CIB1 and CIB2 are HIV-1 helper factors involved in viral entry.
HIV-1 relies on the host-cell machinery to accomplish its replication cycle,and characterization of these helper factors contributes to a better understanding of HIV-host interactions and can identify potential novel antiviral targets. Here we explored the contribution of CIB2,previously identified by RNAi screening as a potential helper factor,and its homolog,CIB1. Knockdown of either CIB1 or CIB2 strongly impaired viral replication in Jurkat cells and in primary CD4+ T-lymphocytes,identifying these proteins as non-redundant helper factors. Knockdown of CIB1 and CIB2 impaired envelope-mediated viral entry for both for X4- and R5-tropic HIV-1,and both cell-free and cell-associated entry pathways were affected. In contrast,the level of CIB1 and CIB2 expression did not influence cell viability,cell proliferation,receptor-independent viral binding to the cell surface,or later steps in the viral replication cycle. CIB1 and CIB2 knockdown was found to reduce the expression of surface molecules implicated in HIV-1 infection,including CXCR4,CCR5 and integrin α4β7,suggesting at least one mechanism through which these proteins promote viral infection. Thus,this study identifies CIB1 and CIB2 as host helper factors for HIV-1 replication that are required for optimal receptor-mediated viral entry.

Comparative efficiency of HIV-1-infected T cell killing by NK cells, monocytes and neutrophils.
HIV-1 infected cells are eliminated in infected individuals by a variety of cellular mechanisms,the best characterized of which are cytotoxic T cell and NK cell-mediated killing. An additional antiviral mechanism is antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Here we use primary CD4(+) T cells infected with the BaL clone of HIV-1 as target cells and autologous NK cells,monocytes,and neutrophils as effector cells,to quantify the cytotoxicity mediated by the different effectors. This was carried out in the presence or absence of HIV-1-specific antiserum to assess antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. We show that at the same effector to target ratio,NK cells and monocytes mediate similar levels of both antibody-dependent and antibody-independent killing of HIV-1-infected T cells. Neutrophils mediated significant antibody-dependent killing of targets,but were less effective than monocytes or NK cells. These data have implications for acquisition and control of HIV-1 in natural infection and in the context of vaccination.

Chaetocin: a promising new antimyeloma agent with in vitro and in vivo activity mediated via imposition of oxidative stress.
Chaetocin,a thiodioxopiperazine natural product previously unreported to have anticancer effects,was found to have potent antimyeloma activity in IL-6-dependent and -independent myeloma cell lines in freshly collected sorted and unsorted patient CD138(+) myeloma cells and in vivo. Chaetocin largely spares matched normal CD138(-) patient bone marrow leukocytes,normal B cells,and neoplastic B-CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) cells,indicating a high degree of selectivity even in closely lineage-related B cells. Furthermore,chaetocin displays superior ex vivo antimyeloma activity and selectivity than doxorubicin and dexamethasone,and dexamethasone- or doxorubicin-resistant myeloma cell lines are largely non-cross-resistant to chaetocin. Mechanistically,chaetocin is dramatically accumulated in cancer cells via a process inhibited by glutathione and requiring intact/unreduced disulfides for uptake. Once inside the cell,its anticancer activity appears mediated primarily through the imposition of oxidative stress and consequent apoptosis induction. Moreover,the selective antimyeloma effects of chaetocin appear not to reflect differential intracellular accumulation of chaetocin but,instead,heightened sensitivity of myeloma cells to the cytotoxic effects of imposed oxidative stress. Considered collectively,chaetocin appears to represent a promising agent for further study as a potential antimyeloma therapeutic.

