IntroductionAn effective prophylactic vaccine against HIV will need to elicit antibody responses capable of recognizing and neutralizing rapidly evolving antigenic regions. The immunologic milieu associated with development of neutralizing antibody breadth remains to be fully defined. In this study, we sought to identify immunological signatures associated with neutralization breadth in HIV controllers. We applied an immune monitoring approach to analyze markers of T cell and myeloid cell activation by flow cytometry, comparing broad neutralizers with low- and non-neutralizers using multivariate and univariate analyses.MethodsAntibody neutralization breadth was determined, and cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained for T cell and myeloid cell activation markers. Subjects were grouped according to neutralization breadth, and T cell and myeloid cell activation was analyzed by partial least squares discriminant analysis to determine immune signatures associated with high neutralization breadth.ResultsWe show that neutralization breadth in HIV viraemic controllers (VC) was strongly associated with increased frequencies of CD8+CD57+ T cells and that this association was independent of viral load, CD4 count and time since HIV diagnosis.ConclusionsOur data show elevated frequencies of CD8+CD57+ T cells in VC who develop neutralization breadth against HIV. This immune signature could serve as a potential biomarker of neutralization breadth and should be further investigated in other HIV-positive cohorts and in HIV vaccine trials.

“…We recently reported a high incidence of subclinical endotoxemia in a cohort of HIV negative men (20). Endotoxin levels detected in this particular cohort were comparable to those observed in HIV-positive individuals (Supplemental Figure S1), making this study population ideal for modeling in vivo effects of subclinical endotoxemia on immune cell function in the absence of HIV infection and associated viral effects.…”

“…We previously reported on a cohort of HIV negative men with subclinical endotoxemia that correlated with decreased CD4/CD8 T cell ratio, elevated plasma cytokine levels and markers of T cell exhaustion (20). Using this HIV negative population as an in vivo model of subclinical endotoxemia in the absence of confounding HIV infection and associated viral effects, we assessed the effects of subclinical endotoxemia on cellular immune functions ex vivo .…”

Multiple studies have shown correlates of immune activation with microbial translocation and plasma LPS during HIV infection. It is unclear whether this activation is due to LPS, residual viral replication, or both. Few studies have addressed the effects of persistent in vivo levels of LPS on specific immune functions in humans in the absence of chronic viral infection or pathological settings such as sepsis. We previously reported on a cohort of HIV negative men with subclinical endotoxemia linked to alterations in CD4/CD8 T cell ratio and plasma cytokine levels. This HIV negative cohort allowed us to assess cellular immune functions in the context of different subclinical plasma LPS levels ex vivo without confounding viral effects. By comparing 2 samples of differing plasma LPS levels from each individual, we now show that subclinical levels of plasma LPS in vivo significantly alter T cell proliferative capacity, monocyte cytokine release and HLA-DR expression, and induce TLR cross-tolerance by decreased phosphorylation of MAPK pathway components. Using this human in vivo model of subclinical endotoxemia, we furthermore show that plasma LPS leads to constitutive activation of STAT1 through autocrine cytokine signaling, suggesting that subclinical endotoxemia in healthy individuals might lead to significant changes in immune function that have thus far not been appreciated.

“…Compared to people living with HIV (PLHIV), similar or lower levels of IA were reported in HESN [14] [15] [16] [17]. Compared to HIV-neg Controls, some studies reported higher levels of IA in HESN [11] [16] [18] [19] while others reported lower levels [20]- [25], To gain further insight into IA in serodiscordant couples, we aimed to compare the levels (using beta 2 microglobulin (β 2 m) as a soluble marker of IA) between HESN, their HIV+ counterparts and HIV-neg Controls; then analyze the association of IA levels and sexual exposure to HIV (SEHIV).…”
