Protease (PR) cleavage site (CS) mutations could compensate for impaired replication capacity of drug-resistant viruses. Patients and methods: We analysed the cleavage sites p1/p7 and p1/p6 gag of 500 HIV-1 subtype B infected patients. The collective consists of 275 therapy-naive and 225 therapy-experienced patients with at least one primary PR mutation, from whom eight underwent therapy-interruption in different clinical settings. Results: Multiple mutations within the CS p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag accumulated in therapy-experienced isolates (p7/p1: A431V K436R I437V and p1/p6 gag: L449F/V P452S P453L/A). Further rare CS mutations were totally absent in therapy-naive viruses. Sixty percent of all therapy-experienced viruses exhibited at least one therapy-associated CS mutation, but so did 10% of therapy-naive viruses. The analysis of CS and PR mutations in therapy-experienced viruses revealed several positive correlations A431V with L24I M46I/L I54V V82A; I437V with I54V V82F/T/S; L449V with I54M/L/S/T/A; and L449F/R452S/P453L: with D30N I84V whereas P453L and V82A were negatively correlated. Mutagenetic trees constructed form this cross-sectional data showed an ordered accumulation of the most prominent CS mutations along two pathways L90M I84V P453L and I54 V82 A431V followed by either M46L or L24I. Furthermore, eight viruses with at least one therapyassociated mutation at each CS displayed an outstanding maintenance of major PR mutations during therapy interruption. Conclusions: These findings emphasize the relevance of CS mutations in the evolution of HIV resistance to PR inhibitors. Therefore, therapy-associated CS mutations should be considered in HIV resistance tests to estimate viral fitness in different clinical settings. Introduction Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) effectively inhibits the replication of the HIV in most patients. Apart from compliance problems, the emergence of resistance-associated mutations within the target proteins protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase (RT) is one of the major reasons for therapy failure. Some PR mutations conferring drug resistance also influence the enzymatic activity of the PR, leading to decreased viral fitness compared with wild type. Compensatory changes were observed at secondary sites within the PR after the occurrence of primary PR mutations that had affected enzymatic activity [1]. The processing of HIV precursor proteins into functional viral proteins by the impaired mutant PR could be improved through modification of its substrate peptides [2]. The 2006 International Medical Press
2 J Verheyen et al. cleavage sites (CS) within these precursor proteins exhibit different cleavage rates, demonstrating the gradual activation of viral enzymes and liberation of structural proteins as a crucial step in virus replication. The initial cleavage takes place at CS p2/p7, followed by cleavage of secondary CS p1/p6 gag and p17/p24 and finally of the less adapted tertiary CS p7/p1 and p24/p7 [3,4]. With the introduction of protease inhibitors (PIs) into the antiretroviral therapy, the occurrence of CS mutations has been reported from cell culture experiments and in vivo studies [5,6]. Mainly mutations at the two CS p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag have been discussed as compensatory mutations restoring the compromised enzymatic activity of mutated PRs. In vitro experiments proved the compensatory character of certain CS mutations (A431V/L449F/P453L) for specific PR mutations [7 10]. A great variety of CS mutations have been associated with therapy exposure and with certain PR mutations. However, the patient cohorts and analysed mutations varied largely and a comprehensive approach for analysing these CS mutations with regard to resistance profiles is still missing. The knowledge of relations between resistance to different PI and compensatory pathways could provide deeper insights into the evolution of drug resistance. Moreover, viral fitness gains increasing attention in different clinical settings, especially during therapy-interruption or maintenance of a failing therapy regimen. Great efforts are therefore being made to establish fitness assays that could measure compensatory effects of mutations and verify results from observations of cell culture or patient cohorts. We analysed gag mutations in numerous HIVsubtype B samples between therapy-naive (TN) patients along with a comparable number of patients who had failed previous therapies, with primary PR mutations. The purpose of this strategy was to distinguish natural polymorphisms from therapy associated mutations. Patients and methods Patients Blood samples were collected in the years 2001 to 2004 from two groups: from therapy-naive TN patients from the RESINA study [13 15], all of whom were infected with HIV-1 subtype B without primary protease mutations; and from therapy-experienced (TE) patients from the university clinics of Cologne, Düsseldorf and Bonn, all of whom were also infected with HIV-1 subtype B. The TN viruses were analysed before the initiation of HAART after a variable time of HIV