Genotypic prediction of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 tropism by use of plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the routine clinical laboratory.

ABSTRACT: We developed a sequencing assay for genotypic HIV-1 tropism determination. The assay allows examination of HIV RNA from plasma and HIV DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), including PBMC samples from patients with undetectable viral loads. Assessment of 100 pairs of plasma and PBMC samples showed a high concordance of 90%. With the limitations of population-based sequencing, the assay was found to be robust and suitable for the routine clinical laboratory.

Genotypic prediction of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 CRF02-AG tropism.

Project description:We assessed the performance of genotypic algorithms for predicting the tropism of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 coreceptor usage in 52 patients infected with the CRF02-AG subtype. The combined criteria of the 11/25 and net charge rules accurately detected CXCR4-using CRF02-AG viruses, whereas the Geno2pheno tool lacked sensitivity and the position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) tool WebPSSM lacked specificity.

Discordance between genotypic and phenotypic drug resistance profiles in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Project description:The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between genotypic and phenotypic drug resistance profiles of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains isolated from patients during double-analogue nucleoside therapy. A drug-resistant HIV strain was isolated from 20 out of 25 patients, with 16 (64%) subjects carrying a virus with multiple drug resistance mutations. The most frequent resistance mutations were M184V (18 isolates) and M41L (7 isolates). Discordance between the genotypic and phenotypic profile for at least one drug was detected in 16 out of 25 strains. Particularly, eight isolates had a discordant genotypic-phenotypic resistance pattern for two drugs and one isolate had such a pattern for three drugs. A genotypic resistance pattern with a phenotypic sensitivity profile was detected in six isolates (four resistant to zidovudine and two resistant to lamivudine). On the other hand for several strains a genotypic pattern of sensitivity pattern to abacavir (10 strains), didanosine (7 strains), stavudine (3 strains), zidovudine (2 strains), and lamivudine (1 strain) with a phenotypic resistance profile was detected. After a follow-up period of 8 months, an impairment of virological and immunological parameters was detected only in subjects with an HIV-1 isolate with a phenotypic resistance profile in despite of the genotypic results. Predicting resistance phenotype from genotypic data has important limitations. Despite the low number of patients and the short follow-up period, this study suggests that during failing therapy with analogue nucleosides, a phenotypic analysis could be performed in spite of an HIV genotypic sensitivity pattern.

Genotypic prediction of HIV-1 subtype D tropism.

Project description:BACKGROUND: HIV-1 subtype D infections have been associated with rapid disease progression and phenotypic assays have shown that CXCR4-using viruses are very prevalent. Recent studies indicate that the genotypic algorithms used routinely to assess HIV-1 tropism may lack accuracy for non-B subtypes. Little is known about the genotypic determinants of HIV-1 subtype D tropism. RESULTS: We determined the HIV-1 coreceptor usage for 32 patients infected with subtype D by both a recombinant virus phenotypic entry assay and V3-loop sequencing to determine the correlation between them. The sensitivity of the Geno2pheno10 genotypic algorithm was 75% and that of the combined 11/25 and net charge rule was 100% for predicting subtype D CXCR4 usage, but their specificities were poor (54% and 68%). We have identified subtype D determinants in the V3 region associated with CXCR4 use and built a new simple genotypic rule for optimizing the genotypic prediction of HIV-1 subtype D tropism. We validated this algorithm using an independent GenBank data set of 67 subtype D V3 sequences of viruses of known phenotype. The subtype D genotypic algorithm was 68% sensitive and 95% specific for predicting X4 viruses in this data set, approaching the performance of genotypic prediction of HIV-1 subtype B tropism. CONCLUSION: The genotypic determinants of HIV-1 subtype D coreceptor usage are slightly different from those for subtype B viruses. Genotypic predictions based on a subtype D-specific algorithm appear to be preferable for characterizing coreceptor usage in epidemiological and pathophysiological studies.

Genotypic prediction of HIV-1 CRF01-AE tropism.

