Project description:Here we studied the transcriptional profile of virus specific CD8 T cells to gain molecular insights in CD8 T cell functionality in HIV infection. HIV- and CMV-specific CD8 T cells were isolated from HIV infected individuals participating in the Amsterdam Cohort Studies (HIV progressors, long-term non-progressors (LTNP; HLA-B*57 and non-HLA-B*57) and individuals carrying the MAVS minor genotype) and CMV seropositive blood donors (BD). The transcription profile of HIV-specific CD8 T cells of LTNP groups was associated with increased protein/RNA metabolism pathways, indicating that immune control of HIV infection in these individuals is associated with increased functionality. In contrast, CMV-specific CD8 T cells from progressors showed increased expression of genes related to effector functions and suggests recent CMV reactivation. Our study provides novel insights into molecular mechanisms involved in HIV and CMV control in chronic HIV infection.

Project description:Peptides generated by proteasome-catalyzed splicing of non-contiguous amino acid sequences have been shown to constitute a source of non-templated human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) epitopes, but their role in pathogen-specific immunity remains unknown. CD8+ T cells are key mediators of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) control, and identification of novel epitopes to enhance targeting of infected cells is a priority for prophylactic and therapeutic strategies. To explore the contribution of proteasome-catalyzed peptide splicing (PCPS) to HIV-1 epitope generation, we developed a broadly-applicable mass spectrometry-based discovery workflow that we employed to identify spliced HLA-I-bound peptides on HIV-infected cells. We demonstrate that HIV-1-derived spliced peptides comprise a novel, but relatively minor, component of the HLA-I-bound viral immunopeptidome. Although spliced HIV-1 peptides may elicit CD8+ T cell responses relatively infrequently during infection, CD8+ T cells primed by partially-overlapping contiguous epitopes in HIV-infected individuals were able to cross-recognize spliced viral peptides, suggesting a potential role for PCPS in restricting HIV-1 escape pathways. Vaccine-mediated priming of responses to spliced HIV-1 epitopes could thus provide a novel means of exploiting epitope targets typically under-utilized during natural infection.

Project description:We examined the gene expression profiles in ex vivo human CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from untreated HIV-infected individuals at different clinical stages and rates of disease progression. Profiles of pure CD4+ and CD8+ T cells subsets from HIV-infected nonprogressors who controlled viremia were indistinguishable from HIV-uninfected individuals. Similarly, no gene clusters could distinguish T cells from individuals with early from chronic progressive HIV infection, whereas differences were observed between uninfected or nonprogressors versus early or chronic progressors. In early/chronic HIV infection, three characteristic gene expression signatures were observed: (1) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells showed increased expression of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs). However, some ISGs including CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, and the IL15R? in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and the anti-HIV ISG APOBEC3G in CD4+ T cells, were not upregulated. (2) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells showed a cluster similar to that observed in thymocytes, and (3) more genes were differentially regulated in CD8+ T cells than in CD4+ T cells, including a cluster of genes downregulated exclusively in CD8+ T cells. In conclusion, HIV infection induces a persistent T cell transcriptional profile, early in infection, characterized by a dramatic but potentially aberrant interferon response, and a profile suggesting an active thymic output. We studied a cohort of HIV infected individuals with various clinical stages of HIV infection and healthy uninfected volunteers as a control group (Table 1). We included 5 individuals with early HIV infection (A), five with chronic progressive HIV infection (C), five individuals with non-progressive HIV infection with low or undetectable viral loads (L) and five HIV uninfected individuals (N). The HIV infected individuals were never on therapy prior to entering the study. Samples were taken once from each donor.

Project description:CD8+ T cells in chronic viral infections like HIV develop functional defects such as loss of IL-2 secretion and decreased proliferative potential that are collectively termed exhaustion1. Exhausted T cells express increased levels of multiple inhibitory receptors, such as Programmed Death 1 (PD-1). PD-1 inhibition contributes to impaired virus-specific T cell function in chronic infection because antibody-mediated blockade of its ligand, Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) is sufficient to improve T cell function and reduce viral replication in animal models. Reversing PD-1 inhibition is therefore an attractive therapeutic target, but the cellular mechanisms by which PD-1 ligation results in T cell inhibition are not fully understood. PD-1 is thought to limit T cell activation by attenuating T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. It is not known whether PD-1 ligation also acts by upregulating genes in exhausted T cells that impair their function. Here, we analyzed gene-expression profiles from HIV-specific CD8+ T cells in patients with HIV and show that PD-1 coordinately upregulates a program of genes in exhausted CD8+ T cells from humans and mice. This program includes upregulation of basic leucine transcription factor, ATF-like (BATF), a transcription factor in the AP-1 family. Enforced expression of BATF was sufficient to impair T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion, while BATF knockdown reduced PD-1 inhibition. Silencing BATF in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from chronic viremic patients rescued HIV-specific T cell function. Thus inhibitory receptors can cause T cell exhaustion by upregulating genes â such as BATF â that inhibit T cell function. We sorted HIV-specific CD8+ T cells from 18 progressors and 24 controllers, cohorts with a two-log difference in mean viral load

