Differential Control of BST2 Restriction and Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Antiviral Response by Antagonists Encoded by HIV-1 Group M and O Strains. J Virol 2016; 90:10236-10246.

Abstract
BST2/tetherin is a type I interferon (IFN-I)-stimulated host factor that restricts the release of HIV-1 by entrapping budding virions at the cell surface. This membrane-associated protein can also engage and activate the plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC)-specific immunoglobulin-like transcript 7 (ILT7) inhibitory receptor to downregulate the IFN-I response by pDCs. Pandemic HIV-1 group M uses Vpu (M-Vpu) to counteract the two BST2 isoforms (long and short) that are expressed in human cells. M-Vpu efficiently downregulates surface long BST2, while it displaces short BST2 molecules away from viral assembly sites. We recently found that this attribute is used by M-Vpu to activate the BST2/ILT7-dependent negative-feedback pathway and to suppress pDC IFN-I responses during sensing of infected cells. However, whether this property is conserved in endemic HIV-1 group O, which has evolved Nef (O-Nef) to counteract specifically the long BST2 isoform, remains unknown. In the present study, we validated that O-Nefs have the capacity to downregulate surface BST2 and enhance HIV-1 particle release although less efficiently than M-Vpu. In contrast to M-Vpu, O-Nef did not efficiently enhance viral spread in T cell culture or displace short BST2 from viral assembly sites to prevent its occlusion by tethered HIV-1 particles. Consequently, O-Nef impairs the ability of BST2 to activate negative ILT7 signaling to suppress the IFN-I response by pDC-containing peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) during sensing of infected cells. These distinctive features of BST2 counteraction by O-Nefs may in part explain the limited spread of HIV-1 group O in the human population. IMPORTANCE The geographical distributions and prevalences of different HIV-1 groups show large variations. Understanding drivers of distinctive viral spread may aid in the development of therapeutic strategies for controlling the spread of HIV-1 pandemic strains. The differential spread of HIV-1 groups appears to be linked to their capacities to antagonize the long and short isoforms of the BST2 restriction factor. We found that the endemic HIV-1 group O-encoded BST2 antagonist Nef is unable to counteract the restriction mediated by short BST2, a condition that impairs its ability to activate ILT7 and suppress pDC antiviral responses. This is in contrast to the pandemic HIV-1 group M-specified BST2 countermeasure Vpu, which displays a diverse array of mechanisms to counteract short and long BST2 isoforms, an attribute that allows the effective control of pDC antiviral responses. These findings may help explain the limited spread of HIV-1 group O as well as the continued predominance of HIV-1 group M throughout the world.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M viruses have achieved a global distribution, while HIV-1 group O viruses are endemic only in particular regions of Africa. Here, we evaluated biological characteristics of group O and group M viruses in ex vivo models of HIV-1 infection. The replicative capacity and ability to induce CD4 T-cell depletion of eight group O and seven group M primary isolates were monitored in cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tonsil explants. Comparative and longitudinal infection studies revealed HIV-1 group-specific activity patterns: CCR5-using (R5) viruses from group M varied considerably in their replicative capacity but showed similar levels of cytopathicity. In contrast, R5 isolates from group O were relatively uniform in their replicative fitness but displayed a high and unprecedented variability in their potential to deplete CD4 T cells. Two R5 group O isolates were identified that cause massive depletion of CD4 T cells, to an extent comparable to CXCR4-using viruses and not documented for any R5 isolate from group M. Intergroup comparisons found a five- to eightfold lower replicative fitness of isolates from group O than for isolates from group M yet a similar overall intrinsic pathogenicity in tonsil cultures. This study establishes biological ex vivo characteristics of HIV-1 group O primary isolates. The current findings challenge the belief that a grossly reduced replicative fitness or inherently impaired cytopathicity of viruses from this group underlies their low global prevalence.

Abstract
We assess the genetic relationships between 49 HIV-1 group O strains from 24 and 25 patients living in Cameroon and France, respectively. Strains were sequenced in four genomic regions: gag (p24) and three env regions (C2-V3, gp41, and for 22 C2-gp41). In each of the genomic regions analyzed, the genetic diversity among the group O strains was higher than that exhibited by group M. We characterize three major group O phylogenetic clusters (O:A, O:B, and O:C) that comprised the same virus strains in each of the genomic regions analyzed. The majority of strains cluster in O:A, a cluster previously identified by analysis of pol and env sequences. Group O recombinants were also identified. Importantly, the distinction between these three major group O clades was weak compared to the strong clustering apparent in the global group M phylogenetic tree that led to the identification of subtypes. Thus, these clusters of group O viruses should not be considered as equivalent to the group M subtypes. This difference between the pattern of group O and the global group M diversity, both taking into account the pandemic status of the group M subtypes and the comparatively small number of group O-infected individuals (the majority being from Cameroon), indicates that the group O phylogeny primarily represents viral divergence in the Cameroon region, analogous to group M viral diversity present in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Abstract
Plasma human immunodeficiency virus RNA in 491 clinical specimens was measured by LCx. There was a strong correlation with the results provided by other methods (r(2) values of 0.93 with Cobas-Monitor version 1.5 and of 0.95 with Quantiplex version 3.0). However, values were uniformly higher with LCx than with Quantiplex when non-B subtypes were tested.