Project description:HIV-1 subtype CRF01-AE predominates in south Asia and has spread throughout the world. The virus tropism must be determined before using CCR5 antagonists. Genotypic methods could be used, but the prediction algorithms may be inaccurate for non-B subtypes like CRF01-AE and the correlation with the phenotypic approach has not been assessed. We analyzed 61 CRF01-AE V3 clonal sequences of known phenotype from the GenBank database. The sensitivity of the Geno2pheno10 genotypic algorithm was 91%, but its specificity was poor (54%). In contrast, the combined 11/25 and net charge rule was highly specific (98%) but rather insensitive (64%). We thus identified subtype CRF01-AE determinants in the V3 region that are associated with CXCR4 use and developed a new simple rule for optimizing the genotypic prediction of CRF01-AE tropism. The concordance between the predicted CRF01-AE genotype and the phenotype was 95% for the clonal data set. We then validated this algorithm by analyzing the data from 44 patients infected with subtype CRF01-AE, whose tropism was determined using a recombinant phenotypic entry assay and V3-loop bulk sequencing. The CRF01-AE genotypic tool was 70% sensitive and 96% specific for predicting CXCR4 use, and the concordance between genotype and phenotype was 84%, approaching the concordance obtained for predicting the tropism of HIV-1 subtype B. Genotypic predictions that use a subtype CRF01-AE-specific algorithm appear to be preferable for characterizing coreceptor usage both in pathophysiological studies and for ensuring the appropriate use of CCR5 antagonists.

Functional genomics analyses of differential macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cell infections by human immunodeficiency virus-1 and simian immunodeficiency virus.

Project description:The pathogenicity of the primate lentiviruses, human, and simian immunodeficiency viruses, is host-specific. Previous studies indicated that the highly pathogenic human lentivirus HIV-1 has markedly reduced pathogenicity compared to the pathogenic simian lentivirus SIV in pigtail macaques (Macaca nemestrina). We therefore hypothesized that the pigtail macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells (mPBMCs) would respond differently to infections of HIV-1 and pathogenic SIV. To elucidate the cellular responses to the infections of HIV-1 and SIV, we infected mPBMC with these two viruses. Like infections in vivo, HIV-1 and SIV demonstrated distinct replication kinetics in mPBMCs, with HIV-1 replicating at significantly lower levels. Similarly, gene expression profiling facilitated by macaque-specific oligonucleotide microarrays also revealed distinct expression patterns of genes between the HIV-1- and SIV-infected mPBMCs; in particular, genes associated with the antigen presentation, T cell receptor, ERK/MAPK signaling, Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, and natural killer cell signaling pathways were differentially regulated between these two viruses. Most interestingly, despite the lower levels of replication, HIV-1 triggered a more robust regulation of immune response genes early after infection; the converse was true in SIV-infected mPBMCs. Our results therefore suggest that macaques may be controlling the infection of HIV-1 at an early stage through coordinated regulation of host defense pathways.

Generation of a chimeric human and simian immunodeficiency virus infectious to monkey peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Project description:We constructed five chimeric clones between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVMAC) and four SIVMAC mutants by recombinant DNA techniques. Three chimeric clones and all mutants with an alteration in either the vif, vpx, vpr, or nef gene were infectious to human CD4-positive cell lines. The susceptibility of macaque monkey peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to infection by these mutants and chimeras was examined in vitro. Macaque PBMC supported the replication of wild-type and vpx, vpr, and nef mutant SIVMAC strains. A chimera carrying the long terminal repeats (LTRs), gag, pol, vif, and vpx of SIVMAC and tat, rev, vpu, and env of HIV-1 was also replication competent in PBMC. In contrast, HIV-1, the vif mutant of SIVMAC, a chimera containing rev and env of SIVMAC, and a chimera containing vpx, vpr, tat, rev, and env of SIVMAC did not grow in PBMC. Western immunoblotting analysis of the replicating chimera in PBMC confirmed the hybrid nature of the virus. These data strongly suggested that the sequence important for macaque cell tropism lies within the LTR, gag, pol, and/or vif sequences of the SIVMAC genome.

Absence of detectable xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus in plasma or peripheral blood mononuclear cells of human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected blood donors or individuals in Africa.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Since the identification of xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) in prostate cancer patients in 2006 and in chronic fatigue syndrome patients in 2009, conflicting findings have been reported regarding its etiologic role in human diseases and prevalence in general populations. In this study, we screened both plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) collected in Africa from blood donors and human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals to gain evidence of XMRV infection in this geographic region. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:A total of 199 plasma samples, 19 PBMNC samples, and 50 culture supernatants from PBMNCs of blood donors from Cameroon found to be infected with HIV-1 and HIV-1 patients from Uganda were screened for XMRV infection using a sensitive nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or reverse transcription (RT)-PCR assay. RESULTS:Using highly sensitive nested PCR or RT-PCR and real-time PCR assays capable of detecting at least 10 copies of XMRV plasmid DNA per reaction, none of the 268 samples tested were found to be XMRV DNA or RNA positive. CONCLUSIONS:Our results failed to demonstrate the presence of XMRV infection in African blood donors or individuals infected with HIV-1. More studies are needed to understand the prevalence, epidemiology, and geographic distribution of XMRV infection worldwide.

