The human tissue-resident CCR5 + T cell compartment maintains protective and functional properties during inflammation. Sci Transl Med 2020; 11:11/521/eaaw8718.

Abstract
CCR5 is thought to play a central role in orchestrating migration of cells in response to inflammation. CCR5 antagonists can reduce inflammatory disease processes, which has led to an increased interest in using CCR5 antagonists in a wide range of inflammation-driven diseases. Paradoxically, these antagonists appear to function without negatively affecting host immunity at barrier sites. We reasoned that the resolution to this paradox may lie in the CCR5+ T cell populations that permanently reside in tissues. We used a single-cell analysis approach to examine the human CCR5+ T cell compartment in the blood, healthy, and inflamed mucosal tissues to resolve these seemingly contradictory observations. We found that 65% of the CD4 tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell compartment expressed CCR5. These CCR5+ TRM cells were enriched in and near the epithelial layer and not only limited to TH1-type cells but also contained a large TH17-producing and a stable regulatory T cell population. The CCR5+ TRM compartment was stably maintained even in inflamed tissues including the preservation of TH17 and regulatory T cell populations. Further, using tissues from the CHARM-03 clinical trial, we found that CCR5+ TRM are preserved in human mucosal tissue during treatment with the CCR5 antagonist Maraviroc. Our data suggest that the human CCR5+ TRM compartment is functionally and spatially equipped to maintain barrier immunity even in the absence of CCR5-mediated, de novo T cell recruitment from the periphery.

Abstract
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic T-cell-mediated mucocutaneous inflammatory disease that targets stratified epithelia, including those lining the oral cavity. The intraoral variant of LP (OLP) is associated with interferon (IFN)-γ production by infiltrating T lymphocytes; however, the role of epithelial cells in the etiopathogenesis OLP is not completely understood. There is however a growing body of evidence regarding the involvement of epithelial-derived cytokines, immune receptors, and costimulatory molecules in the pathobiological processes that promote and sustain OLP. In the present study, we used a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay to assess whether CD40-a receptor found mainly on antigen presenting cells-and the costimulatory molecule CD86 were expressed in oral keratinocytes (three strains of primary normal oral keratinocytes and the H357 cell line) in the presence or absence of IFN-γ. To further characterize the involvement of CD40 in OLP, expression and distribution of receptor and ligand (CD40/CD154) in tissues from OLP were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The present results are the first to show that both CD40 and CD86 are constitutively expressed at low levels in oral keratinocytes and that their expression was enhanced by IFN-γ stimulation. The intensity of CD40 staining in OLP tissues was strong. Taken together, the results strongly suggest that CD40 and CD86 play a role in the pathophysiology of oral inflammatory diseases such as OLP.

Abstract
Galectin-1, an adhesion molecule, is expressed in macrophages and implicated in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) viral adsorption. In this study, we investigated the effects of methamphetamine on galectin-1 production in human monocyte derived macrophages (MDM) and the role of galectin-1 in methamphetamine potentiation of HIV-1 infection. Herein we show that levels of galectin-1 gene and protein expression are significantly increased by methamphetamine. Furthermore, concomitant incubation of MDM with galectin-1 and methamphetamine facilitates HIV-1 infection compared to galectin-1 alone or methamphetamine alone. We utilized a nanotechnology approach that uses gold nanorod (GNR)-galectin-1 siRNA complexes (nanoplexes) to inhibit gene expression for galectin-1. Nanoplexes significantly silenced gene expression for galectin-1 and reversed the effects of methamphetamine on galectin-1 gene expression. Moreover, the effects of methamphetamine on HIV-1 infection were attenuated in the presence of the nanoplex in MDM.

