Project description:Background: There are more than 1 million persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the United States and approximately 40% of them have a history of alcohol use disorders (AUD). Chronic heavy alcohol consumption and HIV/AIDS both result in reduced lean body mass and muscle dysfunction, increasing the incidence of comorbid conditions. Previous studies from our laboratory using rhesus macaques infected with Simian immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) demonstrated that chronic binge alcohol (CBA) administration in the absence of antiretroviral therapy exacerbates skeletal muscle (SKM) wasting at end-stage SIV disease. The aim of this study was to characterize how CBA alters global gene regulatory networks that lead to SKM wasting at end-stage disease. Administration of intragastric alcohol or sucrose to male rhesus macaques began 3 months prior to SIV infection and continued throughout the duration of study. High-output array analysis was used to determine CBA-dependent changes in mRNA expression, miRNA expression, and promoter methylation status of SKM at end-stage disease (~10 months post-SIV) from healthy control (control), sucrose-administered, SIV-infected (SUC/SIV), and CBA-administered/SIV-infected (CBA/SIV) macaques. Results: In addition to previously reported effects on the extracellular matrix and the promotion of a pro-inflammatory environment, we found that CBA adversely affects gene regulatory networks that involve universal cellular functions, protein homeostasis, calcium and ion homeostasis, neuronal growth and signaling, and satellite cell growth and survival. Conclusions: The results from this study provide an overview of the impact of CBA on gene regulatory networks involved in biological functions, including transcriptional and epigenetic processes, illustrating the genetic and molecular mechanisms associated with CBA-dependent SKM wasting at end-stage SIV infection.

Project description:HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder is prevalent despite wide-spread use of effective anti-retroviral therapy (ART). Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) exacerbate neurocognitive dysfunction in HIV+ patients. Previously we have shown that chronic binge alcohol administration (CBA, 13 – 14 g EtOH/kg/wk) starting 3 months prior to simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection in rhesus macaques unmasks behavioral deficits. The underlying mechanisms of neurocognitive alterations due to alcohol and SIV are not known. The aim of this study was to explore the alterations in hippocampal gene expression of CBA administered, SIV-infected (CBA/SIV+; N=2) macaques and isocaloric sucrose administered, SIV-infected (SUC/SIV+; N=2) macaques in contrast to uninfected (SIV-; N=2) macaques. Transcriptomes of hippocampal samples dissected from brains obtained at necropsy (16 months post-SIV inoculation) were analyzed using Illumina Custom algorithm to determine differentially expressed genes (p-value filter of ≤ 0.05; either ≥ 1.3 fold change or ≤ 0.76 fold change) between SUC/SIV+ and SIV-, CBA/SIV+ and SIV-, and CBA/SIV+ and SUC/SIV+. We used Gene Codis to determine enrichment of specific Gene Ontology Biological Processes from both the SUC/SIV+ and CBA/SIV+ gene lists. Gene Codis analysis revealed over-representation of genes involved in neurodevelopment, neurotransmission, interferon-signaling, and antigen presentation in the CBA/SIV+ group. Further analysis of differentially expressed genes between SIV- and CBA/SIV+ showed predominantly up-regulation of immune function genes and down-regulation of nervous system development and synaptic transmission genes in CBA/SIV+ animals. These findings provide insight into the potential mechanisms by which CBA may enhance neurobehavioral deficits.

Project description:Effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly reduced mortality of people living with HIV (PLWH). Increased survival and aging of PLWH is associated with increased incidence of at-risk alcohol use and of metabolic comorbidities; and in women, menopause may be an additional factor contributing to metabolic dysregulation, particularly in adipose tissue. We examined the differential effects of chronic binge alcohol (CBA) administration and ovariectomy (OVX) on the omental adipose tissue (OmAT) proteome of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infected macaques. Quantitative discovery-based proteomics identified 1429 differentially expressed proteins. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis calculated z-scores, or activation predictions for a disease or functional pathway. Results revealed functional pathways associated with protein changes centered around the “OmAT metaboproteome profile”. CBA did not affect functional pathways of metabolic disease; but dysregulated proteins involved in AMPK signaling and lipid metabolism. Based on IPA’s calculated z-score, OVX-mediated proteome changes promote pathways associated with glucose and lipid associated metabolic disease. Additionally, OVX was predicted to promote apoptosis, necrosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathways, while CBA was predicted to inhibit these OVX-associated changes. These results provide evidence for the role of ovarian hormone loss in mediating OmAT metaboproteome dysregulation in HIV/SIV and suggest that CBA modifies OVX-associated changes. In the context of OVX, CBA administraton produced larger metabolic and cellular effects; which we speculate may reflect a protective role of estrogen against CBA-mediated adipose tissue injury in female SIV-infected macaques.

Project description:Cannabinoid administration before and after simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-inoculation ameliorated disease progression and decreased inflammation in male rhesus macaques. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) did not increase viral load in brain tissue or produce additive neuropsychological impairment in SIV-infected macaques. To determine if the neuroimmunomodulation of Δ9-THC involved differential microRNA (miR) expression, miR expression in the striatum of uninfected macaques receiving vehicle (VEH) or Δ9-THC (THC) and SIV-infected macaques administered either vehicle (VEH/SIV) or Δ9-THC (THC/SIV) was profiled using next generation deep sequencing.

Project description:Molecular basis for CNS dysfunction in simian immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus monkeys. We used microarrays to identify differentially expressed genes in chronic simian immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus monkeys. Frontal lobe samples were obtained from control and SIV infected animals for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to better understand the gene that changes in gene expression with SIV infection in the frontal lobe.

