SOLiD RNA sequences from HIV-1 infected cells
Method: Solid deep sequencing in HIV-infected T cells T-lymphocytes infected with HIV-1 versus uninfected cells Isolate small RNAs SOLiD sequencing: small RNA reads (~35nt), maximum output of
reads (~50 Gb)
Results:16.127.962 raw sequences 5.210.754 small RNAs identified

- HIV-1 encodes vsiRNAs that suppress virus production- New mechanism for proviral latency: integration next to strong promoter
integration is a chance process!- Resting cell produces set of miRNAs that suppress HIV-1 (Huang et al, 2007)- Permanent latency?

Diverse HIV activation methods for resting/memory T cells (TCR, NFAT) fail to induce latent HIV-1 in activated/effector T cells
but
co-culture with dendritic cells (iDC) can!
iDC are able to induce HIV-1 in primary T cells

Increase in number of CA-p24+ cells, but - also a bit more HIV expression per cell- also more virus produced in supernatant
DC-mediated HIV-1 induction in T cells at the level of gene expression:- T1249 > no transmission/infection effects of DC- Raltegravir >- DC only after 9 days > no early (RT/integration) effects

Same contact important for DC-mediated HIV transmission to T cells
HIV-1 activation from latency – primary T cells – dendritic cells
Signal 1

Signal 2
?
Natural activation mechanism: 1. T-DC synapse2. ?
Early HIV infection (transmission)
DC have well-known role in HIV-1 transmission:Ferry the virus to T cells
New evidence: DC trigger productive T cell infectionat the level of HIV-1 gene expression (CA-p24+)
Anti-latency effect of DC: first T cell infections unlikely to become latent !
Late HIV infection
Latently infected T cells can be activated by circulating DC
Future therapeutics
Identification of the activating molecule to purge reservoirs!
