Stimulating the RIG-I pathway to kill cells in the latent HIV reservoir following viral reactivation.
The persistence of latent HIV proviruses in long-lived CD4(+) T cells despite antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a major obstacle to viral eradication. Because current candidate latency-reversing agents (LRAs) induce HIV transcription,but fail to clear these cellular reservoirs,new approaches for killing these reactivated latent HIV reservoir cells are urgently needed. HIV latency depends upon the transcriptional quiescence of the integrated provirus and the circumvention of immune defense mechanisms. These defenses include cell-intrinsic innate responses that use pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) to detect viral pathogens,and that subsequently induce apoptosis of the infected cell. Retinoic acid (RA)-inducible gene I (RIG-I,encoded by DDX58) forms one class of PRRs that mediates apoptosis and the elimination of infected cells after recognition of viral RNA. Here we show that acitretin,an RA derivative approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA),enhances RIG-I signaling ex vivo,increases HIV transcription,and induces preferential apoptosis of HIV-infected cells. These effects are abrogated by DDX58 knockdown. Acitretin also decreases proviral DNA levels in CD4(+) T cells from HIV-positive subjects on suppressive ART,an effect that is amplified when combined with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA),a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Pharmacological enhancement of an innate cellular-defense network could provide a means by which to eliminate reactivated cells in the latent HIV reservoir.

FcγRIIB-Independent Mechanisms Controlling Membrane Localization of the Inhibitory Phosphatase SHIP in Human B Cells.
SHIP is an important regulator of immune cell signaling that functions to dephosphorylate the phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate at the plasma membrane and mediate protein-protein interactions. One established paradigm for SHIP activation involves its recruitment to the phospho-ITIM motif of the inhibitory receptor FcγRIIB. Although SHIP is essential for the inhibitory function of FcγRIIB,it also has critical modulating functions in signaling initiated from activating immunoreceptors such as B cell Ag receptor. In this study,we found that SHIP is indistinguishably recruited to the plasma membrane after BCR stimulation with or without FcγRIIB coligation in human cell lines and primary cells. Interestingly,fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analysis reveals differential mobility of SHIP-enhanced GFP depending on the mode of stimulation,suggesting that although BCR and FcγRIIB can both recruit SHIP,this occurs via distinct molecular complexes. Mutagenesis of a SHIP-enhanced GFP fusion protein reveals that the SHIP-Src homology 2 domain is essential in both cases whereas the C terminus is required for recruitment via BCR stimulation,but is less important with FcγRIIB coligation. Experiments with pharmacological inhibitors reveal that Syk activity is required for optimal stimulation-induced membrane localization of SHIP,whereas neither PI3K or Src kinase activity is essential. BCR-induced association of SHIP with binding partner Shc1 is dependent on Syk,as is tyrosine phosphorylation of both partners. Our results indicate that FcγRIIB is not uniquely able to promote membrane recruitment of SHIP,but rather modulates its function via formation of distinct signaling complexes. Membrane recruitment of SHIP via Syk-dependent mechanisms may be an important factor modulating immunoreceptor signaling.

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.

A Functional Role for Antibodies in Tuberculosis.
While a third of the world carries the burden of tuberculosis,disease control has been hindered by a lack of tools,including a rapid,point-of-care diagnostic and a protective vaccine. In many infectious diseases,antibodies (Abs) are powerful biomarkers and important immune mediators. However,in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection,a discriminatory or protective role for humoral immunity remains unclear. Using an unbiased antibody profiling approach,we show that individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (Ltb) and active tuberculosis disease (Atb) have distinct Mtb-specific humoral responses,such that Ltb infection is associated with unique Ab Fc functional profiles,selective binding to FcγRIII,and distinct Ab glycosylation patterns. Moreover,compared to Abs from Atb,Abs from Ltb drove enhanced phagolysosomal maturation,inflammasome activation,and,most importantly,macrophage killing of intracellular Mtb. Combined,these data point to a potential role for Fc-mediated Ab effector functions,tuned via differential glycosylation,in Mtb control.

Loss of immune tolerance to IL-2 in type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by a chronic,progressive autoimmune attack against pancreas-specific antigens,effecting the destruction of insulin-producing β-cells. Here we show interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a non-pancreatic autoimmune target in T1D. Anti-IL-2 autoantibodies,as well as T cells specific for a single orthologous epitope of IL-2,are present in the peripheral blood of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and patients with T1D. In NOD mice,the generation of anti-IL-2 autoantibodies is genetically determined and their titre increases with age and disease onset. In T1D patients,circulating IgG memory B cells specific for IL-2 or insulin are present at similar frequencies. Anti-IL-2 autoantibodies cloned from T1D patients demonstrate clonality,a high degree of somatic hypermutation and nanomolar affinities,indicating a germinal centre origin and underscoring the synergy between cognate autoreactive T and B cells leading to defective immune tolerance.
