Mechanism for the establishment of transcriptional HIV latency in the brain in a simian immunodeficiency virus-macaque model

Abstract

The brain is considered to be a reservoir of latent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). We examined the mechanism by which innate immune responses contribute to the establishment of this reservoir. Gene-specific RNA and DNA were quantitated using real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Protein expression was examined using Western blot analysis. Binding to and regulation of the SIV long terminal repeat (LTR) was examined using electrophoretic mobility shift assay, luciferase reporter constructs, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) and myxovirus A (MxA) mRNA are produced in the brain during acute SIV infection. IFN-beta both suppresses SIV LTR activity and induces expression of the dominant-negative isoform of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-beta (C/EBP-beta). C/EBP-beta and its dominant-negative isoform respectively enhance and suppress histone acetylation at the SIV LTR and are present at the SIV LTR in vivo. SIV DNA persists when viral RNA is undetectable in the brain, and activation of the LTR is suppressed at the level of histone acetylation. Innate immune responses to virus infection that suppress acute virus replication in t...Continue Reading
