    Abstract Background: Understanding factors affecting the size and the evolution of the HIV reservoir is essential for the development of curative strategies. This study aimed to assess the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiated during primary infection (PHI) vs chronic infection (CHI) on the levels and dynamics of integrated HIV-1 DNA, a biomarker of viral persistence. Methods: Integrated and total HIV-1-DNA were measured in the blood of 92 patients treated during PHI (early group) and 41 during CHI (deferred group), at diagnosis, ART initiation, and 12–24 months on treatment. Results: On ART, detectable (>1.78 log10 copies/106 PBMCs) integrated HIV-1 DNA levels were significantly lower in the early vs deferred group (2.99 log10 vs 3.29 log10, p = 0.005). The proportion of undetectable integrated HIV-1 DNA tended to be higher in the early group vs deferred group (61 % vs 46 %; p = 0.133). Conclusion: Treatment initiated at PHI limits the levels of integrated HIV-1 DNA in blood. However, initiating treatment at CHI does not allow reaching such low levels in most patients, probably because the stable proviruses at that stage are present in the less prone to elimination long-lived cells. Thus, early ART could provide an opportunity to preparing for functional cure and eradication strategies.

    Abstract Background: Less than 1% of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected individuals are able to achieve spontaneous viral control without requiring antiretroviral therapy (ART). Whether these HIV controllers (HIC) are at risk of HIV-associated comorbidities and could benefit from ART is debated, but recent studies reported decreased T-cell activation upon ART initiation. We report the frequency of ART initiation, reasons to treat, treatment outcome on immunovirological parameters, and rate of side-effects and treatment discontinuation in the French cohort of HIC. Methods: Participants included in the French multicenter Agence Nationale de Recherche sur le SIDA et les Hépatites (ANRS) Cohorte des extremes (CODEX) cohort of HIC between July 6, 2007 and January 3, 2018 were prospectively followed. ART initiation, indication, discontinuation, non-Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)-defining events, side-effects, and immunovirological parameters were recorded. Undetectable HIC (u-HIC) were defined as participants with strictly undetectable viral loads based on routinely used assays throughout the follow-up and blipper HIC (b-HIC) as participants with possible detectable viral loads above the detection threshold during follow-up. Findings: Among 302 HIC followed for a median of 14.8 years [10.3–20.2], 90 (30%) received ART (7 u-HIC and 83 b-HIC). The main reasons for ART initiation were decreased CD4 T-cell counts (n = 36, 40%), loss of virological control (n = 13, 14%), and non-AIDS-defining events (n = 12, 13%). Sixteen (18%) participants experienced 17 grade 1–2 adverse events. In b-HIC, ART slightly increased the CD4/CD8 ratio (median +0.19, p < 0.0001) and decreased the frequency of circulating CD38+ HLA-DR.+ CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes (median -0.75%, p = 0.003, and -2%, p < 0.0001, respectively), but these changes were not observed for treated u-HIC. Thirteen (14%) participants discontinued ART (5 (38%) because of side-effects, and 10 remained HIC after treatment cessation (median follow-up: 305 days ...

    Abstract Abstract HIV remission can be achieved in some people, called post-treatment HIV controllers, after antiretroviral treatment discontinuation. Treatment initiation close to the time of infection was suggested to favor post-treatment control, but the circumstances and mechanisms leading to this outcome remain unclear. Here we evaluate the impact of early (week 4) vs. late (week 24 post-infection) treatment initiation in SIVmac251-infected male cynomolgus macaques receiving 2 years of therapy before analytical treatment interruption. We show that early treatment strongly promotes post-treatment control, which is not related to a lower frequency of infected cells at treatment interruption. Rather, early treatment favors the development of long-term memory CD8+ T cells with enhanced proliferative and SIV suppressive capacity that are able to mediate a robust secondary-like response upon viral rebound. Our model allows us to formally demonstrate a link between treatment initiation during primary infection and the promotion of post-treatment control and provides results that may guide the development of new immunotherapies for HIV remission.

    Abstract Background: Interpretation of the increase in certain inflammatory markers in virally suppressed HIV-infected individuals must rely on an appropriate uninfected control group well characterized for non-HIV-related factors that contribute to chronic inflammation, e.g. smoking, alcohol consumption, or being overweight. We compared the inflammatory profiles of HIV-infected participants under long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART) with those of two HIV-uninfected groups with contrasting health behaviours. Methods: We studied 150 HIV-infected participants (42 women, 108 men) under long-term ART (median, 6 years) followed in the ANRS PRIMO cohort since acute/early HIV-1 infection (AHI) diagnosis. Sex and age-matched controls were sampled from i) the ANRS IPERGAY pre-exposure prophylaxis trial among men at high risk for HIV infection and with high frequencies of non-HIV factors of inflammation ii) the ANRS COHVAC cohort of volunteers in vaccine trials with a low-risk profile for HIV infection. We measured the plasma levels of ten inflammatory markers. Findings: After adjusting for smoking, alcohol use and body mass index, both HIV-infected men and women had higher levels of sCD14, sCD163, sTNFRII and I-FABP than their high-risk IPERGAY and low-risk COHVAC counterparts. Hierarchical clustering showed a subset of 15 PRIMO participants to have an inflammatory profile similar to that of most HIV-negative participants. These participants already had favourable markers at AHI diagnosis. Interpretation: Long-term ART, even when initiated at a low level of immunodeficiency, fails to normalize monocyte/macrophage activation and gut epithelial dysfunction. Persistent inflammation under treatment may be related to an increased inflammatory profile since AHI. Funding: ANRS and Paris-Saclay University.