Dual signaling of MyD88 and TRIF is critical for maximal TLR4-induced dendritic cell maturation.
TLR4 is a unique TLR because downstream signaling occurs via two separate pathways,as follows: MyD88 and Toll IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor-inducing IFN-beta (TRIF). In this study,we compared and contrasted the interplay of these pathways between murine dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages during LPS stimulation. During TLR4 activation,neither pathway on its own was critical for up-regulation of costimulatory molecules in DCs,whereas the up-regulation of costimulatory molecules was largely TRIF dependent in macrophages. LPS-induced secreted factors,of which type I IFNs were one of the active components,played a larger role in promoting the up-regulation of costimulatory molecules in macrophages than DCs. In both cell types,MyD88 and TRIF pathways together accounted for the inflammatory response to LPS activation. Furthermore,signaling of both adaptors allowed maximal T cell priming by LPS-matured DCs,with MyD88 playing a larger role than TRIF. In sum,in our experimental systems,TRIF signaling plays a more important role in LPS-induced macrophage activation than in DC activation.

Alternative splicing regulates activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID): implications for suppression of AID mutagenic activity in normal and malignant B cells.
The mutagenic enzyme activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is required for immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) in germinal center (GC) B cells. Deregulated expression of AID is associated with various B-cell malignancies and,currently,it remains unclear how AID activity is extinguished to avoid illegitimate mutations. AID has also been shown to be alternatively spliced in malignant B cells,and there is limited evidence that this also occurs in normal blood B cells. The functional significance of these splice variants remains unknown. Here we show that normal GC human B cells and blood memory B cells similarly express AID splice variants and show for the first time that AID splicing variants are singly expressed in individual normal B cells as well as malignant B cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. We further demonstrate that the alternative AID splice variants display different activities ranging from inactivation of CSR to inactivation or heightened SHM activity. Our data therefore suggest that CSR and SHM are differentially switched off by varying the expression of splicing products of AID at the individual cell level. Most importantly,our findings suggest a novel tumor suppression mechanism by which unnecessary AID mutagenic activities are promptly contained for GC B cells.

Memory inflation during chronic viral infection is maintained by continuous production of short-lived, functional T cells.
During persistent murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection,the T cell response is maintained at extremely high intensity for the life of the host. These cells closely resemble human CMV-specific cells,which compose a major component of the peripheral T cell compartment in most people. Despite a phenotype that suggests extensive antigen-driven differentiation,MCMV-specific T cells remain functional and respond vigorously to viral challenge. We hypothesized that a low rate of antigen-driven proliferation would account for the maintenance of this population. Instead,we found that most of these cells divided only sporadically in chronically infected hosts and had a short half-life in circulation. The overall population was supported,at least in part,by memory T cells primed early in infection,as well as by recruitment of naive T cells at late times. Thus,these data show that memory inflation is maintained by a continuous replacement of short-lived,functional cells during chronic MCMV infection.

Cytoplasmic APOBEC3G restricts incoming Vif-positive human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and increases two-long terminal repeat circle formation in activated T-helper-subtype cells.
Cytoplasmic APOBEC3G has been reported to block wild-type human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in some primary cells. It is not known whether cytoplasmic APOBEC3G has residual activity in activated T cells,even though virion-packaged APOBEC3G does restrict HIV-1 in activated T cells. Because we found that APOBEC3G expression is greater in activated CD4(+) T-helper type 1 (Th1) lymphocytes than in T-helper type 2 (Th2) lymphocytes,we hypothesized that residual target cell restriction of incoming Vif-positive virions that lack APOBEC3G,if present,would be greater in Th1 than Th2 lymphocytes. Infection of activated Th1 cells with APOBEC3-negative virions did result in decreased amounts of early and late reverse transcription products and integrated virus relative to infection of activated Th2 cells. Two-long terminal repeat (2-LTR) circles,which are formed in the nucleus when reverse transcripts do not integrate,were increased after APOBEC3-negative virus infection of activated Th1 cells relative to infection of activated Th2 cells. In contrast,2-LTR circle forms were decreased after infection of APOBEC3G-negative cells with APOBEC3G-containing virions relative to APOBEC3G-negative virions and with Th1 cell-produced virions relative to Th2 cell-produced virions. Increasing APOBEC3G in Th2 cells and decreasing APOBEC3G in Th1 cells modulated the target cell phenotypes,indicating causation by APOBEC3G. The comparison between activated Th1 and Th2 cells indicates that cytoplasmic APOBEC3G in activated Th1 cells partially restricts reverse transcription and integration of incoming Vif-positive,APOBEC3G-negative HIV-1. The differing effects of cytoplasmic and virion-packaged APOBEC3G on 2-LTR circle formation indicate a difference in their antiviral mechanisms.

