A deterministic model for the co-interaction of HIV and malaria in a community is presented and rigorously analyzed. Two sub-models, namely the HIV-only and malaria-only sub-models, are considered first of all. Unlike the HIV-only sub-model, which has a globally-asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium whenever the associated reproduction number is less than unity, the malaria-only sub-model undergoes the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, where a stable disease-free equilibrium co-exists ...[more]

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify differential gene and protein expression associated with GBV-C that may be of importance in reduction of HCV-related liver disease. GB virus C (GBV-C) infection leads to improved outcomes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Furthermore, GBV-C has been shown to reduce hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease in HCV/HIV co-infection. We aimed to identify differential gene expression associated with GBV-C in HCV/HIV co-infection by comparing RNA expression from liver biopsies of HCV/HIV co-infected patients with and without GBV-C infection. Liver biopsies were obtained from 10 Patients with HCV/HIV co-infection; 4 of these patients were positive for GBV-C infection and 6 were negative for GBV-C infection. The tissue was stored in RNAlater and RNA was extracted for hybridisation to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 microarrays at the University of Texas Medical Branch Molecular Genomics Core Laboratory. The data was analysed for genes differentially expressed between GBV-C positive and negative patients using Partek Genomics suite and applying a custom CDF file (Hs133P_Hs_UG_8), available from Molecular and Behavioural Neuroscience Institute, University of Michigan.

Project description:Hepatic complications of HCV infection, including fibrosis and cirrhosis are accelerated in HIV-infected individuals. Although liver biopsy remains the gold standard for staging HCV-associated liver disease, this test can result in serious complications and is subject to sampling error. These challenges have prompted a search for non-invasive methods for liver fibrosis staging. To this end, we compared serum proteome profiles at different stages of fibrosis in HIV/HCV co- and HCV mono-infected patients using SELDI-TOF MS.

Project description:HIV uses dendritic cells as a carrier to infect its target CD4+ T cells. At the same time, it also hampers DCs function in terms of their T cell stimulatory capacity and cytokine secretion. We have shown that HIV causes reduction in the expression of co-stimulatory molecules, CD80 and CD86 by DCs at the mRNA level irrespective of the viral subtype or the mode in DC-HIV interaction. The microarray experiments were performed to understand the changes in the transcription factor profile of HIV infected DCs which may in turn lead to reduced CD80/CD86 expression as well as the effect of HIV infection on other co-stimulatory molecules on DCs. The data suggests that TFs NFKB1, NFKB2, REL and MYB may be responsible for the observed decrease in CD80 and CD86 expression and that HIV infection also hampers the expression of other co-stimulatory molecules like CD70, CD30, 4-1BB, OX40L etc.

Agilent Quick-Amp Labelling kit (p/n 5190-0444) was used to synthesize the labeled cDNA from 3 ug of total RNA and further process the hybridized cDNA on the array. All the steps were carried out according to manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions (www.agilent.com/chem/dnamauals-protocol). The array slides were scanned immediately using high throughput Agilent scanner with SureScan technology. Agilent feature extraction software was used for normalization and statistical analysis,. Pathway and gene ontology analysis was done using Genespring GX v 10.0 and biointerpreter software. The experiments were performed on DCs cultured from two independent donors. The differential expression was considered if the Log 2 mean of at least -1 for the down regulated genes and +1 for the upregulated genes. We considered only the genes that were differentially regulated genes in both the donors.

Project description:Background: Hepatitis B (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection is a common occurrence globally, with significant morbidity and mortality. Both viruses lead to dysregulated immune responses including changes in natural killer (NK) cells, a key component of antiviral defense and a promising target for HBV cure strategies. In this study we used high-throughput single cell analysis to explore the immune cell landscape in people with HBV mono-infection and HIV/HBV co-infection, on antiviral therapy, with emphasis on identifying the distinctive characteristics of NK cell subsets. Results: Our data show striking differences in the transcriptional programs of NK cells. HIV/HBV co-infection was characterized by an overrepresentation of adaptive, KLRC2 expressing NK cells, including a higher abundance of a chemokine enriched (CCL3/CCL4) adaptive cluster. The NK cell remodeling in HIV/HBV co-infection was reflected in enriched activation pathways shared with T cells, including CD3 phosphorylation and ZAP-70 translocation that can mediate stronger ADCC responses and a bias towards chemokine/cytokine signaling. By contrast HBV mono-infection imposed a stronger cytotoxic profile on NK cells and a more prominent signature of exhaustion with higher circulating levels of HBsAg. Mirroring the transcriptomic analysis, phenotypic alterations in the NK cell pool in co-infection were consistent with increased ‘adaptiveness’ and better capacity for ADCC compared to HBV mono-infection. Overall an adaptive NK cell signature correlated inversely with circulating levels of HBsAg and HBV-RNA in our cohort. Conlcusions: This study provides new insights into the differential transcriptional signature and functional profile of NK cells in HBV and HIV/HBV co-infection, highlighting new pathways that can be manipulated to tailor NK cell-focused approaches to advance cure strategies in the different population groups.

Project description:Background and aims: The intrahepatic processes associated with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), especially in the context of HDV and HIV co-infection, require a better understanding. Spatial transcriptomics can provide new insights into the complex intrahepatic biological processes, guiding new personalized treatments. Our aim is to evaluate this method to characterize the hepatic transcriptional landscape, cellular composition and biological pathways in liver biopsy samples from patients infected with HBV and HDV or HIV co-infection. Method: The GeoMx nanostring Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) platform was employed to assess expression of HBsAg and CD45 in formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) biopsies from three treatment-naïve patients with chronic HBV and HDV or HIV co-infection. The GeoMx whole transcriptome human atlas assay quantified the expression of genes enriched in specific regions of interest (ROIs). Cell type proportions within ROIs were deconvoluted using a training matrix from the human liver cell atlas. A weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) evaluated transcriptomic signatures across sampled regions. Results: We identified spatially discrete transcriptomic signatures and distinct biological pathways that associate with HBV infection/disease status and immune responses. Shared features including cytotoxicity and B cell receptor signaling were consistent across patients, suggesting common elements alongside individual traits. HDV/HBV co-infection exhibited upregulated genes linked to apoptosis and immune cell recruitment, whereas HIV/HBV co-infection featured genes related to interferon response regulation. Varied cellular characteristics and immune cell populations, with an abundance of T cells in the HDV/HBV sample, were observed within analyzed regions. Transcriptional differences in hepatocyte function suggest disrupted metabolic processes in HDV/HBV co-infection potentially impacting disease progression. Conclusion: This proof-of-principle study shows the value of this platform in investigating the complex immune landscape highlighting relevant host pathways to disease pathogenesis.
