Project description:People living with HIV (PWH) often exhibit poor responses to influenza vaccination despite effective combination anti-retroviral (ART) mediated viral suppression. There exists a paucity of data in identifying immune correlates of influenza vaccine response in context of HIV infection that would be useful in improving its efficacy in PWH, especially in younger individuals. Transcriptomic data were obtained by microarray from whole blood isolated from aviremic pediatric and adolescent HIV-infected individuals (4-25 yrs) given two doses of Novartis/H1N1 09 vaccine during the pandemic H1N1 influenza outbreak. Supervised clustering and gene set enrichment identified contrasts between individuals exhibiting high and low antibody responses to vaccination. High responders exhibited hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers >1:40 post-first dose and 4-fold increase over baseline. Baseline molecular profiles indicated increased gene expression in metabolic stress pathways in low responders compared to high responders. Inflammation-related and interferon-inducible gene expression pathways were higher in low responders 3 wks post-vaccination. The broad age range and developmental stage of participants in this study prompted additional analysis by age group (e.g. <13yrs and >13yrs). This analysis revealed differential enrichment of gene pathways before and after vaccination in the two age groups. Notably, CXCR5, a homing marker expressed on T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, was enriched in high responders (>13yrs) following vaccination which was accompanied by peripheral Tfh expansion. Our results comprise a valuable resource of immune correlates of vaccine response to pandemic influenza in HIV infected children that may be used to identify favorable targets for improved vaccine design in different age groups.

Project description:Objective: To elucidate molecular mechanisms of neurocognitive dysfunction in long-term HIV-infected individuals by assessing the microRNA (miR) profile and determining clinical and neurocognitive correlates to miR expression. Design: Analysis of miR profile in frontal cortex of retrospectively-identified autopsy cases of longitudinally-followed subjects with HIV-infection and age/sex-matched controls. HIV-subjects had semi-annual neuropsychiatric and clinical testing, at autopsy, tissue was archived. Methods: MiR repertoires were profiled from frontal cortices. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey Honestly Sigificant Difference (HSD) tests with Benjamini-Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons were used to compare expression among the three groups. Pairwise correlations were used to identify neuropsychiatric variable that correlatee with expression of miRs. Results: MiRs were significantly different by HIV-status: miR-103, miR-125a, miR-380, miR-422a, miR-515, miR-520b, miR0618, miR-886, and miR-9. Many miRs correlated with neuropsychiatric outcomes like Learning, Memory, Executive, Verbal, and Motor deficit scores. Conclusions: MiRs are clearly dysregulated in the frontal cortex of HIV-positive individuals. Only a few miRs were significantly dysregulated in only the methamphetamine group. Our study identifies miRs that form rational targets for further inquiry on biochemical mechanisms of HIV-related neurocognitive deficits. Learning deficit score correlates with expression of more miRs than other parameters. A total of 11 HIV positive individuals were analyzed, 5 of which had a past history of methamphetamine ABUSE, and 5 age-matched HIV-negative normal Controls. Technical duplicates are included. Included are clinical and neuropsychiatric data from most recent visit before time of death. This is a retrospective autopsy study of longitudinally-followed subjects on miRNA levels in the frontal cortex.

Project description:HIV-1 infection of resting memory CD4+ T cells forms a barrier to curing HIV-1. Identification of immune biomarkers that correlate with HIV-1 reservoir size could aid with assessing efficacy of HIV-1 eradication strategies, especially in pediatric infections where blood sampling is limited. In adults, the immune exhaustion marker PD-1 on central memory CD4+ T cells (Tcm) correlates with HIV-1 reservoir size. Immune correlates of HIV-1 reservoir size are less defined in perinatal infection. Using multi-parameter flow cytometry, we examined immune activation (CD69, CD25, HLA-DR), and exhaustion (PD-1, TIGIT, LAG-3 and TIM-3) markers on CD4+ T cell subsets (naïve (Tn), central memory (Tcm), and a combination (Ttem) of transitional (Ttm) and effector memory (Tem) in 10 children living with HIV-1 (median age 15.9 years; median duration of virologic suppression 7.0 years), in whom HIV-1 reservoir size was determined with both the Intact Proviral HIV-1 DNA assay (IPDA) and the Tat/Rev limiting dilution assay (TILDA). Total HIV-1 DNA in CD4+ T cells was also measured. Correlations between immune activation, and exhaustion markers on T cell subsets with the various markers of proviral reservoir size, and baseline CD4+ T cell transcriptomes were examined. The median total HIV-1 DNA concentration was 211.9 copies per million CD4+ T cells, with a median intact proviral load in individuals with HIV-1 subtype B of 8.0 copies per million CD4+ T cells. Levels of HLA-DR and TIGIT on Ttem were strongly correlated with total HIV-1 DNA (r=0.758, p=0.015) and (r=0.721, p=0.023), respectively, but not with intact proviral load or inducible reservoir size. HIV-1 DNA load was also positively correlated with transcriptional clusters associated with HLA-DR. In contrast, PD-1 expression on Tcm was inversely correlated with both total HIV-1 DNA (r=-0.67, p=0.039) and HLA-DR in Ttem (r=-0.89, p=0.060). Gene expression profiles for HLA-DR and PD-1 were also inversely correlated. In conclusion, with virologically suppressed perinatal HIV-1 infection, HLA-DR and TIGIT on Ttem CD4+ T cells correlate with total HIV-1 DNA, and may serve as immune biomarkers for transcriptionally active proviruses, including defectives persisting on ART.