infection. Most TE patients were heavily pretreated and obtained a genotypic HIV resistance test after therapy failure, revealing at least one of known primary PR mutations: L24I, D30N, V32I, M46I/L, I50L/V, I54V/M/S/L/T/A, V82A/F/T/S, I84V, N88S/T, L90M. Eight patients with highly resistant viruses underwent therapy interruption for different clinical reasons, and HIV genotypes were compared before and during therapy interruption. Genotypic resistance tests HIV from all patients were genotyped and the genotypic resistance test was performed as described previously [14]. Briefly, a OneStep RT-PCR (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) with primers RES1, 5 -GAAGAAATGATGACAGCATGTCAGGG-3 (nucleotides [nt] 1,819 1,844) and RES2, 5 -TAATT- TATTACTTGTTCATTTCCTCCAAT-3 (nt 4,173 4,202) was carried out, followed by a nested PCR with HotStartTaq (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and primers Res3, 5 -AGACAGGCTAATTTTT- TAGGGA-3 (nt 2,074 2,095) and Res4, 5 -ATGGYTCTTGATAAATTTGATATGTCC-3 (nt 3,559 3,585). The population based sequencing of HIV-1 pol region was performed with the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System sequencing module (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). HIV-1 pol sequences were assembled and edited with the ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping software v2.5 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Analysis of the C-terminal HIV gag gene Viral RNA was isolated from patient s plasma using QIAamp viral RNA mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to manufacturer s protocol. Reverse Transcription and PCR were carried out using OneStep RT-PCR kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and primers C-gag1, 5 -CCAATTCCCC- CTTCATTTTTGG-3 (nt 2,404 2,382) and C-gag2, 5 -GGCTGTTGGAAATGTGGAAAGGA-3 (nt 2,023 2,045). The 0.4 kilobase pair PCR product was purified with the QIAquick spin PCR purification kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The sequence reaction was performed with the same separated primers and ABI reaction mix. Extension products were purified using MultiScreen purification plates (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) and Sephadex G-50 superfine (Amersham Biosciences, Uppsala, Sweden) and were run on an ABI Prism 310 capillary sequencer. The obtained sequences were assembled and edited by using the Seqman software and translated thereafter into protein sequences according to the gag and pol reading frame. Each sequence was aligned to the Hxb2 reference sequence and amino acid substitutions were documented (gag mutations in italic, PR mutations in non-italic). Mixtures of International Medical Press
3 Compensatory cleavage site mutations in HIV mutant and wild-type amino acids at resistanceassociated PR positions and CS positions were counted as mutant. Statistical analysis Categorical variables were analysed using either the χ 2 test of association or Fisher s exact test, according to the size of the analysed group. P<0.05 was considered as significant. The mtreemix software package is described by Beerenwinkel et al. [16,17]. Briefly, assuming that the appearance of mutations is permanent, a local maximum likelihood mutagenetic tree indicating their accumulation order can be estimated from cross-sectional data using a combination of a graph-theoretical method with an Expectation- Maximization approach. Results CS p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag mutations in TN and TE viruses Five amino acids in both directions from each cleavage site were compared (Table 1). The two carboxy-terminal gag cleavage sites (p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag) proved significant differences between the two groups. The leading therapy-associated mutations within the p7/p1 CS were A431V (P<0.0001) and I437V (P<0.0001), which were found only rarely in TN viruses. The mutation K436R tended to be more frequent in TE viruses but barely reached significance (P=0.029), whereas I437L occurred in similar number in both groups. The variety of CS mutations in comparison to HxB2 at the CS p1/p6 gag was much higher than at CS p7/p1. Five p1/p6 gag mutations were significantly more frequent in TE viruses (L449V (P<0.005), L449F (P<0.005), R452S (P<0.05), P453A (P<0.01) and P453L (P<0.0001)). At both CS some rare mutations were present almost exclusively among TE viruses: K436N (n=1), K436E (n=1), I437M (n=1), L449H (n=2), R451E (n=1), R451SS (n=1), R452K (n=1), R452Q (n=1), P453I (TE [n=4] vs TN [n=1]) P453S (n=3) and P453V (n=2), but each individual mutation failed significance due to their rare occurrence. By contrast, L449P occurred in similar number in both groups and was usually accompanied by P453 mutations, mainly P453L, which was much more frequent in viruses from TE patients when L449P was missing (TN [n=5], TE [n=46]) was further on named P453L *. However, P453T without additional L449P still lacked significance (P=0.176). No single S451 mutation exhibited was associated with exposure to antiretroviral therapy, however S451T failed only barely significance (TN [n=3] vs TE [n=8]; P=0.072; Table 1). Table 1.

