Project description:Illumina sequencing data used in HIV-CRISPR screen with an ISG-specific sgRNA library (PIKAHIV) to find genes that block infection by the N74D and P90A HIV-1 capsid mutant viruses in THP-1 monocytic cells. For more information on the library and approach see Ohainle et al. eLife 2018 (PMID: 30520725). All screens performed here were done in a clonal ZAP-KO cell line (ZAP may inhibit the HIV-CRISPR vector used in the screen). Here we screen the Cyclophilin A-binding deficient mutant P90A and the CPSF6-binding deficient mutant N74D together with a wild type HIV-1 virus. The N74D screen was performed both with IFN treatment and without. These two HIV-1 capsid mutant viruses are hypersensitive to the effects of IFN.
Project description:The goal of this CRISPR-based screen (HIV-CRISPR) is to identify HIV-1 dependency factors by evaluating multiple pathways simultaneously. Here are Illumina sequencing data and counts files from HIV-CRISPR screens using a guide RNA library targeting the whole genome (TKOv3), a custom guide RNA library targeting human epigenome genes (HuEpi), a custom guide RNA library targeting interferon-stimulated genes (PIKA), and a custom guide RNA library of genes containing of a subset of each of the aforementioned libraries designed to target human dependency factors (HIVDEP). The HIV-CRISPR screens described here were performed in clonal ZAP knockout Jurkat cell lines as ZAP inhibition of the HIV-CRISPR vector has been previously described (PMID: 30520725).

Project description:The goal of this CRISPR-based screen (Latency HIV-CRISPR) is to identify HIV-1 latency factors by evaluating multiple pathways simultaneously. Here are Illumina sequencing data and counts files from a Latency HIV-CRISPR screen using a custom guide RNA library targeting human epigenome genes (HuEpi). The Latency HIV-CRISPR screens described here were performed in clonal ZAP knockout J-Lat 10.6 (PMID: 12682019) or J-Lat 5A8 (PMID: 24204950) cells lines as ZAP inhibition of the HIV-CRISPR vector has been previously described (PMID: 30520725). The screens were performed in the presence or absence of AZD5582, a SMAC mimetic and latency reversal agent, in order to identify factors that are dependent and independent of this transcriptional activator.
Project description:This is data for the evaluation of a new way of counting sgRNAs in CRISPR screens using padlock probes and UMIs. It is compared to the typical PCR-based approach. In particular, a dropout screen was performed in MiaPaCa-2 cells using the Human Kinome CRISPR pooled library (Addgene #75314)
Project description:4T1 mouse tumor cells were screened with a CRISPR library concurrently in vivo in both SCID and immunocompetent mice. Screens were also carried out in vitro.
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:Transcriptional silencing of latent HIV-1 proviruses entails complex and overlapping mechanisms and are a major barrier to in vivo elimination of HIV-1. We developed a new latency CRISPR screening strategy, called Latency HIV-CRISPR, which uses the packaging of guideRNA-encoding lentiviral vector genomes into the supernatant of budding virions as a direct readout of factors involved in the maintenance of HIV-1 latency. We developed a custom guideRNA library targeting epigenetic regulatory genes and paired the screen with and without a latency reversal agent – AZD5582, an activator of the non-canonical NFkB pathway – to examine a combination of mechanisms controlling HIV-1 latency. A component of the Nucleosome Acetyltransferase of H4 histone acetylation (NuA4 HAT) complex, ING3, acts in concert with AZD5582 to activate proviruses in J-Lat cell lines and in a primary CD4+ T cell model of HIV-1 latency. We found that the knockout of ING3 reduces acetylation of the H4 histone tail and BRD4 occupancy on the HIV-1 LTR, and the combination of ING3 knockout with the activation of non-canonical NFkB via AZD5582 act together to dramatically increase initiation and elongation of RNA Polymerase II on the HIV-1 provirus in a manner that is nearly unique among all cellular promoters.