Abstract
HIV-1 group O strains have a level of genetic diversity similar to that of strains in group M; however, group O has not been readily classified into genetic subtypes. Phylogenetic classification of group O has been hindered by the limited sequence information available. To facilitate phylogenetic analysis, we sequenced the gag p24 (693 nt), pol p32 (864 nt), and env gp160 (approximately 2700 nt) genes from 39 group O-infected specimens. These specimens include 32 plasma samples collected in Cameroon between 1996 and 1999, 2 specimens collected in the United States, and 5 infections previously isolated in Equatorial Guinea. Phylogenetic analysis of HIV-1 group O sequences resulted in the identification of five clusters that are maintained across gag, pol, and env, generally supported by high bootstrap values, and approximately equidistant from each other. In addition to the group O clusters, several isolates branch independently and are equidistant from the other group O isolates. Cluster I comprises greater than 50% of the group O isolates and is a diverse set of isolates that is subdivided into subclusters. The average intra-, sub-, and intercluster distances for group O are similar to the corresponding distances for group M subtypes. The five group O clusters have characteristics similar to those of group M subtypes. Thus the data presented may form the basis for classification of group O into subtypes. However, full-length genomes representing each group O cluster will be required to formalize a group O subtype classification.

Abstract
A relatively low and stable seroprevalence of HIV-1 was previously reported among pregnant women attending for antenatal care between 1988 and 1993 in Kimpese, a rural town in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire). To characterize the HIV-1 subtypes circulating in this area, we have examined a 330-bp fragment of the p17 region of the gag gene of HIV-1 strains obtained from 70 patients (55 mothers, 15 children), of whom 61 were epidemiologically unlinked. Phylogenetic analyses revealed the existence of at least seven HIV-1 subtypes within the Kimpese region. Among the 61 epidemiologically unlinked patients, subtype A was predominant and found in 29 (47.5%) individuals. Other subtypes cocirculating in this rural part of DRC include subtypes C (1.6%), D (9.8%), F (3.2%), G (6.5%), H (21.3%), and J (4.9%). Sequences from four patients did not cluster with any of the currently documented HIV-1 subtypes, in analyses of fragments of both the gag (247 to 330 bp, 197 bp, and 310 bp) and env (340 bp) genes. Overall, comparisons of the gag(p17) gene regions revealed high pairwise divergences (mean, 19.9%; range, 1 to 46%). This level of gag(p17) gene variation in the DRC is considerably greater than previously appreciated. These results are relevant for the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in Africa and for the design of a future vaccine against HIV-1 in this region.

Abstract
A rapid immunodiagnostic test that detects and discriminates human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections on the basis of viral type, HIV type 1 (HIV-1) group M, HIV-1 group O, or HIV-2, was developed. The rapid assay for the detection of HIV (HIV rapid assay) was designed as an instrument-free chromatographic immunoassay that detects immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to HIV. To assess the performance of the HIV rapid assay, 470 HIV-positive plasma samples were tested by PCR and/or Western blotting to confirm the genotype of the infecting virus. These samples were infected with strains that represented a wide variety of HIV strains including HIV-1 group M (subtypes A through G), HIV-1 group O, and HIV-2 (subtypes A and B). The results showed that the HIV genotype identity established by the rapid assay reliably (469 of 470 samples) correlates with the HIV genotype identity established by PCR or Western blotting. A total of 879 plasma samples were tested for IgG to HIV by a licensed enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (470 HIV-positive samples and 409 HIV-negative samples). When they were tested by the rapid assay, 469 samples were positive and 410 were negative (99.88% agreement). Twelve seroconversion panels were tested by both the rapid assay and a licensed EIA. For nine panels identical results were obtained by the two assays. For the remaining three panels, the rapid assay was positive one bleed later in comparison to the bleed at which the EIA was positive. One hundred three urine samples, including 93 urine samples from HIV-seropositive individuals and 10 urine samples from seronegative individuals, were tested by the rapid assay. Ninety-one of the ninety-three urine samples from HIV-seropositive individuals were found to be positive by the rapid assay. There were no false-positive results (98.05% agreement). Virus in all urine samples tested were typed as HIV-1 group M. These results suggest that a rapid assay based on the detection of IgG specific for selected transmembrane HIV antigens provides a simple and reliable test that is capable of distinguishing HIV infections on the basis of viral type.