Project description:Spontaneous control of HIV infection has been repeatedly linked to antiviral CD8+ T cells but is not always permanent. To address mechanisms of durable and aborted control of viremia, we evaluated immunologic and virologic parameters in longitudinal samples from 34 subjects with differential outcomes. Despite sustained recognition of autologous virus, aborted control was preceded by impairment of HIV-specific proliferative and cytolytic T cell effector functions without evidence of canonical T cell exhaustion. During aborted control, HIV-specific CD8+ T cells infiltrated lymphoid follicles but exhibited poor functionality relative to durable control. Longitudinal transcriptomic profiling of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells revealed altered expression of genes related to T cell activation, cytokine-mediated signaling and cell cycle regulation preceding aborted control, including increased expression of the antiproliferative transcription factor KLF2. Our results identify prognostic indicators of aborted HIV control and elucidate functional requirements for durable immune control, which may guide development of new therapies

Project description:Goal: To compare the gene expression profiles from pediatric patients with each other, with those reported in adults and in those related to exosomes. Background: Suppression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication by CD8+ T-cells (CD8 suppression) contributes to survival in adults and children < 1 year. Soluble CD8 suppression can also be seen in some older children with AIDS. The factor responsible, CD8-derived antiviral factor (CAF), acts at the level of HIV RNA transcription. Differential gene expression techniques have been used to define the gene(s) mediating this phenomenon in adults. Recently, CAF has been linked to exosomes secreted by CD8+ T-cells. Objective: To compare the gene expression profiles from pediatric patients with each other, with those reported in adults and in those reportedly related to exosomes. Design/Methods: We used differential gene expression to study 3 older children with HIV infection, 1 who did demonstrate soluble CD-8 suppression and 2 who did not, and compared our results with those reported in 2 previous studies in adults and their relatedness to exosome components secreted by CD8+ T-cells. Results: 18 differentially expressed genes were also seen in 1 adult study (p=0.002, Ï2 test), and 38 such genes (p < 0.0001, Ï2 test) in a second adult study. In addition, two exosome components and some RNAâs related to exosomal proteins were also differentially expressed. Conclusions: In children with HIV infection, we found significant differentially expressed genes that correlated to those previously reported in 2 studies in adults. Our data also lends some support to the recent identification of CAF with exosomes secreted by CD8+ T-cells. Differential gene expression was used to study 3 older children with HIV infection, 1 who did demonstrate soluble CD-8 suppression and 2 who did not, and compared our results with those reported in 2 previous studies in adults and their relatedness to exosome components secreted by CD8+ T-cells. Three vertically-HIV-1-infected adolescent boys were studied. This study was approved by the Childrenâs Memorial Institutional Review Board. After informed consent was obtained, 20 - 40 ml of heparinized peripheral blood was collected in association with regularly scheduled, clinically-indicated blood sampling.

Project description:Follicular CD8+ T cells (fCD8) mediate surveillance in lymph node (LN) germinal centers against lymphotropic infections and cancers, but precise mechanisms by which these cells mediate immune control remain incompletely resolved. To address this, we investigated functionality, clonotypic compartmentalization, spatial localization, phenotypic characteristics, and transcriptional profiles of LN-resident virus-specific CD8+ T cells in persons who control HIV without medications. Antigen-induced proliferative and cytolytic potential consistently distinguished spontaneous controllers from noncontrollers. T cell receptor analysis revealed complete clonotypic overlap between peripheral and LN-resident HIV-specific CD8+ T cells. Transcriptional analysis of LN CD8+ T cells revealed gene signatures of inflammatory chemotaxis and antigen-induced effector function. In HIV controllers, the cytotoxic effectors perforin and granzyme B were elevated among virus-specific CXCR5+ fCD8s proximate to foci of HIV RNA within germinal centers. These results provide evidence consistent with cytolytic control of lymphotropic infection supported by inflammatory recruitment, antigen-specific proliferation, and cytotoxicity of fCD8s.

Project description:Mechanisms by which HIV causes susceptibility to respiratory pathogens remain incompletely understood. We obtained whole blood and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from people with latent TB infection in the presence or absence of ARV-naïve HIV co-infection. Transcriptomic and flow cytometric analyses demonstrated HIV-associated cell proliferation and type I interferon activity in blood and effector memory CD8 T-cells in BAL. Both compartments displayed reduced induction of CD8 T cell-related IL-17A in people with HIV, associated with elevated T cell regulatory molecule expression. We propose dysfunctional CD8 T cell responses in uncontrolled HIV contribute to susceptibility to secondary bacterial infections, including tuberculosis.