    Abstract Background: In the current context of research on HIV reservoirs, offering new insights into the persistence of HIV DNA in infected cells, which prevents viral eradication, may aid in identifying cure strategies. This study aimed to describe the establishment of stable integrated forms among total HIV DNA during primary infection (PHI) and their dynamics during the natural history of infection. Methods: Total and integrated HIV DNA were quantified in blood from 74 PHI patients and 97 recent seroconverters (<12 months following infection, “progression cohort”). The evolution of both markers over six years was modelled (mixed-effect linear models). Their predictive values for disease progression were studied (Cox models). Findings: For most patients during PHI, stable integrated forms were a minority among total HIV DNA (median: 12%) and became predominant thereafter (median at AIDS stage: 100%). Both total and integrated HIV DNA increased over a six-year period. Patients from the progression cohort who reached clinical AIDS during follow-up (n = 34) exhibited higher total and integrated HIV DNA levels at seroconversion and a higher percentage of integrated forms than did slower progressors (n = 63) (median: 100% vs 44%). The integrated HIV DNA load was strongly associated with the risk of developing AIDS (aRR = 2.63, p = 0.002). Interpretation: The profile of “rapid” or “slower” progression in the natural history of HIV infection appears to be determined early in the course of HIV infection. The strong predominance of unstable unintegrated forms in PHI may explain the great benefit of this early treatment, which induces a sharp decrease in total HIV DNA.

    Abstract Summary: Background: The multiplicity, heterogeneity, and dynamic nature of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) latency mechanisms are reflected in the current lack of functional cure for HIV-1. Accordingly, all classes of latency-reversing agents (LRAs) have been reported to present variable ex vivo potencies. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the potency variability of one LRA: the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (5-AzadC). Methods: We employed epigenetic interrogation methods (electrophoretic mobility shift assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation, Infinium array) in complementary HIV-1 infection models (latently-infected T-cell line models, primary CD4+ T-cell models and ex vivo cultures of PBMCs from HIV+ individuals). Extracellular staining of cell surface receptors and intracellular metabolic activity were measured in drug-treated cells. HIV-1 expression in reactivation studies was explored by combining the measures of capsid p24Gag protein, green fluorescence protein signal, intracellular and extracellular viral RNA and viral DNA. Findings: We uncovered specific demethylation CpG signatures induced by 5-AzadC in the HIV-1 promoter. By analyzing the binding modalities to these CpG, we revealed the recruitment of the epigenetic integrator Ubiquitin-like with PHD and RING finger domain 1 (UHRF1) to the HIV-1 promoter. We showed that UHRF1 redundantly binds to the HIV-1 promoter with different binding modalities where DNA methylation was either non-essential, essential or enhancing UHRF1 binding. We further demonstrated the role of UHRF1 in the epigenetic repression of the latent viral promoter by a concerted control of DNA and histone methylations. Interpretation: A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 latency allows for the development of innovative antiviral strategies. As a proof-of-concept, we showed that pharmacological inhibition of UHRF1 in ex vivo HIV+ patient cell cultures resulted in potent viral reactivation from latency. ...

    Abstract Summary: Highly efficient CD8+ T cells are associated with natural HIV control, but it has remained unclear how these cells are generated and maintained. We have used a macaque model of spontaneous SIVmac251 control to monitor the development of efficient CD8+ T cell responses. Our results show that SIV-specific CD8+ T cells emerge during primary infection in all animals. The ability of CD8+ T cells to suppress SIV is suboptimal in the acute phase but increases progressively in controller macaques before the establishment of sustained low-level viremia. Controller macaques develop optimal memory-like SIV-specific CD8+ T cells early after infection. In contrast, a persistently skewed differentiation phenotype characterizes memory SIV-specific CD8+ T cells in non-controller macaques. Accordingly, the phenotype of SIV-specific CD8+ T cells defined early after infection appears to favor the development of protective immunity in controllers, whereas SIV-specific CD8+ T cells in non-controllers fail to gain antiviral potency, feasibly as a consequence of early defects imprinted in the memory pool.

    Abstract HIV-infected cells in semen facilitate viral transmission. We studied the establishment of HIV reservoirs in semen and blood during PHI, along with systemic immune activation and the impact of early cART.Patients in the ANRS-147-OPTIPRIM trial received two years of early cART. Nineteen patients of the trial were analyzed, out of which 8 had acute PHI (WB ≤1 Ab). We quantified total cell-associated (ca) HIV-DNA in blood and semen and HIV-RNA in blood and semen plasma samples, collected during PHI and at 24 months of treatment.At enrollment, HIV-RNA load was higher in blood than in semen (median 5.66 vs 4.22 log10 cp/mL, p<0.0001). Semen HIV-RNA load correlated strongly with blood HIV-RNA load (r = 0.81, p = 0.02, the CD4 cell count (r = -0.98, p<0.0001), and the CD4/CD8 ratio (r = -0.85, p<0.01) in acute infection but not in later stages of PHI. Median blood and seminal cellular HIV-DNA levels were 3.59 and 0.31 log10cp/106 cells, respectively. HIV-DNA load peaked in semen later than in blood and then correlated with blood IP10 level (r = 0.62, p = 0.04). HIV-RNA was undetectable in blood and semen after two years of effective cART. Semen HIV-DNA load declined similarly, except in one patient who had persistently high IP-10 and IL-6 levels and used recreational drugs.HIV reservoir cells are found in semen during PHI, with gradual compartmentalization. Its size was linked to the plasma IP-10 level. Early treatment purges both the virus and infected cells, reducing the high risk of transmission during PHI.NCT01033760.
