Title: Effective Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Targeting of Persistent HIV-1 during Antiretroviral Therapy Requires Priming of Naive CD8+ T Cells

Abstract

Curing HIV-1 infection will require elimination of persistent cellular reservoirs that harbor latent virus in the face of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Proposed immunotherapeutic strategies to cure HIV-1 infection include enhancing lysis of these infected cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). A major challenge in this strategy is overcoming viral immune escape variants that have evaded host immune control. Here we report that naive CD8+ T cells from chronic HIV-1-infected participants on long-term cART can be primed by dendritic cells (DC). These DC must be mature, produce high levels of interleukin 12p70 (IL-12p70), be responsive to CD40 ligand (CD40L), and be loaded with inactivated, autologous HIV-1. These DC-primed CD8+ T cell responders produced high levels of gamma interferon (IFN-γ) in response to a broad range of both conserved and variable regions of Gag and effectively killed CD4+ T cell targets that were either infected with the autologous latent reservoir-associated virus or loaded with autologous Gag peptides. In contrast, HIV-1-specific memory CD8+ T cells stimulated with autologous HIV-1-loaded DC produced IFN-γ in response to a narrow range of conserved and variable Gag peptides compared to the primed T cells and most notably, displayed significantly lower cytolytic function. Our findings highlight themore » need to selectively induce new HIV-1-specific CTL from naive precursors while avoiding activation of existing, dysfunctional memory T cells in potential curative immunotherapeutic strategies for HIV-1 infection.« less

FIG 1 FIG 1: Phenotypic and functional characterization of differentially matured DC. Immature DC were stimulated for 48 h with a cytokine cocktail, CD40L alone, or a combination of CD40L and IFN-$γ$ . (A) Maturation status was confirmed by flow cytometric staining for the T cell costimulatory molecules CD86, CD83, and CD40,more » the Th2-promoting molecule OX40L, and the lymphoid homing receptor CCR7. (B) Mature DC were evaluated for their polarization status by measuring IL-12p70 content in supernatants following secondary stimulation with (re-stimulated) or without (resting) CD40L. Values that are significantly different (P < 0.0001) are indicated by a bar and four asterisks.« less
