Innate Immune Training Enhances the Reactivation of Latently Infected HIV-1 from Monocytic Cell lines
Journal of Immunology(2023)
摘要
Abstract HIV virus can persist in a latent but activatable chronic state in resting CD4 +T-cells and macrophages that are more persistent, leading to the requirement of lifelong combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The latency of HIV-1 in macrophage cells is associated with increased chromatin condensation induced by histone methylation at HIV-1 integration sites. Innate immune training of macrophages has been shown to relieve chromosome condensation through epigenetic rewiring. We hypothesized that training of macrophages could enhance the reactivation of HIV-1 by opening the chromatin to facilitate transcription in response to Latency Reversing Agents (LRAs). We used beta-glucan, Syk inhibitor and Rutaecarpine to train the THP89GFP cell line, which is an experimental model for latently infected HIV-1 monocytes. We found that these trained THP89GFP cells have higher transcription of HIV-1 specific genes in response to PMA stimulation. To check the epigenetic changes associated with training in the proviral HIV-1 DNA of THP89GFP, we performed a chromatin immunoprecipitation for the histone mark, H3K27Ac. Consistent with the higher induction of transcription of HIV-1 genes, we observed that multiple regions of the HIV-1 LTR had higher deposition of H3K27Ac in the trained macrophages. Our studies thus show that induction of trained innate immunity may be a viable approach to the reactivation of latently infected HIV-1. This finding supports the hypothesis that innate immune training stimuli could be developed as novel candidates for enhancing reactivation of latently infected HIV-1, which may facilitate elimination of macrophage reservoirs.