Abstract
Nucleotide sequences of the reverse transcriptase (RT) coding region have been compared in four new human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group O isolates. Phylogenetic analysis of this pol region highlights a cluster of these four HIV-1 group O sequences with seven other group O isolates (5% intracluster nucleotide sequence diversity) similar to clusters classified as subtypes in HIV-1 group M (an average of 4.9% intrasubtype sequence diversity). Based on these analyses, this group O cluster has been designated subtype A-O. A longitudinal study of a heterosexual couple infected with group O (ESP1 and ESP2) allowed a detailed analysis of RT sequences (amino acids 28 to 219). Directed evolution and a slightly higher mutation frequency was observed in the RT sequences of patient ESP2, treated with antiretroviral drugs, than that from the untreated patient ESP1. Antiretroviral treatment also selected for specific substitutions, M184V and T215Y in the RT coding region, conferring resistance to 3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine and zidovudine, respectively. A Gly98 to Glu RT substitution identified in the treated patient suggests a possible reversion of a nonnucleoside RT inhibitor-resistant phenotype. Using RT clones from this longitudinal study, both heteroduplex tracking assay and cloning-sequencing techniques were employed for an extensive genetic analysis of pol gene quasispecies. Amino acid substitutions (i.e., Phe-77 to Leu, Lys-101 to Glu, and Val-106 to Iso) associated with antiretroviral resistance were identified in RT clones from HIV-1 group O-infected patients not subjected to drug therapy or treated with unrelated drugs. Finally, phylogenetic relationships between RT clones of the treated ESP2 patient and those of the untreated ESP1 patient show how drug pressure can direct evolution of viral pol gene quasispecies independently of direct drug-resistant substitutions.

Abstract
HIV-1 has been subdivided into two groups, M and O, based on phylogenetic analysis. To better understand the pathogenesis of group O viruses, we studied biologic and genetic characteristics of two primary isolates from Spain, ES1158.1 and ES1159.1, and one from the United States, MD.1. After viral isolation, we studied the replication kinetics in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and macrophages, as well as in different cell lines. All three isolates could replicate in both PBMCs and macrophages. Because no syncytium formation was detected in the MT-2 cell line, viruses were classified as non-syncytium inducing (NSI). All three isolates used the CCR5 coreceptor for entry into the human osteosarcoma (HOS) CD4 cells. Phylogenetic analysis of V3 loop sequences showed that ES1158.1 and ES1159.1 isolates were closely related to the ANT70 strain, whereas MD.1 isolate clustered with the MVP-5180 strain in the same branch. Interestingly, all viruses appeared to be more closely related to the MVP-5180 strain when the protease gene was analyzed, although accessible sequences of this region are very limited.

Abstract
Failure to recognize infection caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group 0 variants has been described using both serological and genetic techniques. Moreover, the monitoring of response to antiretroviral therapy is difficult in persons carrying this infection since most currently available tests for quantifying viral load are not reliable for group 0 viruses. Considering the low level of divergence between the p24 proteins of group M and 0 viruses, we have examined whether the quantification of circulating p24 antigenaemia might be used as a surrogate marker of response to therapy in three subjects with HIV-1 group 0 infection treated with antiretroviral drugs. In summary, all three patients showed a significant decline in circulating plasma p24 antigenaemia, although only one achieved undetectable levels. The decline in p24 antigenaemia was parallel to an increase in the CD4 count and was associated with an improvement in clinical status.

Abstract
The catalytic properties and sensitivity to different inhibitors have been determined for the reverse transcriptase (RT) of group O human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The RT-coding region was cloned from a new HIV-1 group O isolate from Spain, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified by affinity chromatography. This new RT showed 79% amino acid sequence identity with the corresponding enzyme of group M subtype B strain BH10. The two enzymes showed very similar kinetics of RNA-dependent DNA polymerization using homopolymeric template-primers and RNase H specific activity. Inhibitor sensitivity to ddTTP and 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine triphosphate (AZTTP) was also similar for both enzymes. However, the two enzymes differed dramatically in their sensitivity to several inhibitors. While the RT of the BH10 isolate was sensitive to nevirapine and loviride (IC50 ranged from 0.16 to 8.2 microM, depending on the substrates used), the enzyme of the Spanish HIV-1 group O isolate showed high-level resistance to those compounds (IC50 > 200 microM). The amino acid sequence of the RT of group O HIV-1 contains three amino acids (Cys-181, Glu-179, and Gly-98), which are found in group M subtype B strains resistant to nonnucleoside RT inhibitors. The recombinant group O HIV-1 RT should be useful for studies aimed at discovering and designing drugs directed toward group O isolates of HIV-1.