Abstract
Morphine is a widely abused, addictive drug that modulates immune function. Macrophages are a primary reservoir of HIV-1; therefore, they play a role in the development of this disease, as well as impact the overall course of disease progression. Galectin-1 is a member of a family of β-galactoside-binding lectins that are soluble adhesion molecules and that mediate direct cell-pathogen interactions during HIV-1 viral adhesion. Because the drug abuse epidemic and the HIV-1 epidemic are closely interrelated, we propose that increased expression of galectin-1 induced by morphine may modulate HIV-1 infection of human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs). In this article, we show that galectin-1 gene and protein expression are potentiated by incubation with morphine. Confirming previous studies, morphine alone or galectin-1 alone enhance HIV-1 infection of MDMs. Concomitant incubation with exogenous galectin-1 and morphine potentiated HIV-1 infection of MDMs. We used a nanotechnology approach that uses gold nanorod-galectin-1 small interfering RNA complexes (nanoplexes) to inhibit gene expression for galectin-1. We found that nanoplexes silenced gene expression for galectin-1, and they reversed the effects of morphine on galectin-1 expression. Furthermore, the effects of morphine on HIV-1 infection were reduced in the presence of the nanoplex.

Abstract
We have studied the functional role of protein kinase Cε (PKCε) in the control of human CD4(+) T cell proliferation and in their response to TGF-1β. We demonstrate that PKCε sustains CD4(+) T cell proliferation triggered in vitro by CD3 stimulation. Transient knockdown of PKCε expression decreases IL-2R chain transcription, and consequently cell surface expression levels of CD25. PKCε silencing in CD4 T cells potentiates the inhibitory effects of TGF-1β, whereas in contrast, the forced expression of PKCε virtually abrogates the inhibitory effects of TGF-1β. Being that PKCε is therefore implicated in the response of CD4 T cells to both CD3-mediated proliferative stimuli and TGF-1β antiproliferative signals, we studied it in Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT), a pathology characterized by abnormal lymphocyte proliferation and activation. When we analyzed CD4 T cells from HT patients, we found a significant increase of PKCε expression, accounting for their enhanced survival, proliferation, and decreased sensitivity to TGF-1β. The increased expression of PKCε in CD4(+) T cells of HT patients, which is described for the first time, to our knowledge, in this article, viewed in the perspective of the physiological role of PKCε in normal Th lymphocytes, adds knowledge to the molecular pathophysiology of HT and creates potentially new pharmacological targets for the therapy of this disease.

Abstract
IBDs are characterized by increased influx of immune cells to the mucosa of genetically susceptible persons. Cellular migration to injury sites is mediated by chemokines. CXCL12 is a ubiquitous, constitutive chemokine that participates in stem cell proliferation and migration and mediates T lymphocyte migration to inflamed tissues. We have recently reported that CXCL12 and its receptor, CXCR4, are expressed in normal and more prominently, inflamed human intestinal mucosa. However, the interactions and roles of CXCL12 and its receptors, CXCR4 and the recently discovered CXCR7, in intestinal inflammation have not been defined. In the present study, we further dissected the effects of CXCL12 on lymphocytes in intestinal homeostasis and inflammation and delineated the interplay between CXCL12 and its receptors CXCR4 and CXCR7. To that end, fresh mononuclear cells were isolated from mucosa and PB of healthy or IBD patients. Phenotypical and functional assays were conducted using flow cytometry, Transwell migration chambers, and ELISA. The data show that CXCL12-mediated migration of T cells is CXCR4- but not CXCR7-dependent. T cell activation reciprocally regulates CXCR7 and CXCR4 expression and migratory capacity. IBD PBTs expressed more CXCR7 than normal PBTs. Finally, T cells attracted by CXCL12 are mostly of a memory phenotype. In conclusion, the present study suggests that the interplay between CXCL12 and its receptors affects homeostasis and inflammation in the intestinal mucosa.

Abstract
In the US, the increase in methamphetamine (METH) use has been associated with increased human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. Dendritic cells (DC) are the first line of defense against HIV-1. DC play a critical role in harboring HIV-1 and facilitate the infection of neighboring T cells. However, the role of METH on HIV-1 infectivity and the expression of the proteome of immature dendritic cells (IDC) has not been elucidated. We hypothesize that METH modulates the expression of a number of proteins by IDC that foster the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. We utilized LTR amplification, p24 antigen assay and the proteomic method of difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) combined with protein identification through high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) to analyze the effects of METH on HIV-1 infectivity (HIV-1 IIIB; CXCR4-tropic, X4 strain) and the proteomic profile of IDC. Our results demonstrate that METH potentiates HIV-1 replication in IDC. Furthermore, METH significantly differentially regulates the expression of several proteins including CXCR3, protein disulfide isomerase, procathepsin B, peroxiredoxin and galectin-1. Identification of unique, METH-induced proteins may help to develop novel markers for diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic targeting in METH using subjects.

