Selection of epigenetically privileged HIV-1 proviruses during treatment with panobinostat and interferon-α2a [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: CD4 T cells with latent HIV-1 infection persist despite treatment with currently available antiretroviral agents and represent the main barrier to a cure of HIV-1 infection. Pharmacological disruption of viral latency may increase the immunological vulnerability of HIV-1-infected cells, but the clinical efficacy of latency-reversing agents for reducing HIV-1 persistence remains to be proven. Here, we show in a randomized, controlled human clinical trial that the histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat, when administered in combination with pegylated interferon-a2a, induces a structural transformation of the HIV-1 reservoir cell pool, characterized by a disproportionate overrepresentation of HIV-1 proviruses integrated in ZNF genes and in chromatin regions with reduced H3K27ac marks, the molecular target site for panobinostat. In contrast, proviruses near H3K27ac marks appeared to be actively selected against, likely due to increased susceptibility to panobinostat. These data suggest that latency-reversing treatment with panobinostat can accelerate immune selection of HIV-1 proviruses.

Selection of epigenetically privileged HIV-1 proviruses during treatment with panobinostat and pegylated Interferon-⍺2a [Cut&Run]

CD4+ T cell transcriptional reprogramming by small compounds

Project description:A major obstacle for HIV eradication is the persistence of latent reservoirs, cells harboring replication competent yet transcriptionally silent proviruses. These reservoirs, composed primarily of CD4+ T cells, cannot be targeted by the host immune system or by combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART). Upon cessation of cART, a rapid viral rebound occurs. In order to develop effective HIV cure therapies, a better understanding of the factors and host programd governing latency establishment and/or maintenance must be obtained. To achieve this goal, we treated a CD4+T cell-based model of latency (J-Lat 10.6) with Latency Reversing Agents (LRAs) and performed bulk RNA-seq to predict host transcriptional programs activated, and potentially involved, in latent HIV reactivation. Our findings suggest that a novel small molecule (EPH-334) reactivates latent HIV by activating an oxidative stress transcriptional program linked to activation of MAPKs and downstream master regulators. Interestingly, the pan histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA also induces oxidative stress programs potentially linking sensing of redox state aletartions with activation of cell signaling and transcriptioonal programs culminating on latent HIV reactivation.

Parallel analysis of transcription, integration, and sequence of single HIV-1 proviruses

Project description:HIV-1-infected cells that persist despite antiretroviral therapy (ART) are frequently considered ‘‘transcriptionally silent,’’ but active viral gene expression may occur in some cells, challenging the concept of viral latency. Applying an assay for proﬁling the transcriptional activity and the chromosomal locations of individual proviruses, we describe a global genomic and epigenetic map of transcriptionally active and silent proviral species and evaluate their longitudinal evolution in persons receiving suppressive ART. Using genome-wide epigenetic reference data, we show that proviral transcriptional activity is associated with activating epigenetic chromatin features in linear proximity of integration sites and in their inter- and intrachromosomal contact regions. Transcriptionally active proviruses were actively selected against during prolonged ART; however, this pattern was violated by large clones of virally infected cells that may outcompete negative selection forces through elevated intrinsic proliferative activity. Our results suggest that transcriptionally active proviruses are dynamically evolving under selection pressure by host factors.

Integrated single-cell multiomic analysis of HIV latency reversal reveals novel regulators of viral reactivation

Project description:Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy, HIV cannot be cured because of a reservoir of latently infected cells that evades therapy. To understand the mechanisms of HIV latency, we employed an integrated single-cell RNA-seq/ATAC-seq approach to simultaneously profile the transcriptomic and epigenomic characteristics of ~125,000 latently infected primary CD4 cells after reactivation using three different latency-reversing agents.

Chromatin maturation of the HIV provirus in primary resting CD4+ T cells

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a chronic condition, where viral DNA integrates into the genome. The fate of the provirus determines the infection course. Latently infected cells form a persistent, heterogeneous reservoir. The reservoir that reinstates an active infection comprises cells with intact provirus that can be reactivated. We confirmed that latent cells from patients exhibited active transcription throughout the provirus. To find transcriptional determinants, we characterized the establishment and maintenance of latency during proviral chromatin maturation in primary CD4+ T-cells for four months after HIV infection. As heterochromatin (marked with H3K9me3 or H3K27me3) gradually stabilized, the provirus became less accessible and lost activation potential. In a subset of infected cells, active marks (i.e., H3K27ac) remained detectable, even after prolonged proviral silencing. After T-cell activation, the proviral activation occurred uniquely in cells with H3K27ac-marked proviruses. Our observations suggested that, after transient proviral activation, cells were actively returned to latency.