Correlation of CS and PR mutations TE viruses with therapy-associated CS mutations (A431V, K436R, I437V, L449F/V, R452S and P453A/L*) were analysed with regard to their PR Antiviral Therapy 11:7 881

I437V was also linked with I54V (P<0.05) and mutations at position V82 (without V82A) (P<0.001). Different associations could be distinguished at gag position L449. Whereas L449F was significantly associated with PR mutations D30N (P<0.05), I84V (P<0.01) and N88D/S/T P<0.05), L449V was correlated with PR mutations at position I54 (P<0.01). In the case of L449P mutations, which were detected in similar numbers in TN and TE viruses, even an association with a less severe resistance profile could be notified. Viruses with P453L without an additional L449P were positively correlated with the occurrence of PR mutations D30N (P=0.069) and I84V (P<0.0001). They were also significantly less often detected in viruses harbouring the PR mutation V82A (P<0.05). No significant differences or tendencies could be found for viruses with K436R and P453A mutations, especially for the latter due to the low number of occurrence (Table 2). Moreover notable was that viruses with R452S mutations (n=4) simultaneously had PR mutation D30N (n=2) or PR mutations I54V, I84V and L90M (n=2). Correlation of CS and PR mutation patterns Sixty percent of all TE viruses had at least one therapy-associated CS mutation compared with 10% of TN viruses. If also the rare CS mutations (A431I, K436N/E, I437M, L449H, S451E, S451SS R452S/K/Q, P453I/T/S/V) were considered, 65,3% TE vs 12,4% TN viruses were positive for at least one CS mutation. Moreover TE viruses without any of these CS mutations (n=78) had a relatively low average sum of primary PR mutations (2.18 ±1.45); mainly TE viruses with only one single PR mutation had no CS mutations (37/78). Vice versa, therapyassociated CS mutations were quite frequent in TE viruses with more than one primary PR mutation. The percentage of TE viruses with one, two or more primary PR mutations, which were positive for at least one CS mutation, raised from 31.1% to 46.7% and 74.1%, respectively. More than one therapy-associated CS mutation at one cleavage site was only found in 10.2% of all TE viruses (p7/p1: 7.1%, p1/p6 gag: 3.1%). Particularly, the few viruses with two therapy-associated mutations at CS p1/p6 gag (n=7) had a surprisingly high amount of primary PR mutations (3.7 ±1.25). Two frequent but rarely combined (n=4) pairs of PR mutations were I54A V82A (n=51) and Table 2.

Resistance pathways for cleavage site mutations A431V and 453L* and protease mutations at position 54 and 82 as well as L24I, M46L, I84V and L90M Arrows indicate order of appearance. Simultaneous evolution along different pathways is possible, but a mutation can only occur in a sample, if all its predecessors (as seen from the root) were also present. Numerical edge labels indicate conditional probability of appearance of a mutation, given that its predecessor is present. Fifty seven percent of samples could be explained by an ordered accumulation along two pathways (right), whereas 43% followed an unordered appearance or perhaps other pathways. L90M I84V (n=41) both involved in different resistance pathways. Interestingly, viruses with PR mutations I54A V82A had more often therapyassociated mutations at the CS p7/p1 (P<0.005) and viruses with the PR mutations L90M I84V at the CS p1/p6 gag (P<0.0001). CS mutations at this site were also independently associated with the detection of the PR mutation D30N (P<0.0001) (Table 3). To identify the association of CS mutations with known evolutionary pathways we analysed our crosssectional with the mtreemix package. Two major pathways were revealed; one consisting of PR mutations at positions I54 and V82, the other consisting of PR mutations L90M and I84V. P453L* was found to be part of the L90M I84V pathway, whereas mutation A431V was part of the I54 V82 pathway. Remarkably, our analysis showed that mutation A431V typically occurred before protease mutations L24I or M46L (Figure 1). Fifty-seven percent of our samples could be explained with this model, whereas the remaining 43% were attributed to spontaneous, unordered appearance of mutations, or other not yet considered resistance pathways in this model (D30N, I54V independently of V82 mutations). Combinations of p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag CS mutations Forty-three (19.1%) of TE viruses had at least one therapy-associated CS mutation at each site (p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag). Almost no TE viruses with one primary PR mutation (2/45) and only a few with two primary PR mutations (6/45) belonged to this group, but 13 of 36 TE viruses with 5 or more primary PR mutations had therapy-associated CS mutations at both CS. These viruses were associated with PR mutations L24I, M46I/L, 54 and 82. PR mutations I84V/L90M and D30N were only barely detected (n=3) in contrast to viruses with CS p1/p6 gag mutations alone (n=10). A follow-up of eight patients who underwent therapy interruption for different clinical reasons, demonstrated an outstanding maintenance of primary PR mutations during therapy-interruption. HIV genotypic resistance tests were performed before therapy interruption and compared with results obtained during therapy interruption. The median time in therapy interruption, before the second HIV genotype was determined, was 41 days ( days).

