Autophagy-enhancing ATG16L1 polymorphism improves clinical outcomes and promotes superior T-cell immunity in chronic HIV-1 infection


ABSTRACT: Chronic HIV-1 infection is characterized by T-cell dysregulation that is partly restored by antiretroviral therapy. Autophagy is a critical regulator of T-cell function. Here, we demonstrate a protective role for autophagy in HIV-1 disease pathogenesis. Targeted analysis of genetic variation in core autophagy gene ATG16L1 revealed the previously unidentified rs6861 polymorphism, which correlated functionally with enhanced autophagy and clinically with improved survival of untreated HIV-1-infected individuals. T cells carrying ATG16L1 rs6861(TT) genotype displayed superior antiviral immunity, evidenced by increased proliferation, revamped immune responsiveness and suppressed exhaustion/immunosenescence features. In-depth flow-cytometric and transriptional profiling revealed T-helper-cell-signatures unique to rs6861(TT) individuals with enriched regulation of pro-inflammatory networks and skewing towards immunoregulatory phenotype. Therapeutic enhancement of autophagy recapitulated the rs6861(TT)-associated traits in non-carriers. These data underscore the in vivo relevance of autophagy for longer-lasting T-cell-mediated HIV-1 control, with implications towards development of host-directed antivirals targeting autophagy to restore immune function in chronic HIV-1 infection.
