Pharmacological Inhibition of PPARγ Reverses HIV Latency but Prevents Viral Production/Infectivity while Boosting Th17 Functions

ABSTRACT: In addition to HIV-permissiveness factors, Th17-cells express PPARγ, a transcriptional repressor of specific genes including RORγt and HIV. Here, we investigated the effect of PPARγ pharmacological inhibition on HIV replication and Th17 functions. As predicted, T-cell receptor triggering in the presence of the PPARG antagonist T0070907 increased IL-17A production and cell-associated HIV-RNA levels in T-cells of HIV-infected ART-treated individuals. Unexpectedly, T0070907 inhibited HIV-RNA release/viral outgrowth ex vivo and transmitted/founder HIV replication in vitro. Whole genome RNA-sequencing revealed multiple genes/pathways modulated by T0070907, including those involved in HIV-permissiveness (e.g., CCR5, furin) versus HIV-restriction (e.g., TRIM22, BST2, miR29), as well as Th17-effector functions (e.g., RORγt, STAT3, BCL6, IL-17A/F, IL-21, IL-22, IL-26). Of note, T0070907 boosted IL-21, a cytokine exhibiting immune-regulatory and miR-29-mediated antiviral properties. miR-29 antagomir failed to restore HIV replication in T0070907-treated T-cells, indicative of a pleiotropic antiviral program triggered by PPARG antagonism.

Persistent dysfunction of Th17 cells in people with HIV on ART and in elite controllers

Project description:Th17 cells are rapidly depleted during HIV infection and their frequencies and functions are not fully restored by antiretroviral therapy (ART). In addition, Th17 cells contribute to viral persistence during ART. However, molecular mechanisms underlying these observations remain understudied. MemCCR6+ cells from STs vs. HDs showed alterations in the NOTCH and TGF-β1/smad2-3 pathways, indicative of impairments in their differentiation and stability. Consistently, the RORγt/C2 repressor NR1D1 was upregulated, while Semaphorin 4D, a RORγt/C2 inducer, was decreased in MemCCR6+ cells from STs vs. HDs. Frequencies of Th17 and Th1/Th17 cells within total MemCCR6+ cells were lower in STs and ECs compared to HD individuals, and expressed higher levels of activation and senescence/exhaustion markers. As a result, MemCCR6+ cells from STs produced less IL-17A/F, IL-22, and IFN-γ in vitro compared to HDs. Downregulation of HIV restriction factors (SERINC3, KLF3, and RNF125) and HIV inhibitors (tetraspanins), along with increased expression of MRE11 in MemCCR6+ cells from ST individuals supported higher susceptibility/permissiveness to HIV infection. MemCCR6+ cells from STs and ECs had lower TFAP4 expression and increased expression of EED and TP53BP1 vs. HDs, which is associated to HIV persistence. Markers of DNA damage/modification were elevated in STs and ECs compared to HDs, including NASP, RPA2, H2AX, PARP, and DNA methylases DNMT1/DNMT3A. Similar to the ST group, MemCCR6+ cells in ECs showed decreased expression of Semaphorin 4D and Notch1, along with higher expression of NR1D1 compared to HD donors. Despite successful ART, the transcriptional signature of MemCCR6+ cells revealed impaired differentiation, stability, functions, DNA damage/modifications, and higher susceptibility to HIV infection and viral persistence.

IL-17A Promotes HIV-1 Dissemination/Replication and abrogates the Interferon-Mediated Antiviral Immunity in Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Project description:The crosstalk between intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) and Th17-polarized CD4+ T-cells is critical for mucosal homeostasis, with HIV-1 causing major alterations in people living with HIV (PLWH) despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). Here, we used a model of IEC:T-cell co-culture to investigate the effects of IL-17A and TNF, two cytokines produced by Th17-cells, in regulating IEC ability to promote de novo infection and viral outgrowth from reservoir cells. Our results demonstrated that IL-17A in the presence/absence of TNF acts on IEC to increase HIV capture and trans infection of CD3/CD28-activated T-cells from uninfected individuals. Also, IL-17A-exposed IEC significantly increased HIV replication and outgrowth in CD3/CD28-activated T-cells infected with HIV in vitro and isolated from ART-treated PLWH, respectively. Exposure of IEC to IL-17A resulted in decreased type I IFN levels, as measured using the 293T-KEK cell based assay. Illumina RNA sequencing performed on cytokine-activated IEC before/after co-culture with T-cells of ART-treated PLWH revealed a molecular signature associated with IL-17A-mediated proviral effects. This signature includes decreased expression of transcripts linked to type I IFN production/response (DDX60, IRF7, STAT1) and HIV restriction (IFITM1, TRIM5, IF2AK2, MX1, MX2, IFIT1,3,5, PARP12, HERC6, ISG15, viperin, BST2, OAS2/3), and increased expression of Th17-attracting chemokines (CCL20).

The Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling complex promotes Th17 differentiation by coordinating RORγt-driven epigenetic program

Project description:TH17 cells play a critical role in mucosal immunity and also in multiple autoimmune diseases. The differentiation of TH17 cells is dictated by a master transcription factor, RORγt; however, the mechanism by which RORγt controls target genes is poorly understood. Here we identify the Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling complex as an essential regulator of TH17 cell differentiation. Loss of the expression of SRG3/mBAF155, a core subunit of the Swi/Snf complex, results in a specific downregulation of RORγt target genes such as IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-23R. Importantly, the comparative transcriptional analysis reveals a high similarity between RORγt and the Swi/Snf complex in the control of TH17-related gene expression. Mechanistically, the Swi/Snf complex partners with RORγt and coordinates a variety of RORγt–mediated epigenetic modifications, including both permissive and repressive ones. These results provide a basis for the understanding of how a master transcription factor RORγt cooperates with the Swi/Snf complex to govern the Th17 cell differentiation.

Characterisation of Two New Th17-Subsets with Distinct Contribution to HIV-1 Persistence under Antiretroviral Therapy

Project description:Th17 cells act as the first line of defense against pathogens at mucosal surfaces. Their paucity during HIV infection causes disease progression. Here, we reveal the existence of two new CCR6+CD161+ subsets, CCR4-CXCR3- (DN; double negative) and CCR4+CXCR3+ (DP; double positive), expressing typical Th17 transcripts (e.g., RORγt, RORα, PTPN13, ARNTL), C. albicans specificity, and exhibiting Th17-lineage commitment versus flexibility.

The cytokine IL-17A limits Th17 pathogenicity via a negative feedback loop driven by autocrine induction of IL-24

Project description:Dysregulated Th17 cell responses underlie multiple inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune uveitis and its animal model, EAU. However, clinical trials targeting IL-17A in uveitis were not successful. Here, we found that Th17 cells were regulated by their own signature cytokine, IL-17A. Loss of IL-17A in autopathogenic Th17 cells did not reduce their pathogenicity and instead elevated their expression of the Th17 cell cytokines GM-CSF and IL-17F. Mechanistic in vitro studies revealed a Th17 cell-intrinsic autocrine loop triggered by binding of IL-17A to its receptor, leading to activation of transcription factor NFκB and induction of IL 24, which repressed the Th17 cytokine program. In vivo, IL-24 treatment ameliorated Th17-induced EAU, whereas silencing of IL-24 in Th17 cells enhanced disease. This regulatory pathway also operated in human Th17 cells. Thus, IL-17A limits pathogenicity of Th17 cells by inducing IL-24. These findings may explain the disappointing therapeutic effect in targeting IL-17A in uveitis.

HIV-1 selectively targets gut-homing CCR6+CD4+ T-cells via mTOR-dependent mechanisms.

Project description:In an effort to identify mechanisms governing HIV-1 permissiveness in gut-homing Th17 cells, we analyzed the transcriptome of CCR6+ versus CCR6- T-cells exposed to the gut-homing inducer retinoic acid (RA) and performed functional validations in colon biopsies of HIV-infected individuals receiving ART (HIV+ART). Together, our results identify mTOR as a druggable key regulator of HIV permissiveness in gut-homing CCR6+ T-cells.

Molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 permissiveness in CCR4+CCR6+ Th17 cells

Project description:We previously reported that CCR4+CCR6+Th17 cells are permissive to HIV, while CXCR3+CCR6- Th1 cells are relatively resistant. To identify molecular mechanisms underlying these differences, we performed a genome-wide transcriptional profiling in CXCR3+CCR6-Th1, CCR4+CCR6-Th2, CCR4+CCR6+Th17, and CXCR3+CCR6+Th1Th17 upon TCR triggering. Transcriptional differences between Th17 and Th1 were the most remarkable. HIV-DNA integration was highly efficient in Th17 versus Th1 upon exposure to both wild-type and VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV, indicative that post-entry mechanisms contribute to HIV permissiveness. 4 cell populations from up to 5 donors for a total of 19 samples.

Enhanced Pathogenicity of Th17 cells Generated in the Absence of Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling

Project description:CD4+ T cells that selectively produce interleukin (IL)-17, are critical for host defense and autoimmunity1-4. Crucial for T helper17 (Th17) cells in vivo5,6, IL-23 has been thought to be incapable of driving initial differentiation. Rather, IL-6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 have been argued to be the factors responsible for initiating specification7-10. Herein, we show that Th17 differentiation occurs in the absence of TGF-β signaling. Neither IL-6 nor IL-23 alone efficiently generated Th17 cells; however, these cytokines in combination with IL-1β effectively induced IL-17 production in naïve precursors, independently of TGF-β. Epigenetic modification of the Il17a/Il17f and Rorc promoters proceeded without TGF-β1, allowing the generation of cells that co-expressed Rorγt and T-bet. T-bet+Rorγt+ Th17 cells are generated in vivo during experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), and adoptively transferred Th17 cells generated with IL-23 in the absence of TGF-β1 were more pathogenic in this experimental disease. These data suggest a new model for Th17 differentiation. Consistent with genetic data linking the IL23R with autoimmunity, our findings re-emphasize the role of IL-23 and therefore have important implications for the development of new therapies.
