2 The Surfaces of Infection Normal Cervix Normal Intestinal Mucosa CD4 T cell Low density of available CD4 T cell targets Majority of CD4 T cells in the body

3 Transmission And Local Propagation Transmission at Cervix Transmission at Intestinal Mucosa Infected founder population Recruitment and infection of new CD4 T cell targets Infection of resident CD4 T cell targets

4 Window of Therapeutic Opportunity Transmission at Cervix Transmission at Intestinal Mucosa Infected founder population Recruitment and infection of new CD4 T cell targets Infection of resident CD4 T cell targets

5 Damage to the GI Tract in Acute Infection HIV - Acute HIV + Massive loss of mucosal CD4 T cells in acute infection Majority of loss is from lamina propria Accounts for loss of majority of memory CD4 T cells

6 Maintenance of Mucosal Integrity Th17 CD4 T cells are critical to the maintenance of mucosal epithelium, barrier function and immunity Brenchley JM, et al. Blood 2008 Th17 cells are preferentially lost from the GI tract

7 Consequences of Epithelial Barrier Damage Loss of tight junctions Mucus Microbial products Enterocyte apoptosis CD4 T cell loss Healthy Gut Tight epithelial junctions, mucus Anti-microbial peptides Secreted antibodies Phagocytes, neutrophils, T cells Cross-talk between microbes and epithelial cells and immune cells HIV-Infected Gut Massive loss of CD4 T cells Preferential loss of Th17 cells Enteropathy 2-10x increased permeability Translocation of microbial products

8 What We Talk About When We Talk About Immune Activation As virus load decreases, immune activation persists Innate Cells: activation of Macrophages and Dendritic Cells Cytokines, chemokines: IFNa, TNF, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, IL-10 Acute phase proteins: Serum Amyloid A, C-Reactive Protein Coagulation: D-dimers, Tissue Factor Fibrosis: Matrix Metalloproteinase activation, collagen deposition Microbial sensors: Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein, soluble CD14 Adaptive T cells: increased turnover, exhaustion, low thymic output, virus reservoir B cells: increased turnover, exhaustion, hypergammaglobulinemia Frequency of activated T cells is a strong predictor of disease progression

9 ART and T Cell Immune Activation Hunt, et al. J Infect Dis. 2003, 2008 and unpublished observations T cell activation declines during long-term ART, but remains elevated and is associated with poor CD4 T cell reconstitution

10 Causes Of Chronic Immune Activation HIV-induced activation of innate immune system (Bhardwaj) When virus load decreases after acute phase, immune activation remains elevated Virus load alone is a poor predictor disease progression (Rodriguez JAMA 2006) Immune activation predicts disease progression independent of viral load (Giorgi, Deeks etc.) Elite controllers who progress have increased activated CD38 + T cells (Hunt JID 2008) When virus load is suppressed with ART immune activation persists and predicts progression Increased antigen load, bacterial overgrowth, herpes viruses (Deeks, Hunt) Immunologic and structural damage to gut, increased mucosal permeability, translocation of inflammatory microbial products into systemic circulation

11 The Gut and Immune Activation Microbial Translocation: translocation of gut-derived microbial products to systemic circulation without overt bacteremia Graft vs. host disease Inflammatory bowel disease Liver disease Pancreatitis Surgery Alcohol NSAIDS Measures of microbial translocation correlate with systemic immune activation and are predictive of clinical outcome Can microbial translocation across gut mucosal surface cause systemic immune activation in HIV infection?

12 20m l Microbial Translocation in HIV Infection Plasma LPS and bacterial 16S rdna levels are indicators of microbial translocation Increased plasma LPS and bacterial 16S rdna levels in HIV + individuals indicate microbial translocation

13 LPS and Systemic Immune Activation Plasma LPS correlates with CD8 T cell activation and plasma IFNa Other factors in addition to LPS directly and indirectly stimulating adaptive and innate immune systems (peptidoglycan, bacterial DNA..)

15 LPS Causes Immune Activation In Vivo LPS-stimulated monocytes secrete scd14 and shed surface CD14 Raised plasma scd14 indicates chronic in vivo stimulation of monocyte/macrophages by LPS The host response to microbial translocation

16 Microbial Translocation and Disease Progression Strategies for Management of Antiretroviral Therapy (SMART) 5,472 HIV+ subjects at 318 sites in 33 countries CD4+ T cells > 350 cells/mm 3 at enrollment >80% on ART Antiretroviral strategy Viral suppression (VS): Continuous use of ART Drug conservation (DC): Defer treatment until CD4+ T cells < 250 cells/mm 3 Continue treatment until CD4+ T cells > 350 cells/mm 3 85 subjects died, 124 had cardiovascular events, 96 had opportunistic diseases increased in DC arm Odds Ratio of death 1.8 in DC arm IL-6, C-reactive protein and D-dimer were associated with mortality In 700 subjects, we evaluated baseline levels of: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Soluble CD14 (scd14) LPS core antigen-specific antibody (EndoCAb) Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) plasma marker of enterocyte apoptosis Each case was matched with 2 controls on age, sex, location, date of enrollment

17 Microbial Translocation and Enterocyte Damage Biomarkers indicate microbial translocation, LPS bioactivity and enterocyte damage in treated and untreated subjects

18 LPS Levels and Disease Progression Raised plasma LPS levels predict PB CD4 T cell decline, independently of viremia, in subjects with high plasma scd14

19 scd14 Levels and Mortality > <2.07 x10 6 pg/ml scd14: OR of Death by Quartile Adjusted for IL-6, D-dimer, CRP, SAA and virus load Univariate Sandler JID OR (95% CI) Baseline scd14 is a significant independent predictor of death from AIDS and non-aids events

20 Markers of Inflammation and GI Dysfunction Predict Mortality Microbial translocation Hunt, CROI 2013 Inflammation Coagulation T cells %CD38 + DR + %CD57 + DR + Odds of Mortality (4 th vs 1 st Quartile) (Independent of CD4 count and virus load) Markers of inflammation and gut barrier dysfunction predict mortality independently of CD4 count and virus load

21 Microbial Translocation in HBV and HCV Infections Possible reasons for microbial translocation: Altered hepatic architecture Kupffer cell dysfunction Intestinal permeability Bacterial overgrowth Measured plasma LPS, scd14, I-FABP and IL-6 in 84 subjects with varying degrees of liver fibrosis due to infection with HBV or HCV

22 Microbial Translocation in Hepatitis Increased levels of I-FABP, LPS, scd14 and IL-6 indicate enterocyte damage, microbial translocation and LPS bioactivity

23 Hepatic Inflammation, Fibrosis and Regeneration scd14 correlates with markers of inflammation, fibrosis and regeneration
