Key Points IL-7 does not disrupt viral latency in highly pure resting latently infected CD4+ T cells from HIV-infected subjects receiving ART. IL-7 therapy leads to a 70% increase in the absolute number of circulating CD4+ T cells harboring integrated HIV DNA 4 weeks posttherapy.

AbstractThe HIV reservoir is a population of 1-10 million anatomically dispersed, latently infected memory CD4+ T cells in which an HIV DNA molecule is quiescently integrated into human chromosomal DNA. When antiretroviral therapy (ART) is stopped and HIV replication initiates in one of these cells, systemic viral spread resumes, rekindling progression to AIDS. Therefore, HIV latency prevents cure. The HIV reservoir contains clones: identical HIV sequences that are integrated within identical human chromosomal DNA locations. The presence of these clones demonstrates that proliferation of CD4+ T cells sustains infection despite ART. The reservoir has a precise structure consisting of a small number of large clones and a large number of small clones. However, the mechanisms leading to this structure have not been identified. We developed a mathematical model that recapitulates the profound depletion and brisk recovery of CD4+ T cells, reservoir creation, and viral load trajectory during primary HIV infection. We extended the model to simulate stochastically individual HIV reservoir clones and identified that uneven proliferation among clones during recovery from CD4+ lymphopaenia is sufficient to explain the observed clonal reservoir distribution. We project that within one month of infection 75-95% of reservoir cells are generated from cellular proliferation rather than denovo viral infection. Recent detection of HIV infected clones during the first 5 weeks of infection support our model’s predictions.

Abstract Background Identifying where human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) persists in people living with HIV and receiving antiretroviral therapy is critical to develop cure strategies. We assessed the relationship of HIV persistence to expression of chemokine receptors and their chemokines in blood (n = 48) and in rectal (n = 20) and lymph node (LN; n = 8) tissue collected from people living with HIV who were receiving suppressive antiretroviral therapy. Methods Cell-associated integrated HIV DNA, unspliced HIV RNA, and chemokine messenger RNA were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Chemokine receptor expression on CD4+ T cells was determined using flow cytometry. Results Integrated HIV DNA levels in CD4+ T cells, CCR6+CXCR3+ memory CD4+ T-cell frequency, and CCL20 expression (ligand for CCR6) were highest in rectal tissue, where HIV-infected CCR6+ T cells accounted for nearly all infected cells (median, 89.7%). Conversely in LN tissue, CCR6+ T cells were infrequent, and there was a statistically significant association of cell-associated HIV DNA and RNA with CCL19, CCL21, and CXCL13 chemokines. Conclusions HIV-infected CCR6+ CD4+ T cells accounted for the majority of infected cells in rectal tissue. The different relationships between HIV persistence and T-cell subsets and chemokines in rectal and LN tissue suggest that different tissue-specific strategies may be required to eliminate HIV persistence and that assessment of biomarkers for HIV persistence may not be generalizable between blood and other tissues.