Data demonstrate that cocaine significantly upregulates HIV-1 infection in NHA as measured by LTR-R/U5 amplification and p24 antigen assay. Further, our results show for the first time that cocaine differentially regulates the expression of a number of proteins by NHA that may play a role in the neuropathogenesis of HIV-1 disease.

Abstract
Drug-resistant human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are increasing globally, especially in North America. Therefore, it is logical to develop new therapies directed against HIV binding molecules on susceptible host cells in addition to current treatment modalities against virus functions. Inhibition of the viral genome can be achieved by degrading or silencing posttranslational genes using small interfering (si) ribonucleic acids (RNAs) consisting of double-stranded forms of RNA. These siRNAs usually contain 21-23 base pairs (bp) and are highly specific for the nucleotide sequence of the target messenger RNA (mRNA). These siRNAs form a complex with helicase and nuclease enzymes known as "RNA-induced silencing complex" (RISC) that leads to target RNA degradation. Thus, siRNA has become a method of selective destruction of HIV now used by various investigators around the globe. However, given the sequence diversity of the HIV genomes of infected subjects, it is difficult to target a specific HIV sequence. Therefore, targeting nonvariable HIV binding receptors on susceptible cells or other molecules of host cells that are directly or indirectly involved in HIV infections may be an interesting alternative to targeting the virus itself. Thus, the simultaneous use of siRNAs specific for HIV and host cells may be a unique, new approach to the therapy of HIV infections. In this article, we present evidence that siRNA directed at the CD4 independent attachment receptor (DC-SIGN) significantly inhibits HIV infection of dendritic cells (DCs). This effect may be mediated by modulation of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK).

Abstract
Chemokine receptor expression may vary dramatically among cell subsets. Therefore, the stage of differentiation and the lineage of CD4 cells may profoundly affect their susceptibility to infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). However, the mechanisms of coreceptor competition for association with HIV-1 glycoproteins remain unknown. Here, we propose mathematical models that address the interdependence of the concentrations of CD4 and CCR5 for efficient infection by M-tropic HIV-1 as well as additional complications originated by coreceptor competition caused by posttranslational modifications that positively or negatively affect the coreceptor ability to form complexes with CD4 and/or HIV-1 envelope. Furthermore, since CCR5 and CXCR4 expression on human leukocytes designate these cells as HIV-1 potential targets, the expression of the major HIV-1 coreceptors are also dynamically modeled/quantified as function of the stage of cell differentiation. Results show that although coreceptor competition degree has limited influence on R5 strain infectivity, the infectivity of CXCR4-using isolates strongly depends on the CD4 expression, according to the coreceptor competition model proposed in Lee et al. [J. Virol. 74(11) (2000) 5016]. Understanding the role of in vivo alterations in CD4, CCR5 and CXCR4 densities on HIV-1 cell entry may help the development of optimal control strategies for AIDS pathogenesis.

Abstract
We report that cocaine may act as cofactor in HIV pathogenesis by increasing dendritic cell-specific C type ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) expression on dendritic cells (DC). Our results show that cocaine-using, long-term nonprogressors and normal progressors of HIV infection manifest significantly higher levels of DC-SIGN compared with cocaine-nonusing long-term nonprogressors and normal progressors, respectively. Furthermore, in vitro HIV infection of MDC from normal subjects cultured with cocaine and/or HIV peptides up-regulated DC-SIGN, confirming our in vivo finding. Cocaine, in synergy with HIV peptides, also up-regulates DC-SIGN gene expression by MDC. Furthermore, the cocaine-induced effects were reversed by a D1 receptor antagonist demonstrating the specificity of the reaction. Our results indicate that cocaine exacerbates HIV infection by up-regulating DC-SIGN on DC and these effects are mediated via dysregulation of MAPKs. These data are the first evidence that cocaine up-regulates the expression of DC-SIGN on DC. A better understanding of the role of DC-SIGN in HIV infection may help to design novel therapeutic strategies against the progression of HIV disease in the drug-using population.

