چکیده

The persistence of a reservoir of latently infected cd4 t cells remains one of the major obstacles to cure hiv. numerous strategies are being explored to eliminate this reservoir. to translate these efforts into clinical trials,there is a strong need for validated biomarkers that can monitor the reservoir over time in vivo. a comprehensive study was designed to evaluate and compare potential hiv-1 reservoir biomarkers. a cohort of 25 patients,treated with suppressive antiretroviral therapy was sampled at three time points,with median of 2.5 years (iqr: 2.4–2.6) between time point 1 and 2; and median of 31 days (iqr: 28–36) between time point 2 and 3. patients were median of 6 years (iqr: 3–12) on art,and plasma viral load (<50 copies/ml) was suppressed for median of 4 years (iqr: 2–8). total hiv-1 dna,unspliced (us) and multiply spliced hiv-1 rna,and 2ltr circles were quantified by digital pcr in peripheral blood,at 3 time points. at the second time point,a viral outgrowth assay (voa) was performed,and integrated hiv-1 dna and relative mrna expression levels of hiv-1 restriction factors were quantified. no significant change was found for long- and short-term dynamics of all hiv-1 markers tested in peripheral blood. integrated hiv-1 dna was associated with total hiv-1 dna (p<0.001,r² = 0.85),us hiv-1 rna (p = 0.029,r² = 0.40),and voa (p = 0.041,r2 = 0.44). replication-competent virus was detected in 80% of patients by the voa and it correlated with total hiv-1 dna (p = 0.039,r² = 0.54). the mean quantification difference between alu-pcr and voa was 2.88 log10,and 2.23 log10 between total hiv-1 dna and voa. the levels of ushiv-1 rna were inversely correlated with mrna levels of several hiv-1 restriction factors (trim5α,samhd1,mx2,slfn11,psip1). our study reveals important correlations between the viral outgrowth and total and integrated hiv-1 dna measures,suggesting that the total pool of hiv-1 dna may predict the size of the replication-competent virus in art suppressed patients. © 2016 kiselinova et al.