Nonrandom distribution of hepatitis C virus quasispecies in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cell subsets.

Project description:The existence of an extrahepatic reservoir of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is suggested by differences in quasispecies composition between the liver, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and serum. We studied HCV RNA compartmentalization in the plasma of nine patients, in CD19(+), CD8(+), and CD4(+) positively selected cells, and also in the negatively selected cell fraction (NF). HCV RNA was detected in all plasma samples, in seven of nine CD19(+), three of eight CD8(+), and one of nine CD4(+) cell samples, and in seven of eight NF cells. Cloning and sequencing of HVR1 in two patients showed a sequence grouping: quasispecies from a given compartment (all studied compartments for one patient and CD8(+) and NF for the other) were statistically more genetically like each other than like quasispecies from any other compartment. The characteristics of amino acid and nucleotide substitutions suggested the same structural constraints on HVR1, even in very divergent strains from the cellular compartments, and homogeneous selection pressure on the different compartments. These findings demonstrate the compartmental distribution of HCV quasispecies within peripheral blood cell subsets and have important implications for the study of extrahepatic HCV replication and interaction with the immune system.

A lymph node-derived cytopathic simian immunodeficiency virus Mne variant replicates in nonstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Project description:Lymph nodes (LNs) are sites of active human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication and disease at both early and late stages of infection. Consequently, variant viruses that replicate efficiently and subsequently cause immune dysfunction may be harbored in this tissue. To determine whether LN-associated SIVs have an increased capacity to replicate and induce cytopathology, a molecular clone of SIV was isolated directly from DNA extracted from unpassaged LN tissue of a pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina) infected with SIVMne. The animal had declining CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts at the time of the LN biopsy. In human CD4+ T-cell lines, the LN-derived virus, SIVMne027, replicated with relatively slow kinetics and was minimally cytopathic and non-syncytium inducing compared to other SIVMne clones. However, in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated pig-tailed macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), SIVMne027 replicated efficiently and was highly cytopathic for the CD4+ T-cell population. Interestingly, unlike other SIVMne clones, SIVMne027 also replicated to a high level in nonstimulated macaque PBMCs. High-level replication depended on the presence of both the T-cell and monocyte/macrophage populations and could be enhanced by interleukin-2 (IL-2). Finally, the primary determinant governing the ability of SIVMne027 to replicate in nonstimulated and IL-2-stimulated PBMCs mapped to gag-pol-vif. Together, these data demonstrate that LNs may harbor non-syncytium-inducing, cytopathic viruses that replicate efficiently and are highly responsive to the effects of cytokines such as IL-2.

A novel denaturing heteroduplex tracking assay for genotypic prediction of HIV-1 tropism.

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is characterized by sequence variability. The third variable region (V3) of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 plays a key role in determination of viral coreceptor usage (tropism) and pathogenesis. This report describes a novel denaturing heteroduplex tracking assay (HTA) to analyze the genetic variation of HIV-1 V3 DNA. It improved upon previous non-denaturing HTA approaches to distinguish HIV-1 CCR5 and CXCR4 tropic viruses in mixed populations. The modifications included the use of a single-stranded fluorescent probe based on the consensus V3 sequence of HIV-1 CCR5 tropic viruses, Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) "clamps" at both ends of heteroduplex DNA, and denaturing gel electrophoresis using Mutation Detection Enhancement (MDE(®)) as matrix. The analysis demonstrated that the LNA "clamps" increased its melting temperature (T(m)) and the thermal stability of heteroduplex DNA. The partially denaturing gel used a defined concentration of formamide, and significantly induced mobility shifts of heteroduplex DNA that was dependent on the number and patterns of DNA mismatches and insertions/deletions. This new technique successfully detected tropisms of 53 HIV-1 V3 clones of known tropism, and was able to separate and detect multiple V3 DNA variants encoding tropisms for CCR5 or CXCR4 in a mixture. The assay had the sensitivity to detect 0.5% minority species. This method may be useful as a research tool for analysis of viral quasispecies and for genotypic prediction of HIV-1 tropism in clinical specimens.