Additionally all viruses revealed mutations at both cleavage site (CS; p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag; G1-CS) simultaneously. The time in therapy interruption (TI) before the next genotype (G2-PR/CS) was in median 43d. In patient 7 71V* and 73* were simultaneously detected with a wt virus at these two positions before TI. after median 43 days ( days). Notably, the HIV of patient 5 had no CS mutations and only two primary PR mutations 2,8 years before time point 1. In patient 7 wild-type and mutant viruses were detected at positions 71 and 73 before therapy interruption, so that in therapy interruption no PR mutations were lost but one mutant virus ruled out the other mutant virus. In patient 1, wild-type HIV was detected after 80 days of therapy interruption without any primary PR mutation, whereas after 42 days of therapy interruption the mutant virus was still detected. Interestingly, mutations at both CS were still detectable at day 80 without PR mutations. A follow-up after the initiation of a new, PIcontaining, therapy was also available in this patient and revealed the reoccurrence of the former mutant virus (saquinavir and lopinavir). HIV of patient 2 lost three PR mutations M46I, I47V and L33F, similar to Patient 1, the CS mutations remained almost unchanged and with the selective pressure of a new, also PI containing, therapy regime (lopinavir and amprenavir), these three PR mutations re-occurred (Table 4). Discussion From the introduction of PI into the antiretroviral therapy, CS mutations associated with the exposure to these drugs have been reported from in vitro and in vivo studies [5,6,18,19]. In recent years the restoration of the otherwise compromized replication capacity of PR mutant viruses could be demonstrated for some CS mutations such as A431V, L449F and P453L [7 9,20]. Other CS mutations varied from study to study, mainly due to a great variation of analysed viruses and incomparable clinical settings, so that their impact on the evolution of PI resistance still remained uncertain. Some CS mutations associated with therapy exposure in our study (A431V, I437V, L449F/V and P453L) were also found in similar quantities in previous studies. K436R occurred significantly more often in TE viruses similar to Bally et al. [22], but was not associated with any PR mutation, meaning that the impact as a compensatory mutation remains to be determined in further studies. Some new mutations at CS p1/p6 gag (K452S, P453A) could complete the spectrum of therapy-associated CS mutations. The role and impact of the rare CS mutations (A431I, K436N/E, I437M, L449H, S451E, S451SS R452S/K/Q, P453I/T/S/V) has to be verified due to the low number of positive viruses in further studies and follow-ups. Notably, viruses with K436E and I437T CS mutations have been found in in vitro selection experiments without additional PR mutations and displayed 5 8-fold resistance to all clinical by approved PI, due to an increased p7/p1 processing [23]. An increased resistance to amprenavir has furthermore been described in viruses with CS mutations L449F and P453L compared with viruses with International Medical Press
7 Compensatory cleavage site mutations in HIV the same PR gene without CS mutations previously [24]. CS mutations can therefore not only compensate for the impaired fitness of viruses with primary PR mutations, but can also directly contribute to PI resistance. Three natural polymorphisms (I437L, R451N and L449P) that were not associated with PR mutations or therapy exposure were identified in our study. L449P has been discussed controversially as a natural polymorphism or as compensatory CS mutation selecting certain PR mutations. L449P as natural polymorphism is further supported by the fact that TE viruses with this mutation showed fewer primary PR mutations than the other TE viruses. As L449P is almost always accompanied by P453 mutations, these have to be separated from single P453 mutations and explain former descriptions of P453L as a natural polymorphism selecting for certain PR mutations [22]. The meaning of compensatory mutations in TN viruses remains unclear. In comparison to 2% of TN patients with HIV already harbouring primary PR mutations [14], the number of viruses with putative compensatory mutations is much higher (12.1%). Whether a resistant virus is transmitted in these patients but failed to form the dominant strain or is still resting in a cellular reservoir could not be verified yet. The follow-up of these patients is furthermore