Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE33387: NanoString miRNA profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-1-infected elite suppressors, viremic patients, and uninfected control donors GSE33492: TaqMan Peripheral blood mononuclear cell miRNA profiles of HIV-1-infected elite suppressors, viremic patients, and uninfected control donors Refer to individual Series
Project description:This study used the NanoString nCounter hybridization system and nCounter miRNA expression assays to identify and quantitate circulating cellular miRNAs during HIV-1 elite suppression, active HIV-1 replication, and uninfected status. Blood samples were from eight uninfected controls, seven HIV-1 elite suppressors with undetectable viral load, and six viremic HIV-1-infected patients.
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of CD4 T cells from uninfected and HIV-infected individuals (viremic, ART-suppressed and elite controllers [EC]) The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 485,577 CpGs in DNA from peripheral CD4 T cells samples. Samples included: 22 from HIV-uninfected individuals (uninfected group), 42 from HIV-infected individuals (21 from HIV-infected viremic (viremic group) and 21 from the same participants after viral suppression (viral load< 50 copies HIV-1 RNA/plasma) by antiretroviral therapy administrarion (ART group), and 21 from elite controllers (EC group)
Project description:This study used TaqMan low-density arrays to identify and quantitate circulating cellular miRNAs during HIV-1 elite suppression, active HIV-1 replication, and uninfected status. Blood samples were from six uninfected controls, six HIV-1 elite suppressors with undetectable viral load, and six viremic HIV-1-infected patients.

Project description:Elite Long-Term Nonprogressors are asymptomatic HIV-infected individuals who display long-term virtually undetectable viremia, stable CD4 T cell counts and extremeley low levels of HIV reservoir, in the absence of antiretroviral therapy. We conducted a whole-genome transcriptional profiling study of sorted resting CD4 T cell subsets (naive, central memory, transitional memory and effector memory) in 7 Elite Long-Term Nonprogressors, 7 HIV-infected viremic and 7 uninfected individuals. HIV-1 cellular DNA levels were quantified in each sorted CD4 T cell subset
Project description:Background: The emerging relationship between microRNAs (miRNA) and viral-control is a topic of interest in the field of HIV. Host-genome might play an important role in the control of viremia. The aim of this study was to assess the specific miRNA profile that could contribute to the control of HIV replication in Elite Controllers. Results: After adequate normalization, expression profile of 286 human miRNAs (hsa-miR) was evaluated in 29 individuals classified in 4 groups: 8 elite controllers (EC; viral load <50 cp/ml without treatment), 8 viremic progressors (VP; VL>5000 cp/ml without treatment), 8 patients under antiretroviral treatment (ART; VL<200cp/ml) and 5 uninfected individuals (HIV-) through TaqMan® Array Human microRNA Cards v3.0. A differential expression pattern consisting of 23 miRNAs overcame significantly different when comparing EC and VP. Profiling analysis segregated the population in two different blocks: while EC and HIV- clustered together in the same block (EC/HIV-_block 1), VP and ART individuals clustered together in a second block (VP/ART_block 2). Two inversely expressed miRNA patterns were determined within those two blocks: a set of 4 miRNAs (hsa-miR-221, -27a, -27b and -29b) was up-expressed in EC/HIV-_block and down-expressed in VP/ART_block while 19 miRNAs were down-expressed in block 1 and up-expressed in block 2. Differential miRNAs were successfully validated through individual RT-qPCR assays. Conclusions: Profile in EC resembled HIV- and differentially clusters with VP and ART. Therefore, differential clustering does not rely on undetectable viremia. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples were from five uninfected controls, eight viremic HIV-1-infected patients, eight HIV-1 elite controllers with undetectable viral load and eight HIV-1antiretroviral treated individuals with undetectable viral load.
Project description:The relationship between host microRNAs (miRNA), viral control and immune response has not been elucidated in the field of HIV yet. The aim of this study was to assess the differential miRNA profile in CD8+ T-cells between HIV-infected individuals who differ in terms of disease progression. A total of 136 RNAs (miRNAs) were analyzed: 68 RNAs from resting CD8+ T-cells and the respective 68 RNAs from stimulated CD8+ T-cells from Elite Controllers (EC, n=15), Viremic Controllers (VC, n=15), Viremic Progressors (VP, n=13), Treated Patients (ART, n=14) and Uninfect Donors (HIV-, n=11).
