expression pattern by Gene Ontology reveals an ongoing immune response to viral infection including inflammation and chemotaxis. Gene expression analysis of in vitro treated HIV seronegative monocytes with IFN-a, IFN-g or LPS demonstrated that IFN-a most accurately recapitulated the HIV HVL profile. There was no detectable LPS signature even in those HIV subjects with the highest LPS and sCD14 levels. Conclusions: Monocyte gene expression in subjects with viremia is predominantly due to IFN-a, while subjects with LVL have a non-activated phenotype. In monocytes, there was no discernible expression profile linked to LPS exposure.
Project description:Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are commonly reported among HIV-1 infected patients. The increasing prevalence of the most common STI, Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), among HIV-1 infected people suggests a role in HIV-1 infectivity. However, the mechanisms modulating the enhancement of HIV-1 infectivity during HIV-1/STIs coinfection remain elusive. The stimulation of CD4 T cells during CT infection may modulate the expression of specific genes, which in turn enhance the susceptibility and infectivity of CT-specific CD4 T cells to HIV-1 infection. After three days of CT stimulation of PBMCs followed by 3 days of HIV-1 infection, we observed a significant increase in HIV-1 p24 levels among clinically diagnosed C. trachomatis-infected patients as compared to cells from healthy donors. Similarly, ex vivo CT antigen-stimulated PBMCs from healthy donors showed enhanced susceptibility to HIV-1 as compared to unstimulated PBMCs. CT-specific CD4 T cells also harbour more HIV-1 copy numbers as compared to healthy unstimulated CD4 T cells. RNA-seq data revealed the upregulation of CCR chemokine receptors and cytokines in CD4 T cells from CT-stimulated CD4 T cells infected with HIV-1.
Project description:Comparison of total RNA-seq data from ex vivo unstimulated and stimulated (with anti-CD3/CD28) cells from two primary cell models of HIV latency (resting-cell and wild-type virus models) and peripheral CD4+ T cells from HIV-infected ART-suppressed individuals (ex vivo cells). Two donors were analyzed per model.
