A CRISPR screen of HIV dependency factors reveals CCNT1 is non-essential in T cells but required for HIV-1 reactivation from latency [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: We sought to explore the hypothesis that host factors required for HIV-1 replication also play a role in latency reversal. Using a CRISPR gene library of putative HIV dependency factors, we performed a screen to identify genes required for latency reactivation. We identified several HIV- 1 dependency factors that play a key role in HIV-1 latency reactivation including ELL, UBE2M, TBL1XR1, HDAC3, AMBRA1, and ALYREF. Knockout of Cyclin T1 (CCNT1), a component of the P-TEFb complex important for transcription elongation, was the top hit in the screen and had the largest effect on HIV latency reversal with a wide variety of latency reversal agents. Moreover, CCNT1 knockout prevents latency reactivation in a primary CD4+ T cell model of HIV latency without affecting activation of these cells. RNA sequencing data showed that CCNT1 regulates HIV-1 proviral genes to a larger extent than any other host gene and had no significant effects on RNA transcripts in primary T cells after activation. We conclude that CCNT1 function is redundant in T cells but is absolutely required for HIV latency reversal.

HIV-1 m6A methylome investigation by m6A-SAC-seq

Project description:Despite effective antiretroviral therapy at reducing HIV-1 viral loads to undetectable levels, the presence of latently infected CD4+ T cells poses a major barrier to HIV-1 cure. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of viral and cellular RNA has a functional role in regulating HIV-1 infection. m6A modification of HIV-1 RNA can affect its stability, translation, and splicing in cells and suppresses type-I interferon induction in macrophages. However, the function of m6A modification in regulating HIV-1 latency reactivation remains unknown. We used the Jurkat T cell line-derived HIV-1 latency model (J-Lat cells) to investigate changes in m6A levels of cellular RNA in response to latency reversal. We observed a significant increase in m6A levels of total cellular RNA upon reactivation of latent HIV-1 in J-Lat cells. This increase in m6A levels was transient and returned to steady-state levels despite continued high levels of viral gene expression in reactivated cells compared to control cells. Upregulation of m6A levels occurred without significant changes in the protein expression of m6A writers or erasers that add or remove m6A, respectively. Knockdown of m6A writers in J-Lat cells significantly reduced HIV-1 reactivation. Treatment of a m6A writer inhibitor reduced cellular RNA m6A levels along with reduction in HIV-1 reactivation. Furthermore, using m6A-specific sequencing, we identified cellular RNAs that are differentially m6A-modified during HIV-1 reactivation in J-Lat cells. Knockdown of identified m6A-modified RNA validate these results with established primary CD4+ T-cell models of HIV-1 latency. These results showed the importance of m6A RNA modification in HIV-1 latency reversal.

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.

HSV-2 Triggers Upregulation of MALAT1 in CD4+ T cells and Promotes HIV Latency Reversal (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:HSV-2 coinfection is associated with increased HIV-1 viral loads and expanded tissue reservoirs, but the mechanisms are not well-defined. HSV-2 recurrences result in an influx of activated CD4+ T cells to sites of viral replication and an increase in activated CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood. We hypothesized that HSV-2 induces changes in these cells that facilitate HIV-1 reactivation and replication and tested this hypothesis in human CD4+ T cells and 2D10 cells, a model of HIV-1 latency. HSV-2 promoted latency reversal in HSV-2 infected and bystander 2D10 cells. Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing studies of activated primary human CD4+ T cells identified decreased expression of HIV-1 restriction factors and increased expression of transcripts including MALAT1 that could drive HIV replication in both the HSV-2-infected and bystander cells. Transfection of 2D10 cells with VP16, an HSV-2 protein that regulates transcription, significantly upregulated MALAT1 expression, decreased trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 protein, and triggered HIV latency reversal. Knockout of MALAT1 from 2D10 cells abrogated the response to VP16 and reduced the response to HSV-2 infection. These results demonstrate that HSV-2 contributes to HIV-1 reactivation through diverse mechanisms including upregulation of MALAT1 to release epigenetic silencing.

A truncated HIV Tat demonstrates potent and specific latency reversal activity

Project description:The barrier to HIV-1 functional cure is caused by a small pool of latently infected resting CD4 T-cells that persist under antiretroviral therapy. Notably this latent reservoir of infected cells will produce replication-competent infectious virus once prolonged suppressive HAART is withdrawn. The reactivation of HIV-1 gene expression in T-cells harboring latent provirus in HIV-1 patients under HAART will likely result in depletion of this latent reservoir due to cytopathic effects and immune clearance. Many studies have investigated small molecules that reactivate HIV-1 gene expression but to date no latency reversal agent (LRA) has been identified to be specific, non-toxic, and effective in primary T-cells isolated from HIV-1 infected individuals undergoing long-term HAART. Stochastic fluctuations in HIV-1 tat gene expression have been attributed to be essential in the viral progression to latency. We hypothesized that exposing Tat to latently infected CD4 T-cells will result in potent latency reversal. Our results indicate the capacity of an engineered Tat to reactivate HIV-1 in latently infected cells from patients to a similar degree as the protein kinase C agonist PMA (Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate) while showing no T-cell activation nor any significant transcriptome perturbation in primary CD4 T-cells.

POTENT LATENCY REVERSAL BY TAT RNA ENABLES IN-DEPTH MULTI-OMIC ANALYSIS OF THE TRANSLATION-COMPETENT HIV RESERVOIR

Project description:HIV infection remains incurable due to the long-term persistence of latently infected cells, capable of refueling viremia upon antiretroviral therapy interruption. Shock-and-kill strategies aim to purge this latent reservoir by inducing the expression of viral genes, making infected cells visible for cleanup by the immune system. Here, we present a Tat mRNA formulation that, when combined with panobinostat, enables latency reversal at levels >3-fold higher than those reached with the most potent mitogens. We demonstrate that this mRNA formulation does not alter the transcriptome or phenotype of CD4 T cells, enabling the ex vivo assessment of infected cells upon latency reversal in a near-native state. Taking advantage of this characteristic, we show transcriptomic and proteomic differences between infected cells upon latency reversal and non-infected cells, including the upregulation of the cytotoxic protein granzyme A and a novel long non-coding RNA. Overall, we demonstrate that a Tat mRNA formulation enables potent reactivation of latent HIV, presenting a valuable research tool for studying the inducible HIV reservoir, as well as paving the way to a more effective shock-and-kill functional cure.
