Project description:Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) has been explored as a vaccine vector for use against infectious diseases and cancer. MVA is an immunogenic, attenuated poxvirus capable of eliciting robust cellular and humoral responses in pre-clinical animal models and in patients. However, upon infection with MVA, cells undergo rapid apoptosis leading to faster clearance of recombinant antigens. The fragmentation of the anti-apoptotic gene B13R in MVA could contribute to this effect. Here, we replaced the fragmented B13R with a functional version and observed that MVA-B13R infected HeLa cells and muscle cell lines delayed caspase 3 activation compared to MVA indicating slower progression of apoptosis. For immunogenicity studies, mice were intramuscularly immunized with recombinant MVA or MVA-B13R expressing SIV Gag, Pol and HIV Env (SHIV). We observed higher Env-specific humoral responses from MVA-B13R SHIV compared to MVA SHIV mice. To determine differences in the innate immune response that may have contributed to the augmented humoral response, we performed RNA-Seq analysis on draining lymph node cells after immunization. Gene set enrichment analysis from day 1 after immunization showed that MVA-B13R SHIV immunizations were associated with a negative enrichment for type I and II interferon responses compared to MVA SHIV mice indicating MVA-B13R SHIV induces a delayed anti-viral interferon response that may lead to the enhanced humoral response observed. Taken together, these results demonstrate that restoring B13R functionality in MVA significantly delays MVA-induced apoptosis, augments Env-specific antibody responses, and is associated with reduced interferon-alpha and interferon-gamma responses induced after vaccination.

Project description:We sought to test whether vaccine-induced immune responses could protect rhesus macaques (RMs) against upfront heterologous challenges with an R5 simian-human immunodeficiency virus, SHIV-2873Nip. We immunized the RMs with recombinant Env proteins heterologous to the challenge virus. For induction of immune responses against Gag, Tat, and Nef, we explored a strategy of immunization with overlapping synthetic peptides (OSP). The immune responses against Gag and Tat were finally boosted with recombinant proteins. The vaccinees and a group of ten control animals were given five low-dose intrarectal (i.r.) challenges with SHIV-2873Nip. All controls and seven out of eight vaccinees became systemically infected; there was no significant difference in viremia levels of vaccinees vs. controls. Prevention of viremia was observed in one vaccinee which showed strong boosting of virus-specific cellular immunity during virus exposures. The protected animal showed no challenge virus-specific neutralizing antibodies in the TZM-bl or A3R5 cell-based assays and had low level ADCC activity after the virus exposures. Microarray data strongly supported a role for cellular immunity in the protected animal. Our study represents a case of protection against heterologous tier 2 SHIV-C by vaccine-induced, virus-specific cellular immune responses.

Project description:HIV-infected persons are at increased risk for developing pulmonary diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the fungal opportunistic pathogen, Pneumocystis jirovecii (Pc) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of HIV-related COPD. We previously developed a non-human primate model of HIV-related COPD using simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) and Pc co-infection in cynomolgus macaques. In the present study we examined gene expression profiles in lung tissue from SHIV/Pc co-infected monkeys with COPD and compared them to SHIV-infected monkeys infected with normal lung function. Microarray technology was used to develop gene profiles, and differential gene expression was determined by a comparative evaluation of competing normalization methods applied to our expression data set followed by validation using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis for select genes. Of over 52,000 transcripts representing more than 20,000 genes analyzed, the SHIV/Pc infected macaques with COPD exhibited 243 differentially expressed (DE) genes compared to SHIV-infected monkeys with normal lung function. DE genes fell into a number of functional categories which may be important in COPD development including: inflammation (pulmonary surfactants A2, B, C, D, upregulated; alternative macrophage activation-associated CC chemokine, upregulated), protease/antiprotease balance (cathepsin H, upregulated; alpha-1-chymotrypsin and secretory leukocyte peptidase inhibitor, downregulated), redox balance (glutathione peroxidase 4 and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, upregulated) and tissue homeostasis (connective tissue growth factor, downregulated; ornithine decarboxylase antizyme, upregulated). These results identify factors and pathways that may be involved in early development of Pneumocystis and SHIV-associated COPD and reveal several novel, potential therapeutic targets. There are totally 11 samples in the experiment. The sample breakdown is as follows: KN14(group 1) is a true control in that the monkey was not infected with simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) nor was it colonized with Pneumocystis. KN02, KN03, KN07 and KN08 (group 2) are also controls of a sort. They were infected with SHIV but they did not become colonized with Pneumocystis. The remainder (KN01, KN04, KN06, KN11, KN12, KN13) (group3) were both infected with SHIV and colonized with Pneumocystis. The primary interest is in comparing the two SHIV-infected groups (2 and 3)

Our study represents a case of protection against heterologous tier 2 SHIV-C by vaccine-induced, virus-specific cellular immune responses. For the protected RM, blood was collected before vaccination, on the day of first virus exposure and six weeks after last virus challenge. Lymph node and rectal pinch biopsies were performed before vaccination and six weeks after last virus challenge. Blood was collected in tempus tubes and processed immediately according to the manufacturer’s instructions and stored at -80C. The biopsy specimens were cut into small pieces and immediately placed into RNAlater solution (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and also stored at -80C. Total RNA from blood, lymph node and rectal biopsies was extracted using RNAeasy extraction kits (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). cDNA labeling, hybridization, staining and scanning were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) for rhesus gene expression arrays.

Project description:Treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases with tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonists has been associated with increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). We examined the usefulness of the rabbit model of active pulmonary TB for studying the impact of the human immune modulatory reagent etanercept on the host immune response. Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, disease pathology and the global transcriptional response in Mtb-infected lungs of rabbits were studied. Etanercept treatment exacerbated disease pathology and reduced bacillary control in the lungs, compared to infected untreated animals. The microarray experiments involves comparison of changes in gene expression between Mtb-HN878 infected and Etanercept treated and untreated rabbit lungs at 4 and 8 weeks post-treatment, starting at 4 weeks post-infection.

Project description:Identifying immune correlates of protection is a major challenge in AIDS vaccine development. Anti-Envelope antibodies have been considered critical against SIV/HIV acquisition. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of a SHIV vaccine against SIVmac251 challenge, where the role of antibody was excluded as there was no cross-reactivity between SIV and SHIV Envelope antibodies. After eight low-dose rectal challenges with SIVmac251, 12 SHIV-vaccinated animals demonstrated 83% efficacy, compared to six naïve controls, suggesting protection could be achieved in the absence of anti-Envelope antibodies. Interestingly, CD8+ T cells (and some NK cells) were not essential for the preventing viral acquisition, as none of the CD8-depleted macaques was infected by SIVmac251 challenges. Initial investigation of protective innate immunity revealed that protected animals had elevated pathways related to platelet aggregation/activation, and reduced pathways related to interferon and responses to virus. Moreover, higher expression of platelet factor 4 (PF4) on circulating platelet-leukocyte aggregates was associated with reduced viral acquisition. Our data highlighted the importance of innate immunity and may provide new opportunities for novel HIV vaccines or therapeutic strategy development.
