Project description:The study describes miRNA expression in Gingival tissue of chronically SIV-infected rhesus macaques. HIV/SIV-associated periodontal disease (gingivitis/periodontitis) (PD) represents a major comorbidity affecting HIV patients on anti-retroviral therapy. Employing a systems biology approach, we report molecular changes underlying PD and its modulation by phytocannabinoids [delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (9-THC)] in uninfected and SIV-infected rhesus macaques (RMs) untreated (VEH-untreated/SIV) or treated with vehicle (VEH/SIV) or 9-THC (THC/SIV). VEH- untreated/SIV but not THC/SIV RMs showed significant enrichment of genes linked to anti-viral defense, interferon-beta, NFkB, RIG-1, and JAK-STAT signaling. We focused on the anti-microbial DUOX1 and immune activation marker IDO1 that were reciprocally regulated in gingiva of VEH-untreated/SIV RMs. Both proteins localized to the gingival epithelium and CD163+ macrophages, and showed differential expression in the gingiva of THC/SIV and VEH/SIV RMs. Additionally, inflammation-associated miR-21, miR-142-3p, miR-223, and miR-125a-5p showed significantly higher expression in the gingiva of VEH/SIV RMs. In human primary gingival epithelial cells, miR-125a-5p post-transcriptionally downregulated DUOX1 These findings strongly support a role for differential miRNA expression associated with HIV/SIV induced gingival mucosal dysfunction.

Interestingly, THC/SIV RMs showed relatively reduced plasma levels of kynurenine, kynurenate, and the neurotoxic quinolinate compared to VEH/SIV RMs. Most importantly, THC blocked HIV/SIV-induced depletion of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, and reduced Gammaproteobacteria abundance in saliva. Reduced IDO1 protein expression was associated with significantly (p<0.05) higher abundance of Prevotella, Lactobacillus (L. salivarius, L. buchneri, L. fermentum, L. paracasei, L. rhamnosus, L. johnsonii) and Bifidobacteria and reduced abundance of the pathogenic Porphyromonas cangingivalis and Porphyromonas macacae. These translational findings suggest that phytocannabinoids could help reduce gingival/systemic inflammation and salivary dysbiosis in ART naïve and treated HIV individuals.

Project description:The study describes miRNA expression in Oropharyngeal tissue of chronically SIV-infected rhesus macaques. To identify the underlying molecular mechanisms we simultaneously profiled miRNA and mRNA expression in oropharyngeal tissues of chronically simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected rhesus macaques (RMs). Relative to controls, we identified 48 (38-upregulated and 10 downregulated) differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs relative to uninfected controls (n=5). Interestingly, in terms of magnitude, miR-19a, miR-301, miR-142-3p, miR-32 and miR-142-5p were among a select list of miRNAs that showed the highest upregulation in OPM. An important finding is the significant upregulation in OPM of miR-21, a microRNA known to regulate periodontitis, T-cell activation and oral carcinoma. Interestingly, RNA-seq for gene expression profiling also confirmed miR-21 upregulation in OPM of VEH-untreated/SIV rhesus macaques. Using TargetScan 7.2, we identified TSC22D3 (TSC22-domain family member 3), an anti-inflammatory protein induced by glucocorticoids and IL10 that was significantly downregulated in OPM of VEH-untreated/SIV macaques to be a predicted target of miR-29b. TSC22D3 localized to minor salivary gland acini and secretory ducts and showed reduced expression in OPM of VEH-untreated chronically SIV macaques. Using luciferase reporter and overexpression assays, we confirmed TSC22D3 to be a direct target of miR-29b. Interestingly, expression of miR-150 was significantly downregulated, a miRNA we previously demonstrated to be downregulated during T cell activation in the intestine. These findings strongly support a role for differential miRNA expression associated with HIV/SIV induced oropharyngeal mucosal dysfunction.

Project description:The study describes miRNA expression changes in basal ganglia (BG) of chronically SIV-infected rhesus macaques. HIV/SIV-associated neurological disorder (HAND) represents a major comorbidity affecting HIV patients on anti-retroviral therapy. Employing a systems biology approach, we report molecular changes underlying HAND and its modulation by phytocannabinoids [delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (9-THC)] in uninfected and SIV-infected rhesus macaques (RMs) treated with vehicle (VEH/SIV) or 9-THC (THC/SIV). VEH/SIV but not THC/SIV RMs showed significant enrichment of genes linked to anti-viral defense, interferon-beta, NFkB, RIG-1, and JAK-STAT signaling. We focused on the anti-endoplasmic reticulum (WFS1) and anti-oxidative stress (CRYM) proteins that were significantly downregulated in BG of VEH/SIV RMs. Both proteins localized to the BG neurons, and showed differential expression in the BG of THC/SIV and VEH/SIV RMs. Additionally, inflammation-associated miR-155 and miR-142-3p showed significantly higher expression in the BG of VEH/SIV RMs. In human primary HCN2 neuronal cells, miR-142-3p post-transcriptionally downregulated WFS1. These findings strongly support a role for differential miRNA expression associated with HIV/SIV induced neurological dysfunction.

