Small-Molecule Chemotherapeutic Drugs Reactivate HIV-1 via Non-Canonical Pathways and Modulate CD8 T cell response ~ Dr. Isa Munoz-Arias, Ph.D Lab of Dr. Timothy Henrich, M.D UCSF Department of Experimental Medicine IAS HIV Cure & Cancer Forum Paris, France
Background Drugs that can reactivate the latent reservoir without global cell activation while enhancing HIV-specific immune responses are an HIV cure priority. Goal of the project: Screen FDA approved chemotherapeutic drugs for the ability to reactivate HIV and enhance anti-hiv immunity, and study successful candidates for mechanism.

Question Is Sunitinib as efficient as Bryostatin and Romodepsin at reactivating HIV from suppressed patient samples?
Sunitinib Reactivates More HIV than Bryostatin and Romodepsin from Suppressed Patient Samples (N=3)
Is Sunitinib inducing reactivation via the canonical pathway? NFAT 1 NFAT 2 HIV-1 LTR CEβpβ NFƙB 1 NFƙB 2 AP1 SP1 SP1 SP1 TATA NFAT 2 NFƙB- canonical 3 NFAT- canonical 1 AP1 3 SP1 4 CEβP-Only 1 functional site

Question Does Sunitinib enhance CD8 T cell degranulation in patient samples treated with pooled Gag peptides?
Methods HIV + Patient PBMC 1x10^6 PBMC /well Sunitinib at (4 8x IC50) Overlapping Gag Peptides (0.4ug/mL) 5 days Stained for CD107a Treated with Golgi-Stop FACS analysis

Conclusions Bortezomib, Sorafenib and Sunitinib reactivate HIV from ART suppressed patient samples Sunitinib reactivates more HIV than Bryostatin and Romodepsin from ART suppressed patient derived cells Sunitinib does not induce transcription or translation of NFƙB/NFAT target proteins Sunitinib may enhance CD8 T cell degranulation in the presence of overlapping gag peptides
Future Directions Test for NFƙB Activation in patient CD4 T cells directly Identify the mechanism of Sunitinib, Bortezomid, and Sorafinib dependent HIV reactivation Confirm the enhancement of CD8 T cell degranulation by Sunitinib
