Neuroinflammation and EIF2 signaling persist despite antiretroviral treatment in an HiPSC tri-culture model of HIV infection [bulk RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND) affect over half of HIV-infected individuals, despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). Therapeutically targetable mechanisms underlying HAND remain elusive, partly due to a lack of a proper model. We developed a human-induced pluripotent stem cell (HiPSC) based model, independently differentiating HiPSCs into neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, and systematically combining to generate a tri-culture with or without HIV-infection and ART. Single cell RNAseq analysis on tri-cultures with HIV-infected microglia revealed inflammatory signatures in the microglia and EIF2 signaling in all three cell types. Treatment with the antiretroviral compound EFZ mostly resolved these signatures. However, EFZ increased RhoGDI and CD40 signaling in the HIV-infected microglia. This activation was associated with a persistent increase in TNFa production by microglia. This work establishes a tri-culture that recapitulates key features of HIV infection in the CNS and provides a new model to examine the effects of infection, its treatment, and other co-morbid conditions.

Neuroinflammation and EIF2 signaling persist despite antiretroviral treatment in an HiPSC tri-culture model of HIV infection [scRNA-seq]

Stem Cell-derived Microglia Exhibit HAND Gene Expression Signature Early Upon Infection with HIV-1 [iPSCMG_TFS]

Project description:HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persist as a notable cause of illness among individuals with HIV. Despite significant progress in antiretroviral therapy (ART), HAND continues to be a major concern, impacting approximately one-third of those infected with HIV. Recent research underscores the pivotal role of microglia, the primary immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), in the development and progression of HAND. The infection and activation of microglia by HIV leads to the release of pro-inflammatory markers, cytokines, chemokines, secondary messengers, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These factors collectively initiate signalling pathways that contribute to neuroinflammation, a central process in the development of HAND. In order to validate stem cell-derived microglia (iMGL) as a viable model system for HAND investigation, we infected iMGLs and human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) with the primary HIV-1 isolate Ba-L at an MOI of 0.25. Total RNA was extracted from cell populations on days 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 following infection. Subsequently, we conducted bulk RNA sequencing to examine the longitudinal transcriptomic alterations induced by the virus over this time frame

Single-cell RNA sequencing study of brain-derived cells from two individuals with HIV-associated neurocognitive dysfunction

Project description:The high prevalence of cognitive alterations in persons with HIV (PWH) despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with sustained neuroinflammation. Here, we uncover the signaling pathways that are essential for persistent immune activation and might underly development of HIV associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND). We analyze the brain proteome from PWH on ART during HAND progression. We observe that 73.3% of the significantly upregulated proteins in brains from PWH and HAND (compared to PWH with normal cognition) belong to immune pathways. Among them, 36.4% of upregulated innate immune-related proteins are within the type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling, suggesting that persistent IFN-I activation is central to HAND-associated brain immune activation. Single cell (sc)RNA-seq analysis confirmed that FN-I occurs mainly in astrocytes during acute HIV infection in the microglia-containing organoid (MCO) model of HIV infection and persistent in microglia in the brain of PLWH on ART. Of note, IFN-I persistence is independent of HIV status but associated with the induction of human endogenous retroviruses-W (HERV-W) Env during HAND progression after initial HIV infection and its associated immune activation. When induced, HERV-W Env directly activates IFN-I signaling in astrocytes, but not in microglia. Together, IFN-I signaling may be initiated directly in the astrocytes after acute HIV infection then sustained in the microglia during ART. IFN-I persists due to expression of HERV-W Env, thereby contributing to the persistent immune activation in the HAND brain on ART, independent of HIV and insensitive to ART. Our data link the neuroinflammation of persistent IFN-I signaling to the HAND brain on ART.

Significant Effects of Antiretroviral Therapy on Global Gene Expression in Brain Tissues of Patients with HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders

Project description:Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced morbidity and mortality in HIV infection; however HIV-1-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persist despite treatment. We used microarray analysis in post-mortem brain tissues to determine ART effectiveness in the brain and to identify molecular signatures of HAND under ART. We performed microarray analysis using Affymetrix Arrays in portmortem brain tissues from seven treated and eight untreated HAND patients and six uninfected controls.

HIV Infection and Antiretroviral Therapy Have Divergent Effects on Mitochondria in Adipose Tissue

Project description:Exploratory microarray analysis identified significant changes in gene expression in adipose tissue. These included changes in genes regulating lipid and steroid metabolic processes and electron carrier activity in HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Additional genes involved in metabolic processes and mitochondrial function were found to be up-regulated in the adipose tissue of HIV-positive patients compared with HIV-negative controls. To identify differential gene expression in different tissues (PBMC, muscle, adipose tissue) between HIV patient groups (HIV negative, HIV positive with ART, HIV positive without ART).