Distinct gene expression by expanded clones of quiescent memory CD4+ T cells harboring intact latent HIV-1 proviruses

Project description:Antiretroviral therapy controls but does not cure HIV-1 infection due to a reservoir of rare CD4 + T cells harboring latent proviruses. Little is known about the transcriptional program of latent cells. Here we report a novel strategy to enrich clones of latent cells carrying intact, replication-competent HIV-1 proviruses from blood based on their expression of unique T cell receptors. Latent cell enrichment enabled single cell transcriptomic analysis of 1,050 CD4 + T cells belonging to expanded clones harboring intact HIV-1 proviruses from 6 different individuals. The analysis revealed that most of these cells are T effector memory cells that are enriched for expression of HLA-DR, HLA-DP, CD74, CCL5, Granzymes A and K, cystatin F, LYAR and DUSP2. We conclude that expanded clones of latent cells carrying intact HIV-1 proviruses persist preferentially in a distinct CD4 + T cell population opening new possibilities for eradication.

dCas9 targeted chromatin and histone enrichment for mass spectrometry (Catchet-MS) identifies IKZF1 as a novel target for HIV-1 latency reversal

Project description:HIV-1 infected patients virally suppressed by antiviral treatment harbor a persistent reservoir of replication competent latent HIV-1 infected cells, which constitute the main roadblock to a cure. A main strategy for HIV cure aims to stimulate viral gene expression in latently infected cells so that they can be cleared. Crucial for the design of drugs referred to as “latency-reversing agents” (LRAs) is the identification of molecular targets for latency reversal. The regulatory factors physically associated with and repressing the latent HIV-1 promoter or 5’LTR would provide ideal putative molecular targets for latency reversal. However, due to technical limitations, the comprehensive and unbiased identification of host proteins associated with the latent or active integrated HIV LTR in infected cells not been possible. Here we use dCas9 targeted chromatin and histone enrichment strategy coupled to mass spectrometry (Catchet-MS), to purify the locus-associated dCas9 bait, guided downstream of the HIV-1 transcriptional start site (TSS) in latent and activated HIV-1 infected T cells to identify the 5’LTR bound latent and active regulatory complexes. Catchet-MS identified both previously described as well as novel host factors distinctly associated with the latent versus transcriptionally active HIV-1 5’LTR. Within the identified factors we find the transcription factor IKZF1 to be a novel repressor of the HIV-1 promoter required for maintenance of latency, and thus a molecular target for latency reversal. Finally, we identify the FDA approved drug, Iberdomide, which targets IKZF1 for degradation to be a novel LRA, which reversed latency in latent ex vivo HIV-1 infected primary CD4+ T cells and in cells isolated from HIV-1 infected, aviremic participants.

T cell stimulation alters the HIV-1 reservoir by differential activation of proviral chromatin

Project description:The reservoir of latently HIV-1 infected cells is heterogeneous. To achieve an HIV-1 cure the reservoir of activatable proviruses should be removed, whereas permanently silenced proviruses may be tolerated. We have developed a method to assess the proviral nuclear microenvironment in single cells. Latently HIV-1 infected cells were transduced with a zinc finger protein specifically binding to the HIV-1 promoter, producing a fluorescent signal as the viral transactivator Tat is recruited to the HIV-1 promoter. In these cells we assessed the proviral chromatin composition simultaneously with the proviral activation. By linking the Tat promoter recruitment to viral activation, we dissected the mechanisms of HIV-1 reactivation and the consequences of HIV-1 production. A pulse of promoter-associated Tat was identified that contrasts to the continuous production of viral proteins. As expected, promoter H3K4me3 led to massive expression of the provirus following T cell stimulation. However, the activation induced cell cycle arrest and death resulted in an expanded surviving cell fraction with proviruses encapsulated in repressive chromatin. Further, this model can be used to reveal mechanisms of action of small molecules. In a proof-of-concept study we determine the effect of CBP/P300-inhibitor GNE049. We found that only active enhancers, associated with H3K4me1 and H3K27ac, efficiently recruit Tat, as GNE049 that specifically inhibits enhancer H3K27ac also depletes promoter Tat. Despite the absence of Tat, HIV-1 latency reversal still occurred. Single cell assessment of the chromatin composition of the latent HIV-1 proviruses revealed how T cell stimulation modulates the proviral activity and the subsequent fate of the infected cell.

A modular CRISPR screen identifies individual and combination pathways contributing to HIV-1 latency

Project description:Transcriptional silencing of latent HIV-1 proviruses entails complex and overlapping mechanisms and are a major barrier to in vivo elimination of HIV-1. We developed a new latency CRISPR screening strategy, called Latency HIV-CRISPR, which uses the packaging of guideRNA-encoding lentiviral vector genomes into the supernatant of budding virions as a direct readout of factors involved in the maintenance of HIV-1 latency. We developed a custom guideRNA library targeting epigenetic regulatory genes and paired the screen with and without a latency reversal agent – AZD5582, an activator of the non-canonical NFkB pathway – to examine a combination of mechanisms controlling HIV-1 latency. A component of the Nucleosome Acetyltransferase of H4 histone acetylation (NuA4 HAT) complex, ING3, acts in concert with AZD5582 to activate proviruses in J-Lat cell lines and in a primary CD4+ T cell model of HIV-1 latency. We found that the knockout of ING3 reduces acetylation of the H4 histone tail and BRD4 occupancy on the HIV-1 LTR, and the combination of ING3 knockout with the activation of non-canonical NFkB via AZD5582 act together to dramatically increase initiation and elongation of RNA Polymerase II on the HIV-1 provirus in a manner that is nearly unique among all cellular promoters.
