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.
