HMGB1 Is Involved in IFN-α Production and TRAIL Expression by HIV-1-Exposed Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells: Impact of the Crosstalk with NK Cells.
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are innate sensors of viral infections and important mediators of antiviral innate immunity through their ability to produce large amounts of IFN-α. Moreover,Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and 9 (TLR9) ligands,such as HIV and CpG respectively,turn pDCs into TRAIL-expressing killer pDCs able to lyse HIV-infected CD4+ T cells. NK cells can regulate antiviral immunity by modulating pDC functions,and pDC production of IFN-α as well as cell-cell contact is required to promote NK cell functions. Impaired pDC-NK cell crosstalk was reported in the setting of HIV-1 infection,but the impact of HIV-1 on TRAIL expression and innate antiviral immunity during this crosstalk is unknown. Here,we report that low concentrations of CCR5-tropic HIV-1Ba-L promote the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-α,TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL-12,and CCR5-interacting chemokines (MIP-1α and MIP-1β) in NK-pDCs co-cultures. At high HIV-1BaL concentrations,the addition of NK cells did not promote the release of these mediators,suggesting that once efficiently triggered by the virus,pDCs could not integrate new activating signals delivered by NK cells. However,high HIV-1BaL concentrations were required to trigger IFN-α-mediated TRAIL expression at the surface of both pDCs and NK cells during their crosstalk. Interestingly,we identified the alarmin HMGB1,released at pDC-NK cell synapse,as an essential trigger for the secretion of IFN-α and IFN-related soluble mediators during the interplay of HIV-1 exposed pDCs with NK cells. Moreover,HMGB1 was found crucial for mTRAIL translocation to the plasma membrane of both pDCs and NK cells during their crosstalk following pDC exposure to HIV-1. Data from serum analyses of circulating HMGB1,HMGB1-specific antibodies,sTRAIL and IP-10 in a cohort of 67 HIV-1+ patients argue for the in vivo relevance of these observations. Altogether,these findings identify HMGB1 as a trigger for IFN-α-mediated TRAIL expression at the surface of pDCs and NK cells,and they suggest a novel mechanism of innate control of HIV-1 infection.

IFN-Stimulated Gene LY6E in Monocytes Regulates the CD14/TLR4 Pathway but Inadequately Restrains the Hyperactivation of Monocytes during Chronic HIV-1 Infection
Owing to ongoing recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns,immune activation and upregulation of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) are sustained in the chronically infected host. Albeit most ISGs are important effectors for containing viral replication,some might exert compensatory immune suppression to limit pathological dysfunctions,although the mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study,we report that the ISG lymphocyte Ag 6 complex,locus E (LY6E) is a negative immune regulator of monocytes. LY6E in monocytes negatively modulated CD14 expression and subsequently dampened the responsiveness to LPS stimulation in vitro. In the setting of chronic HIV infection,the upregulation of LY6E was correlated with reduced CD14 level on monocytes; however,the immunosuppressive effect of LY6E was not adequate to remedy the hyperresponsiveness of activated monocytes. Taken together,the regulatory LY6E pathway in monocytes represents one of negative feedback mechanisms that counterbalance monocyte activation,which might be caused by LPS translocation through the compromised gastrointestinal tract during persistent HIV-1 infection and may serve as a potential target for immune intervention.

HIV-1 and HIV-2 exhibit divergent interactions with HLTF and UNG2 DNA repair proteins.
HIV replication in nondividing host cells occurs in the presence of high concentrations of noncanonical dUTP,apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing,enzyme-catalytic,polypeptide-like 3 (APOBEC3) cytidine deaminases,and SAMHD1 (a cell cycle-regulated dNTP triphosphohydrolase) dNTPase,which maintains low concentrations of canonical dNTPs in these cells. These conditions favor the introduction of marks of DNA damage into viral cDNA,and thereby prime it for processing by DNA repair enzymes. Accessory protein Vpr,found in all primate lentiviruses,and its HIV-2/simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) SIVsm paralogue Vpx,hijack the CRL4(DCAF1) E3 ubiquitin ligase to alleviate some of these conditions,but the extent of their interactions with DNA repair proteins has not been thoroughly characterized. Here,we identify HLTF,a postreplication DNA repair helicase,as a common target of HIV-1/SIVcpz Vpr proteins. We show that HIV-1 Vpr reprograms CRL4(DCAF1) E3 to direct HLTF for proteasome-dependent degradation independent from previously reported Vpr interactions with base excision repair enzyme uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG2) and crossover junction endonuclease MUS81,which Vpr also directs for degradation via CRL4(DCAF1) E3. Thus,separate functions of HIV-1 Vpr usurp CRL4(DCAF1) E3 to remove key enzymes in three DNA repair pathways. In contrast,we find that HIV-2 Vpr is unable to efficiently program HLTF or UNG2 for degradation. Our findings reveal complex interactions between HIV-1 and the DNA repair machinery,suggesting that DNA repair plays important roles in the HIV-1 life cycle. The divergent interactions of HIV-1 and HIV-2 with DNA repair enzymes and SAMHD1 imply that these viruses use different strategies to guard their genomes and facilitate their replication in the host.