important as it could be speculated that these viruses have a lower genetic barrier for the acquisition of certain PR mutations. Bally et al. [22] still found A431V and L449F exclusively in TE viruses, which is in contrast to the 0.4% and 1.4% of TN viruses in our study. Results from Gallego et al. [25] were difficult to compare since natural polymorphisms and compensatory mutations were not distinguished, but they seemed to reach similar quantities. We have shown that therapy-associated CS p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag are strongly associated with two different selected PR mutation profiles. On the one hand A431V and I437V could be grouped together according to selected PR mutations at positions 54 and 82, and on the other hand L449F, R452S and P453L were associated with PR mutations D30N and I84V, although L449F has been mentioned before in the context of different PR mutations [10,12]. The rare L449V correlated with PR mutations at position I54 (with and without additional mutations at position 82) could not be clearly assigned to one group. Some associations of CS mutations and PR mutations seen in our study have already been reported: A431V-V82/I54V/M46I/L [21,26], I437V V82 [26] and L449F/P453L I84V [10,12,22]. Newly revealed correlations such as A431V L24I, I437V I54V, L449V I54 and L449F/P453L D30N further support the interesting linkage of CS mutations to particular PR mutant profiles. Most CS p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag mutations were not first-line mutations during the evolution of PI resistance, since they were predominantly observed in viruses with two or more primary PR mutations. The PR mutation combinations and 84V 90M are associated with divergent resistance pathway. Whereas viruses with PR mutations at positions 54 and 82 have decreased susceptibility for lopinavir [27,28], the resistance factors against saquinavir are not altered at all [29]; the opposite is described for the combination of PR mutations L90M I84V, which contribute to intermediate resistance against saquinavir without influencing the susceptibility to lopinavir [29,30]. Interestingly, the two combinations were associated with different CS mutations (54 82: p7/p1 CS mutations and 84V 90M: p1/p6 gag CS mutations). Moreover, the cross-sectional data analysis integrated the two most prominent CS mutations (A431V and P453L*) in the different resistance pathways (90M 84V 453L* and V). For A431V, a further evolution to either M46L or L24I was estimated by the mutagenetic tree analysis, underlining the importance of A431V for the lopinavir resistance profile [27]. This is supported by the fact that A431V occurred in cell culture experiments after exposure to lopinavir [31]. Assuming that existing mutations in CS p1/p6 gag lower the genetic barrier to saquinavir resistance, one it should be realized that D30N, conferring only resistance to nelfinavir [29,30], was associated with p1/p6 gag mutations. This might imply that pre-treatment with nelfinavir reduces the genetic barrier to saquinavir resistance not only by selection for L90M, but also for D30N. Two important studies analysed the waning of PR mutations during therapy-interruption in HIV-infected patients. Deeks et al. [32] reported that the waning of PR mutations began in median after 6 weeks (interquartile range: 4 7 weeks) and was complete within 2 weeks (median). The time observed by Miller et al. [33] was even shorter. They found a complete wild-type PR in all patients after 30 days of therapy interruption. A431V as single CS mutation disappeared in these patients together with primary PR mutations. In comparison, our group of highly resistant viruses with at least one compensatory mutation at both CS revealed an outstanding ability to maintain PR mutations during therapy interruption. Although the limited number of patients in our study precludes general conclusions on viral evolution during therapy-interruptions, it is tempting to speculate that mutations at p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag CS favoured the maintenance of resistant viruses. Antiviral Therapy 11:7 885
8 J Verheyen et al. Altogether, our results underline the importance of therapy-associated mutations at CS p7/p1 and p1/p6 gag in the evolution of resistance to single or multiple PI, restoring the otherwise compromised viral fitness. It will be interesting to complete the knowledge about viral fitness by analysis of other CS (p17/p24, p24/p7 p2/p7) as well as other HIV proteins (p6).