Project description:HIV/SIV associated oral mucosal disease/dysfunction (HAOMD) (gingivitis/periodontitis/salivary adenitis) represents a major comorbidity affecting HIV patients on anti-retroviral therapy. Using a systems biology approach, we investigated molecular changes (mRNA/microRNA) underlying HAOMD and its modulation by phytocannabinoids [delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC)] in uninfected (n=5) and SIV-infected rhesus macaques untreated (VEH-untreated/SIV; n=7) or treated with vehicle (VEH/SIV; n=3) or Δ9-THC (THC/SIV; n=3). Relative to controls fewer mRNAs were upregulated in THC/SIV compared to VEH-untreated/SIV macaques. Gene enrichment analysis showed differential enrichment of biological functions involved in anti-viral defense, Type-I interferon, Toll-like receptor, RIG-1 and IL1R signaling in VEH-untreated/SIV macaques. We focused on the anti-ER-stress anterior gradient-2 (AGR2), epithelial barrier protecting and anti-dysbiotic WAP Four-Disulfide Core Domain 2 (WFDC2), and glucocorticoid-induced anti-inflammatory TSC22D3 (TSC22-domain family member 3) that were significantly downregulated in OPM of VEH-untreated/SIV macaques. All three proteins localized to minor salivary gland acini and secretory ducts and showed enhanced and reduced expression in OPM of THC/SIV and VEH/SIV macaques, respectively. Additionally, inflammation associated miR-21, miR-142-3p and miR-29b showed significantly higher expression in OPM of VEH-untreated/SIV macaques. TSC22D3 was validated as a target of miR-29b. These preliminary translational findings suggest that phytocannabinoids may safely and effectively reduce oral inflammatory responses in HIV/SIV and other diseases.

Project description:In SIV/HIV infection, the gastrointestinal tissue dominates as an important site due to the impact of massive mucosal CD4 depletion and immune activation-induced tissue pathology. Unlike AIDS-susceptible rhesus macaques, natural hosts do not progress to AIDS and resolve immune activation earlier. Here, we examine the role of dendritic cells in mediating immune activation and disease progression. We demonstrate that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) in the blood upregulate ?7-integrin and are rapidly recruited to the colorectum following a pathogenic SIV infection in rhesus macaques. These pDC were capable of producing proinflammatory cytokines and primed a Tc1 response in vitro. Consistent with the upregulation of ?7-integrin on pDC, in vivo blockade of ?4?7-integrin dampened pDC recruitment to the colorectum and resulted in reduced immune activation. The upregulation of ?7-integrin expression on pDC in the blood was also observed in HIV-infected humans but not in chronically SIV-infected sooty mangabeys that show low levels of immune activation. Our results uncover a new mechanism by which pDC influence immune activation in colorectal tissue following pathogenic immunodeficiency virus infections. SIV negative controls (n=4) and week 12 post SIV infected (n=4) groups of Rhesus macaques and SIV negative controls (n=4) and week 55 post SIV infected (n=4) groups of Sooty mangabeys colorectal tissue biopsies were collected in to RNA later reagent (Qiagen) and were homogenized with syringe and needle method. RNA was extracted with Rneasy mini kit (Qiagen) and was used for microarray experiments. Rhesus GeneChip assays were performed in the Yerkes Microarray Core Facility (www.microarray.emory.edu) , one of the Affymetrix Microarray Core Labs.The 0.5µg of total RNA sample was analyzed on Rhesus Macaque Genome GeneChip that consists of over 52,000 probe sets (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Target RNA labeling, hybridization and post-hybridization processing were performed following the Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Analysis standard protocols. In brief, The 5 ?g of RNA sample was first reverse-transcribed using T7-Oligo(dT) Promoter Primer and SuperScript II in the first-strand cDNAs synthesis reaction. Following RNase H-mediated second-stranded cDNA synthesis, the double-stranded cDNAs were purified by use of a GeneChip sample clean-up module and served as templates in the generation of biotinylated complementary RNAs (cRNAs) in the presence of T7 RNA Polymerase and a biotinylated nucleotide analog/ribonucleotide mix by in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction. The biotinylated cRNAs were cleaned up, fragmented, and hybridized to the rhesus macaque expression arrays at 45°C for 16 h with constant rotation at 60 rpm. The gene chips were then washed and stained with Affymetrix fluidics stations 450 and scanned on Affymetrix scanner 3000. The images are processed to collect raw data with GeneChip Operating Software (GCOS) 1.4. Tissue: Colorectal tissue Time after SIV infection: 12 weeks for SIV infected Rhesus macaques, 55 weeks for Sooty mangabeys Infection: SIVmac251 infection for Rhesus macaques, SIVsm infection for Sooty mangabeys