Abstract
Activation of HIV-1-infected T cells through the T cell receptor and costimulatory molecule CD28 induces proviral transcription; however, the mechanism behind this enhanced virus expression is unknown. Jurkat T cells and primary CD4+ T cells expressing a CD8 alpha/CD28 chimeric receptor containing a mutation at tyrosine 200 in the cytoplasmic tail were unable to fully induce HIV-1 proviral transcription in response to CD8 alpha/28 receptor cross-linking in comparison to CD28 costimulation. The loss of transactivation seen with the mutant chimeric receptor correlated with a decrease in Vav tyrosine phosphorylation. CD28-dependent activation of HIV-1 transcription also required the GTPase activity of Rac1, which was not activated during costimulation with the mutated receptor. Furthermore, the mutated receptor was unable to induce NF-kappa B DNA binding or transactivation, as demonstrated by electromobility shift assays and HIV-1 long terminal repeat and NF-kappa B-dependent reporter constructs. These studies show that signaling events initiated by tyrosine 200 of CD28 are required for efficient expression of HIV-1 transcription in activated T cells.

Abstract
Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) represent a major reservoir of HIV, and active infection occurs surrounding these cells, suggesting that this microenvironment is highly conducive to virus transmission. Because CD4 T cells around FDCs in germinal centers express the HIV coreceptor, CXCR4, whereas CD4 lymphocytes in many other sites do not, it prompted the hypothesis that FDCs may increase CXCR4 expression on CD4 T cells, thereby facilitating infection. To test this, HIV receptor/coreceptor expression was determined on CD4 T cells cultured with or without FDCs, and its consequence to infection was assessed by measuring virus binding and entry. FDCs had little effect on CCR5 or CD4 expression but increased CXCR4 expression on CD4 T cells. FDC-mediated up-regulation of CXCR4 on CD4 T cells occurred by 24 h and was sustained for at least 96 h in vitro, and FDC-CD4 T cell contact was necessary. Importantly, increased CXCR4 expression directly correlated with increased binding and entry of HIV-1 X4 isolates. Furthermore, CD4(+)CD57(+) germinal center T cells expressed high levels of CXCR4 and supported enhanced entry of X4 HIV compared with other CD4 T cells from the same tissue. Thus, in addition to serving as a reservoir of infectious virus, FDCs render surrounding germinal center T cells highly susceptible to infection with X4 isolates of HIV-1.

Abstract
Two strains of transgenic (Tg) mice (Valpha2.3/Vbeta8.2 and Valpha4/Vbeta8.2) have T cell receptors (TCR) that recognize the NAc1-11 immunodominant epitope of the myelin basic protein (MBP). Spontaneous experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (sEAE) readily develops in Valpha2.3/Vbeta8.2 mice. T cells in Valpha2.3/Vbeta8.2 mice demonstrate increased levels of CD69, CD44(high) and decreased CD45RB relative to Valpha4/Vbeta8.2 mice. Increased proliferative responses to MBP and high levels of TNF-alpha are seen in Valpha2.3/Vbeta8.2 mice. High IL-4 and TGF-beta production is observed in Valpha4/Vbeta8.2 mice. CC chemokines (macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1alpha), RANTES and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1)) are increased in the central nervous system (CNS) of Valpha2.3/Vbeta8.2 mice. Thus, activated Th1 cells in the periphery of Valpha2.3/Vbeta8.2 mice may traffic to the CNS in response to CC chemokines, influencing sEAE.