Project description:We sought to determine how gene expression changes during the first two years of HIV-1 infection among participants from HIV-1 serodiscordant couple cohorts from sub-Saharan Africa. This study included whole blood samples from 26 participants who did not have HIV-1 at study enrollment, had a steady sexual relationship with a partner with HIV-1 and acquired HIV-1 during follow-up. Most participants had samples from before and after infection.

Project description:In study NCT00594880, we successfully administered weekly doses of pegylated interferon-α-2a (Peg-IFN-α2a) with antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 5 weeks, before continued Peg-IFN-α2a monotherapy to 12 weeks (primary endpoint) in chronic HIV-infected subjects. Subjects maintaining HIV viral load <400 copies/ml by primary endpoint were defined as responders. We now describe innate immune correlates and transcriptional profiles associated with viral control and decrease in integrated HIV DNA after Peg-IFN-α2a immunotherapy. Peripheral blood samples were obtained prior to Peg-IFN-α2a administration (ART), after 5 weeks of ART+Peg-IFN-α2a dual treatment, and after 12 weeks of Peg-IFN-α2a monotherapy. Cell subset modulation, natural killer cell (NK) function and signaling, as well as inflammatory mediators and gene expression were assessed. Results were analyzed using R.2.5.1 or MATLAB 7.10.0. Five weeks of ART+Peg-IFN-α2a preserved the frequency of immune subsets and NK cytotoxicity, while increased the levels of inflammatory mediators, and decreased cell-responsiveness to in vitro IFN-α re-stimulation. Gene expression analysis showed that induction of host restriction factors after ART+Peg-IFN-α2a was not solely predictive of a virologic response, and revealed a 108 gene signature that identified subjects who did not modulate genes after ART+Peg-IFN-α2a. A 29 gene signature along with higher NK cell activation and IFN-γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10) levels on ART, as well as higher in vitro responses to IFN-γ-induced NK cytotoxicity, and decrease in the frequency of NK bearing inhibitory receptors [i.e. killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, two domains, long cytoplasmic tail 1 (KIR2DL1) or KIR2DL2/DL3] and C-C chemokine receptor type 7+ (CCR7) myeloid dendritic cells after ART+Peg-IFN-α2a distinguished responders from non-responders. Reductions in integrated HIV DNA after immunotherapy were associated with expression patterns of genes that are associated with activated cell-mediated response and NK cytotoxicity. In summary, innate activation and NK cell cytotoxicity are identified as correlates of HIV control and reduction after Peg-IFN-α2a immunotherapy in ART-suppressed subjects.

Project description:Successful development of HIV-vaccination strategies will also depend on the ability to use novel approaches to analyse and integrate immunogenicity data generated in vaccine trials. The ANRS VAC 18 trial evaluated the immunogenicity of HIV-LIPO-5 vaccine (5 HIV peptides coupled to a palmytoil tail) administered at W0, 4, 12 and 24 in healthy volunteers. 62-69% of vaccinees developed HIV-specific ELISpot responses by W26. Here we present extensive immunogenicity assessments in a subset of vaccinees using ELISpot, lymphoproliferation, intracellular cytokine staining (ICS), cytokine multiplex and transcriptomic analyses. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from volunteers collected before and following vaccinations were stimulated with HIV LIPO 5 vaccine, Gag peptides contained or not in the vaccine as controls. Different time points and stimulation conditions were compared, using false discovery rate to control for test multiplicity. 74% and 30% of vaccinees had cultured ELISpot and lymphoproliferation responses at W14, respectively. Ex-vivo ICS showed mainly single IL-2 producing cells. Secretion of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-5, and IL-13 increased significantly in response to Gag stimulation after culture at W14 compared to W0. An induction of metallothionein genes was consistently detected after HIV-LIPO-5 stimulation at W0 and W14 related to the adjuvant effect of the lipid tail. After vaccination (W14), significant probes increased substantially (>1200 probes) including IFN-γ, CXCL9, IL2RA, TNFAIP6, CCL3L1 and IL-6 W14 (fold change > 100%). In conclusion, HIV LIPO-5 vaccination elicited memory precursor responses with a Th1 and Th2 profile. The signature profile before vaccination provides information about the adjuvant effect of the lipid tail. Consistently with cytokine responses, vaccination is associated with a modulation in gene expression. This combined approach allowed to identify new signatures of HIV vaccine response and indicates that HIV-LIPO-5 could be further developed as a prime component of heterologous prime boost strategies. PBMC mRNA of 12 healthy volunteers, stimulate in four different conditions (HIV-LIPO-5, Gag+, Gag-, NS) during 6 and 24 hours before and after vaccination (week 0 and week 14)