Hexamethylene bisacetamide impairs NK cell-mediated clearance of acute T lymphoblastic leukemia cells and HIV-1-infected T cells that exit viral latency.
The hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) anticancer drug was dismissed due to limited efficacy in leukemic patients but it may re-enter into the clinics in HIV-1 eradication strategies because of its recently disclosed capacity to reactivate latent virus. Here,we investigated the impact of HMBA on the cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells against acute T lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cells or HIV-1-infected T cells that exit from latency. We show that in T-ALL cells HMBA upmodulated MICB and ULBP2 ligands for the NKG2D activating receptor. In a primary CD4+ T cell-based latency model,HMBA did not reactivate HIV-1,yet enhanced ULBP2 expression on cells harboring virus reactivated by prostratin (PRO). However,HMBA reduced the expression of NKG2D and its DAP10 adaptor in NK cells,hence impairing NKG2D-mediated cytotoxicity and DAP10-dependent response to IL-15 stimulation. Alongside,HMBA dampened killing of T-ALL targets by IL-15-activated NK cells and impaired NK cell-mediated clearance of PRO-reactivated HIV-1+ cells. Overall,our results demonstrate a dominant detrimental effect of HMBA on the NKG2D pathway that crucially controls NK cell-mediated killing of tumors and virus-infected cells,providing one possible explanation for poor clinical outcome in HMBA-treated cancer patients and raising concerns for future therapeutic application of this drug.

Identification of rare HIV-1-infected patients with extreme CD4+ T cell decline despite ART-mediated viral suppression.
BACKGROUND The goal of antiretroviral therapy (ART) is to suppress HIV-1 replication and reconstitute CD4+ T cells. Here,we report on HIV-infected individuals who had a paradoxical decline in CD4+ T cells despite ART-mediated suppression of plasma HIV-1 load (pVL). We defined such an immunological outcome as extreme immune decline (EXID). METHODS EXID's clinical and immunological characteristics were compared to immunological responders (IRs),immunological nonresponders (INRs),healthy controls (HCs),and idiopathic CD4+ lymphopenia (ICL) patients. T cell immunophenotyping and assembly/activation of inflammasomes were evaluated by flow cytometry. PBMC transcriptome analysis and genetic screening for pathogenic variants were performed. Levels of cytokines/chemokines were measured by electrochemiluminescence. Luciferase immunoprecipitation system and NK-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) assays were used to identify anti-lymphocyte autoantibodies. RESULTS EXIDs were infected with non-B HIV-1 subtypes and after 192 weeks of consistent ART-mediated pVL suppression had a median CD4+ decrease of 157 cells/mul,compared with CD4+ increases of 193 cells/mul and 427 cells/mul in INR and IR,respectively. EXID had reduced naive CD4+ T cells,but similar proportions of cycling CD4+ T cells and HLA-DR+CD38+CD8+ T cells compared with IR and INR. Levels of inflammatory cytokines were also similar in EXID and INR,but the IL-7 axis was profoundly perturbed compared with HC,IR,INR,and ICL. Genes involved in T cell and monocyte/macrophage function,autophagy,and cell migration were differentially expressed in EXID. Two of the 5 EXIDs had autoantibodies causing ADCC,while 2 different EXIDs had an increased inflammasome/caspase-1 activation despite consistently ART-suppressed pVL. CONCLUSIONS EXID is a distinct immunological outcome compared with previously described INR. Anti-CD4+ T cell autoantibodies and aberrant inflammasome/caspase-1 activation despite suppressed HIV-1 viremia are among the mechanisms responsible for EXID.
