Improved killing of HIV-infected cells using three neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibodies.

ABSTRACT: The correlation of HIV-specific antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses with protection from and delayed progression of HIV-1 infection provides a rationale to leverage ADCC-mediating antibodies for treatment purposes. We evaluated ADCC mediated by different combinations of 2 to 6 neutralizing and non-neutralizing anti-HIV-1 Envelope (Env) mAbs, using concentrations ? 1 ?g/mL, to identify combinations effective at targeting latent reservoir HIV-1 viruses from 10 individuals. We found that within 2 hours, combinations of 3 mAbs mediated more than 30% killing of HIV-infected primary CD4+ T cells in the presence of autologous NK cells, with the combination of A32 (C1C2), DH511.2K3 (MPER), and PGT121 (V3) mAbs being the most effective. Increasing the incubation of target and effector cells in the presence of mAb combinations from 2 to 24 hours resulted in increased specific killing of infected cells, even with neutralization-resistant viruses. The same combination eliminated reactivated latently HIV-1-infected cells in an ex vivo quantitative viral outgrowth assay. Therefore, administration of a combination of 3 mAbs should be considered in planning in vivo studies seeking to eliminate persistently HIV-1-infected cells.

Project description:The heavily glycosylated HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) is the sole viral antigen present at the surface of virions and infected cells, representing the main target for antibody responses. The FDA-approved small molecule temsavir acts as an HIV-1 attachment inhibitor by preventing Env-CD4 interaction. This molecule also stabilizes Env in a prefusion "closed" conformation that is preferentially targeted by several broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). A recent study showed that an analog of temsavir (BMS-377806) affects the cleavage and addition of complex glycans on Env. In this study, we investigated the impact of temsavir on the overall glycosylation, proteolytic cleavage, cell surface expression, and antigenicity of Env. We found that temsavir impacts Env glycosylation and processing at physiological concentrations. This significantly alters the capacity of several bNAbs to recognize Env present on virions and HIV-1-infected cells. Temsavir treatment also reduces the capacity of bNAbs to eliminate HIV-1-infected cells by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Consequently, the impact of temsavir on Env glycosylation and antigenicity should be considered for the development of new antibody-based approaches in temsavir-treated individuals. IMPORTANCE FDA-approved fostemsavir, the prodrug for the active moiety small molecule temsavir (GSK 2616713 [formally BMS-626529]), acts as an attachment inhibitor by targeting the HIV-1 envelope (Env) and preventing CD4 interaction. Temsavir also stabilizes Env in its "closed," functional state 1 conformation, which represents an ideal target for broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). Since these antibodies recognize conformation-dependent epitopes composed of or adjacent to glycans, we evaluated the impact of temsavir treatment on overall Env glycosylation and its influence on bNAb recognition. Our results showed an alteration of Env glycosylation and cleavage by temsavir at physiological concentrations. This significantly modifies the overall antigenicity of Env and therefore reduces the capacity of bNAbs to recognize and eliminate HIV-1-infected cells by ADCC. These findings provide important information for the design of immunotherapies aimed at targeting the viral reservoir in temsavir-treated individuals.