Project description:Circadian rhythms are central to optimal physiological functioning and their interruption contributes to the development of several chronic diseases. Alcohol (EtOH) intoxication disrupts circadian rhythms within liver, brain, and intestines, but it is unknown whether alcohol also disrupts components of the core clock in skeletal muscle. Female C57BL/6Hsd mice were randomized to receive either saline (control) or alcohol (EtOH) (5g/kg) via intraperitoneal injection at the start of the dark cycle (ZT12), and gastrocnemius was collected every 4hr from Control and EtOH treated mice for the next 48hr following isoflurane anesthetization. In addition, metyrapone was administered prior to alcohol intoxication in separate mice to determine whether the alcohol-induced increase in serum corticosterone contributed to circadian gene regulation. Finally, synchronized C2C12 myotubes were treated with alcohol (100mM) to assess the influence of centrally or peripherally mediated effects of alcohol on the muscle clock. Alcohol significantly disrupted the mRNA expression of Bmal1, Per1/2, and Cry1/2 in addition to perturbing the clock-controlled genes, Myod1, Dbp, Tef, and Bhlhe40 (p<0.05). Alcohol increased serum corticosterone levels and glucocorticoid target genes, Redd1 and Klf15, in muscle. Metyrapone decreased serum corticosterone in EtOH mice but did not normalize the mRNA expression of Per1, Cry1 and Cry2 and Myod1 which were altered by EtOH. Alcohol did not alter core clock gene expression (Bmal, Per1/2, Cry1/2) at 4, 8, and 12hrs post treatment in synchronized C2C12 myotubes. Therefore, binge alcohol disrupted genes of the core molecular clock independently of elevated serum corticosterone.

Project description:HIV reservoirs in tissues form the major hurdle to an HIV cure. Despite major progress made on the understanding of the establishment and persistence of viral reservoirs, the characterization of composition and dynamics of the viral reservoir is still uncomplete. In addition, most studies in HIV infection are limited to blood. Here we take advantage of non-human primate models to provide a longitudinal analysis on potential viral target cells in distinct body compartments : blood, lymph nodes (LN), spleen ileum, jejunum and liver. We observed an increase in CD32+CD4+ T cells in secondary lymphoid tissues and intestine during primary and chronic pathogenic SIVmac infection. In the natural host (African green monkey, AGM), increase of the CD4+CD32+T cell levels was observed in tissues with higher replication and immune activation. CD32+CD4+ T cells expressed more often markers associated with HIV infected and/or reservoir cells (PD-1, CXCR5 for TFH cells in SLT, and CXCR3 for Th1 cells) than CD32- cells. The tissue CD32+CD4+T cells displayed higher levels of actively transcribed SIV RNA than CD32-CD4+T cells. The genome-wide transcriptome of CD32+CD4+ T cells in spleen from SIV-infected animals indicated that the CD32+CD4+ T cells shared B cell markers. The CD20+ expressing CD32+CD4+ T cells were increased in the tissues but not in the blood during SIV infection. Altogether, the study showed that SIV infection increases the frequencies of CD32+CD4+ T cells in tissues more than in blood. These cells might represent a not well-described subpopulation of activated CD4+ T cells.

Project description:Identifying immune correlates of protection is a major challenge in AIDS vaccine development. Anti-Envelope antibodies have been considered critical against SIV/HIV acquisition. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of a SHIV vaccine against SIVmac251 challenge, where the role of antibody was excluded as there was no cross-reactivity between SIV and SHIV Envelope antibodies. After eight low-dose rectal challenges with SIVmac251, 12 SHIV-vaccinated animals demonstrated 83% efficacy, compared to six naïve controls, suggesting protection could be achieved in the absence of anti-Envelope antibodies. Interestingly, CD8+ T cells (and some NK cells) were not essential for the preventing viral acquisition, as none of the CD8-depleted macaques was infected by SIVmac251 challenges. Initial investigation of protective innate immunity revealed that protected animals had elevated pathways related to platelet aggregation/activation, and reduced pathways related to interferon and responses to virus. Moreover, higher expression of platelet factor 4 (PF4) on circulating platelet-leukocyte aggregates was associated with reduced viral acquisition. Our data highlighted the importance of innate immunity and may provide new opportunities for novel HIV vaccines or therapeutic strategy development.

Project description:CD4+ T follicular helper (TFH) cells are key targets for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication and contribute to the virus reservoir under antiretroviral therapy (ART). Here, we describe a novel CD3+ CD20+ double-positive (DP) lymphocyte subset, resident in secondary lymphoid organs of humans and rhesus macaques (RMs), that appear predominantly after membrane exchange between TFH and B cells. DP lymphocytes are enriched in cells displaying a TFH phenotype (CD4+ PD1hi CXCR5hi), function (interleukin 21 positive [IL-21+]), and gene expression profile. Importantly, expression of CD40L upon brief in vitro mitogen stimulation identifies, by specific gene- expression signatures, DP cells of TFH-cell origin versus those of B-cell origin. Analysis of 56 RMs showed that DP cells (i) significantly increase following SIV infection, (ii) are reduced after 12 months of ART in comparison to pre-ART levels, and (iii) expand to a significantly higher frequency following ART interruption. Quantification of total SIV-gag DNA on sorted DP cells from chronically infected RMs showed that these cells are susceptible to SIV infection. These data reinforce earlier observations that CD20+ T cells are infected and expanded by HIV infection, while suggesting that these cells phenotypically overlap activated CD4+ TFH cells that acquire CD20 expression via trogocytosis and can be targeted as part of therapeutic strategies aimed at HIV remission.