HIV infection upregulates caveolin 1 expression to restrict virus production.
Caveolin 1 (Cav-1) is a major protein of a specific membrane lipid raft known as caveolae. Cav-1 interacts with the gp41 of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope,but the role of Cav-1 in HIV replication and pathogenesis is not known. In this report,we demonstrate that HIV infection in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs),THP-1 macrophages,and U87-CD4 cells results in a dramatic upregulation of Cav-1 expression mediated by HIV Tat. The activity of p53 is essential for Tat-induced Cav-1 expression,as our findings show enhanced phosphorylation of serine residues at amino acid positions 15 and 46 in the presence of Tat with a resulting Cav-1 upregulation. Furthermore,inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) blocked phosphorylation of p53 in the presence of Tat. Infection studies of Cav-1-overexpressing cells reveal a significant reduction of HIV production. Taken together,these results suggest that HIV infection enhances the expression of Cav-1,which subsequently causes virus reduction,suggesting that Cav-1 may contribute to persistent infection in macrophages.

Ex vivo T cell-based HIV suppression assay to evaluate HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell responses.
To advance T cell-based HIV vaccine development,it is necessary to evaluate the immune correlates of a protective CD8(+) T-cell response. We have developed an assay that assesses the capacity ex vivo of HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells to suppress HIV-1 infection of autologous CD4(+) T cells. This assay directly reflects the ultimate effector function of CD8(+) T cells,the elimination of infected cells,and accurately differentiates the effective CD8(+) T-cell response in spontaneous HIV controllers from ineffective responses in other patients. In this article,we describe all the steps from cell purification to assessment of viral replication by HIV-p24 ELISA and analysis,along with conditions for cell culturing,and how to choose the viral infectious dose that gives the most reliable results. We also depict the conditions of a rapid assay on the basis of flow cytometry analysis of intracellular HIV-Gag products. These procedures take 14-17 d when the p24 ELISA assay is used,or 6 d with the intracellular Gag assay.

Race between retroviral spread and CD4+ T-cell response determines the outcome of acute Friend virus infection.
Retroviruses can establish persistent infection despite induction of a multipartite antiviral immune response. Whether collective failure of all parts of the immune response or selective deficiency in one crucial part underlies the inability of the host to clear retroviral infections is currently uncertain. We examine here the contribution of virus-specific CD4(+) T cells in resistance against Friend virus (FV) infection in the murine host. We show that the magnitude and duration of the FV-specific CD4(+) T-cell response is directly proportional to resistance against acute FV infection and subsequent disease. Notably,significant protection against FV-induced disease is afforded by FV-specific CD4(+) T cells in the absence of a virus-specific CD8(+) T-cell or B-cell response. Enhanced spread of FV infection in hosts with increased genetic susceptibility or coinfection with Lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV) causes a proportional increase in the number of FV-specific CD4(+) T cells required to control FV-induced disease. Furthermore,ultimate failure of FV/LDV coinfected hosts to control FV-induced disease is accompanied by accelerated contraction of the FV-specific CD4(+) T-cell response. Conversely,an increased frequency or continuous supply of FV-specific CD4(+) T cells is both necessary and sufficient to effectively contain acute infection and prevent disease,even in the presence of coinfection. Thus,these results suggest that FV-specific CD4(+) T cells provide significant direct protection against acute FV infection,the extent of which critically depends on the ratio of FV-infected cells to FV-specific CD4(+) T cells.

HIV-1-triggered release of type I IFN by plasmacytoid dendritic cells induces BAFF production in monocytes.
HIV-1 infection leads to numerous B cell abnormalities,including hypergammaglobulinemia,nonspecific B cell activation,nonspecific class switching,increased cell turnover,breakage of tolerance,increased immature/transitional B cells,B cell malignancies,as well as a loss of capacity to generate and maintain memory,all of which contribute to a global impairment of the immune humoral compartment. Several cytokines and soluble factors,which are increased in sera of HIV-1-infected individuals,have been suggested to directly or indirectly contribute to these B cell dysfunctions,and one of these is the B cell-activating factor (BAFF). We report in this study that HIV-1 (X4- and R5-tropic) upregulates BAFF expression and secretion by human monocytes. Moreover,we show that the virus-mediated production of BAFF by monocytes relies on a type I IFN response by a small percentage of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) present in the monocyte cultures. HIV-1-induced type I IFN by pDCs triggers BAFF production in both classical and intermediate monocytes,but not in nonclassical monocytes,which nonetheless display a very strong basal BAFF production. We report also that basal BAFF secretion was higher in monocytes obtained from females compared with those from male donors. This study provides a novel mechanistic explanation for the increased BAFF levels observed during HIV-1 infection and highlights the importance of pDC/monocyte crosstalk to drive BAFF secretion.

HIV-1 Vpu Mediates HLA-C Downregulation.
Many pathogens evade cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) by downregulating HLA molecules on infected cells,but the loss of HLA can trigger NK cell-mediated lysis. HIV-1 is thought to subvert CTLs while preserving NK cell inhibition by Nef-mediated downregulation of HLA-A and -B but not HLA-C molecules. We find that HLA-C is downregulated by most primary HIV-1 clones,including transmitted founder viruses,in contrast to the laboratory-adapted NL4-3 virus. HLA-C reduction is mediated by viral Vpu and reduces the ability of HLA-C restricted CTLs to suppress viral replication in CD4+ cells in vitro. HLA-A/B are unaffected by Vpu,and primary HIV-1 clones vary in their ability to downregulate HLA-C,possibly in response to whether CTLs or NK cells dominate immune pressure through HLA-C. HIV-2 also suppresses HLA-C expression through distinct mechanisms,underscoring the immune pressure HLA-C exerts on HIV. This viral immune evasion casts new light on the roles of CTLs and NK cells in immune responses against HIV.
