Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for screening HIV-l latency reversing agents (LRA).
- LRA HIV-l latency reversing agents
- HIV infection is one of the major threats to global human health. It is estimated that more than 78 million people worldwide have been infected by the human immunodeficiency virus since 1981. Nearly half of these infected individuals have died of the resultant Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) during the same time frame. See UNAIDS, htp://www.unaids.ofg/, November 2017.
- AIDS Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
- ART antiretroviral therapy
- HDACi histone deacetylases inhibitors
- PLCm protein kinase C
- cytotoxic T-lymphocytes have been put forward as candidates to elicit this function due to their in vitro activity in eliminating reactivated cells and their key role in the control of the reservoir in natural HIV-l elite controllers. See Shan L, et al, Immunity 2012; 36(3):49l-50l, Descours B, et al, Clin Infect Dis 20l2;54(l0): 1495-503 and Noel N, et al, J Virol 2016; 90(13):6148-6158. Nonetheless, the direct effect of HDACi and PKCm in CTL activity should be taken into account to identify the therapeutic window of activity between latency-reversing agents and CTL clearance of reactivated cells.
- the present invention is directed to a method for screening HIV-l latency reversing agents (LRA).
- the method comprises the steps of (a) culturing in vitro a fraction of CD4+ T cells obtained from an HIV-infected subject with at least one latency reversing agent (LRA) for at least 48 hours, (b) co-culturing in vitro the fraction of CD4+ T cells with cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) obtained from the HIV-infected subject and (c) counting the killed CD4+ T cells in the fraction.
- Said screening could be useful in the treatment and prevention of HIV-l infection and AIDS, such as by assisting in the optimization of ART and HAART protocols for HIV-infected subjects.

- Fig. 1 Representation of the shock and kill RELI model. Briefly, the HIV-l permissive U937 cell line, transfected with the HLA-B* 27:05 gene, was infected for three days with a NL43 strain carrying a reporter GFP gene. The GFP negative population was then sorted and cultured in the presence of the protease inhibitor RTV to prevent viral spread and favor the establishment of an enriched latently infected state. RELI cells were reactivated with LRA in the presence of the integrase inhibitor RAL before being extensively washed and cultured in the presence or absence of HLA-class I matched HIV-specific CTL and RAL. 20 hours after coculture, cells were stained and analyzed by flow cytometry to evaluate HIV- 1 reactivation (shock) and CTL-mediated elimination of HIV-reactivated RELI cells (kill).

- the cells were counted using microbeads.
- a 10-20% range of GFP-expressing cells was employed to ensure that, after sorting the positive fraction, an appropriate level of proviral DNA was present for monitoring HIV-l reactivation in the resting-like GFP negative fraction.
- the cells were centrifuged and re-suspended in R20 to a final concentration of 5-7 M/mL in a 15 mL tube. The cells were then placed on ice until sorting.
- the GFP negative fraction was sorted using a BD FACS Aria II Cell Sorter (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) or a similar device.
- the cells were cultured in a T25 flask to a final concentration of 0.8 M/mL in R10+ geneticin 0.5 mg/mL medium in the presence of 1 mM of ritonavir (RTV, Cat. No. A2169, Sigma-Aldrich Corp., Saint Louis, MO, USA). The cells were cultured during 4 days and were monitored for cell growth. Fresh media + RTV were added if the culture turned yellow.
- RTV ritonavir
- the cell culture was enriched in HIV-l latently infected cells (or Resting-Like“RELI” cells). Under these experimental conditions, the RELI cells had 0.6-0.9 copies of HIV-l proviral DNA per million cells.
- RELI cells were counted and added to round-bottom 96-well plates until a final concentration of lM/mL in R10 + raltegravir (RLT 100 nM, Cat. No. CDS023737, Sigma-Aldrich Corp., Saint Louis, MO, USA) medium per well was attained.
- Latency reactivating agents were added for 48 hours to the RELI cells to assess viral reactivation. See Table 1. LRAs were also added to uninfected cells to assess cellular toxicity. All LRA-treated cells were assessed in both co-culture and non-co-culture conditions in duplicates.
- the HIV-l reactivation "SHOCK" was analyzed by the percentage of intracellular viral protein p24 from non-dead RELI cells.
- CTLs were counted and their viability was checked.
- the CTLs were seeded at a final concentration of 2 M/mL in 24-well plates with a RPMI 1640 medium containing 50% of human AB serum (Cat. No. H3667, Sigma-Aldrich Corp., Saint Louis, MO, USA).
- the CTLs were cultured overnight in order to reduce cytokine background production.
- the RELI cells were washed at least twice with PBS IX for 5 minutes at 800 rpm. Afterwards, the cells were re-suspended in a LRA- free R10 + RLT (100 nM) medium. RMD-treated cells were washed 5 hours post- reactivation.
- the RELI cells/CTL co-culture was set up in round-bottom 96-well plates. CTLs were counted and re-suspended in RPMI with 10% of human AB serum (Cat. No. H3667, Sigma-Aldrich Corp., Saint Louis, MO, USA) to a final concentration of 1 M/mL. A CDl07a-PE-Cy5 antibody (clone H4A3, Cat. No. 555802, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) was added to the CTL culture. The CTLs were then mixed with the reactivated RELI cells in a 1 : 1 ratio (100,000 RELI cells: 100,000 CTLs). The CTLs and RELI cells were co cultured for 20 hours.
- the cells were incubated at 37°C for 3 hours in the presence of brefeldin A at 2.5 pL/mL (Golgiplug solution, Cat. No. 555029, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and monensin at 1.6 pL/mL (GolgiStop solution, Cat. No. 554724, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) diluted in PBS IX (50 pL/well).
- brefeldin A 2.5 pL/mL
- monensin at 1.6 pL/mL
- PBS IX 50 pL/well
- the culture supernatant was removed.
- the culture supernatant was removed.
- CD8-V450 antibody pacific blue, clone RPA-T8, Cat. No. 558207, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA
- PBS IX PBS IX
- the cells were washed twice with 200 pL PBS IX at 800 g for 3 minutes. The culture supernatant was removed. Alternatively, the cells can be stored overnight in the Fixation Medium at 4°C. 11)
- the following antibodies (i) p24-HIV (clone KC57- RD1, Cat. No. 6604667, Beckman Coulter, Inc., Brea, CA, USA), (ii) MIRIb- FITC (clone 24006, Cat. No. IC271F, R&D Systems, Inc. Minneapolis, MN, USA) and (iii) IFNg-PE-Cy7 (clone 4S.B3, Cat. No.
- the CTL“KILL” was calculated taking into account the reduction of non-dead, CD8 negative, p24 positive cells from co-cultures of RELI cells and CTLs, i.e. 100- [(% p24 in non-dead CD8 negative cells co-cultured with CD8 positive cells / % p24 in non-dead CD8 negative cells in the absence of CD8 positive cells) x 100]
- the CTL activation profile in response to viral reactivation was analyzed by the secretion of CD 107a, MIPlb and IFNg from live, CD8 positive CTLs.
