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

ABSTRACT: 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

Generation of human microglia-like cells to study neurological disease

Project description:Microglia play important roles in developmental and homeostatic brain function, and influence the establishment and progression of many neurological disorders. Here, we demonstrate that renewable human iPSCs can be efficiently differentiated to microglial-like cells (iMGL) to study neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). We find that iMGLs develop in vitro similarly to microglia in vivo and whole transcriptome analysis demonstrates that they are highly similar to adult and fetal human microglia. Functional assessment of iMGLs reveal that they secrete cytokines in response to inflammatory stimuli, migrate and undergo calcium transients, and robustly phagocytose CNS substrates. We also show novel use of iMGLs to examine the effects of fibrillar Aβ and brain-derived tau oligomers on AD-related gene expression and to interrogate mechanisms involved in synaptic pruning. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that iMGLs can be used in high-throughput studies of microglial function, providing important new insight into human neurological disease.

Dysregulated neuroimmune interactions and sustained type I interferon signaling after human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection of human iPSC derived microglia and cerebral organoids

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) affects up to half of HIV-1 positive patients with long term neurological consequences, including dementia. There are no effective therapeutics for HAND because the pathophysiology of HIV-1 induced glial and neuronal functional deficits in humans remains enigmatic. To bridge this knowledge gap, we established a model simulating HIV-1 infection in the central nervous system using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived microglia combined with sliced neocortical organoids. Upon incubation with two replication-competent macrophage-tropic HIV-1 strains (JRFL and YU2), we observed that microglia not only became productively infected but also exhibited inflammatory activation. RNA sequencing revealed a significant and sustained activation of type I interferon signaling pathways. Incorporating microglia into sliced neocortical organoids extended the effects of aberrant type I interferon signaling in a human neural context. Collectively, our results illuminate the role of persistent type I interferon signaling in HIV-1 infected microglial in a human neural model, suggesting its potential significance in the pathogenesis of HAND.

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

Project description: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.

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.

Non-Canonical Epigenetic Regulation of HIV Infection in Macrophage

Project description:Persistently infected macrophages serve as a long-term HIV reservoir and barrier to viral eradication, and also contribute to neurological complications in patients despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). To better understand the regulation of HIV in macrophages, we compared HIV infected human monocyte derived macrophages (MDM) to acutely infected primary CD4 T cells and Jurkat cell lines latently infected with HIV (JLAT). HIV genomes in MDM were actively transcribed despite enrichment with heterochromatin-associated H3K9me3 across the complete HIV genome in combination with elevated activation marks of H3K9ac and H3K27ac at the LTR. In contrast, JLAT showed conventional bivalent H3K4me3/H3K27me3 while CD4 showed an intermediate epigenotype. 5‘-methylcytosine (5mC) was enriched across the HIV genome in latently infected JLAT cells, while 5‘-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmc) was enriched in CD4 and MDM. HIV infection induced multinucleation of MDMs along with DNA damage associate p53 phosphorylation, as well as loss of TET2 and the nuclear redistribution of 5-hydoxymethylation. RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that MDMs have a distinct transcriptional response to HIV persistent infection, including activation of CCL7, LAG3, and interferon signaling. Taken together, our findings suggest that HIV induces a unique macrophage nuclear and transcriptional profile, and viral genomes are maintained in a non-canonical bivalent epigenetic state.

Drug repurposing for the treatment of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder by AI-based literature mining

Project description:HIV-1 Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND) is a common and clinically detrimental complication of HIV infection. Viral proteins including Tat, released from infected cells, cause neuronal toxicity. Substance abuse in HIV-infected patients greatly exacerbates the severity of neuronal damage. To repurpose small molecule inhibitors for anti-HAND therapy, we employed MOLIERE, an AI-based literature mining system that we developed. All human genes were analyzed and prioritized by MOLIERE to find previously unknown targets connected to HAND. The list was narrowed to those with known small molecule inhibitors developed for other applications and lacking systemic toxicity in animal models. We tested the activity of small molecules targeted against the proteins of five prioritized genes to protect against the combined neurotoxicity of HIV-Tat and cocaine in primary neuronal cultures. Four prevented Tat and cocaine toxicity. The compounds are: the FDA approved drugs Amlexanox and Tazemetostat (EPZ-6438), Itaconate and Senicapoc. Despite the disparate molecular targets of these drugs, analysis revealed a common mechanism of neuroprotection; namely that modulation of astrocyte and microglia status prevents the toxicity of Tat and cocaine.