Abstract
The present study analyzed the feasibility of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor T-cell homing in vivo after loading T cells with superparamagnetic iron oxide (CLIO) nanoparticles derivatized with a peptide sequence from the transactivator protein (Tat) of HIV-1. T cells were isolated from C57BL/6 (B6) mice and loaded with 0, 400, 800, 1600, or 8000 ng/ml of FITC conjugated CLIO-Tat (FITC-CLIO-Tat). There was a dose-dependent uptake of FITC-CLIO-Tat by T cells. Stimulation of FITC-CLIO-Tat loaded T cells with anti-CD3 (0.1 microg/ml) plus IL-2 (5 ng/ml) elicited normal activation and activation-induced cell death (AICD) responses, and normal upregulation of CD69, ICAM-1 (CD54), L-selectin (CD62L), and Fas. The FITC-CLIO-Tat loaded T cells (3 x 10(7)) were transferred intravenously (i.v.) into B6 mice and the in vivo MRI of mice was acquired using a spin-echo pulse sequence at 4.7 T with a Bruker Biospec system. Homing of T cells into the spleen was observed by a decrease in MRI signal intensity within 1 h after the transfer, which remained decreased for 2-24 h after transfer. These homing data were confirmed by FACS analysis and biodistribution analysis using 125I-CLIO-Tat. Thus, T cells can be efficiently loaded with FITC-CLIO-Tat without interfering with their normal activation and AICD, or homing to the spleen, and the biodistribution of FITC-CLIO-Tat loaded T cells can be monitored in vivo over time by MRI.

Abstract
Upon activation, naive T cells alter their migratory patterns, acquiring the ability to move through peripheral tissues as well as the general lymphoid circulation. Although the mechanisms responsible for these alterations are not well understood, changes in chemokine receptor expression may play a critical role. To investigate these changes, the expression patterns of two chemokine receptors, CXCR3 and CXCR4, were compared on CD4(+) T cells following activation in the MLR. By day 9 of activation, expression of the inflammatory chemokine receptor CXCR3 was up-regulated, while expression of the homeostatic chemokine receptor CXCR4 was down-regulated. Alterations in receptor expression occurred almost exclusively on a subpopulation of T cells that expressed higher levels of CD4. These CD4(high) T cells demonstrated many characteristics of activated T cells and had undergone division in the MLR. By day 9 of culture, the majority of CXCR3(+) and CXCR4(-) cells had divided and had acquired an activated/memory phenotype (CD45RA(-) CD45RO(+) CD69(+) CD25(+)). The levels of transcripts for both CXCR3 and CXCR4 were increased upon allo-activation. The discrepancy between levels of CXCR4 mRNA and surface protein was not due to sequestration of the receptor in intracellular compartments, as CXCR4 was not detectable intracellularly. However, intracellular CXCR3 was readily detectable. Finally, cells from allogeneic cultures demonstrated enhanced migration toward IFN-inducible T cell alpha chemoattractant and reduced migration toward stromal cell-derived factor-1 compared with syngeneic controls, thus suggesting that the observed switch in receptor expression may at least partly contribute to the differential patterns of migration displayed by naive and memory T cells.

Abstract
The regulatory human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) Tat protein shows pleiotropic effects on the survival and growth of both HIV-1-infected and uninfected CD4+ T lymphocytes. In this study, we have demonstrated that low concentrations (10 ng/ml) of extracellular Tat protein induce the expression of both c-fos mRNA and protein in serum-starved Jurkat CD4+ lymphoblastoid T cells. Using deletion mutants, we demonstrates that the SRE, CRE and, to a lesser extent, also the SIE domains (all placed in the first 356 bp of c-fos promoter) play a key role in mediating the response to extracellular Tat. Moreover, the ability of Tat to activate the transcriptional activity of c-fos promoter was consistently decreased by pretreatment with the ERK/MAPK kinase inhibitor PD98058. Activation of c-fos is functional as demonstrated by induction of the AP-1 transcription factor, which is involved in the regulation of critical genes for the activation of T lymphocytes, such as interleukin 2. The Tat-mediated induction of c-fos and AP-1 in uninfected lymphoid T cells may contribute to explain the immune hyperactivation that characterizes the progression to autoimmuno deficiency syndrome and constitutes the optimal environment for HIV-1 replication, occurring predominantly in activated/proliferating CD4+ T cells.
