Early ART reduces viral seeding and innate immunity in liver and lungs of SIV-infected macaques

Julien A. Clain,

et al.

Abstract: Identifying immune cells and anatomical tissues that contribute to the establishment of viral reservoirs is of central importance in HIV-1 cure research. Herein, we used rhesus macaques (RMs) infected with SIVmac251 to analyze viral seeding in the liver and lungs of either untreated or early antiretroviral therapy–treated (ART-treated) RMs. Consistent with viral replication and sensing, transcriptomic analyses showed higher levels of inflammation, pyroptosis, and chemokine genes as well as of interferon-stimul… Show more

“…We also noticed that hepatic CD4 + T cells also overexpressed CX3CR1 and CXCR3 transcripts, suggesting the recruitment of this population in inflamed tissues ( 42 , 43 ) and consistent with higher levels of CXCL10 transcripts (the ligand of CXCR3) observed in the liver of SIV-infected RMs ( 96 ). Interestingly, CXCL10 was reported to be associated with liver fibrosis in individuals co-infected with HIV and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) ( 97 ).…”

“…In addition to macrophage permissiveness to HIV-1 infection in vivo and in vitro, studies in ART-treated PLWH provided evidence that macrophages isolated from liver 33 brain 34,35 , broncho alveolar lavage [36][37][38] , duodenum 39 , testis 40 , and most recently urethra 41 carry HIV-1. Similarly, studies performed in humanized mice models, especially in myeloid only models 42,43 , as well as SIV infection model [44][45][46] pointed to macrophages as important sites of viral infection/persistence. Finally, by their intrinsic resistance to apoptosis and CD8 + T-cell-and NK cell-mediated killing [47][48][49] , HIV-infected macrophages escape from immunological pressure.…”
