BACKGROUND: A lower virulence of HIV-1 subtype C (HIV-1C) is suggested to be related to the global dominance of HIV-1C. In this observational study, combining in vivo (clinical monitoring) and in vitro (genotypic, biochemical, and phenotypic assays), we explored whether HIV-1C from East Africa (HIV-1CEA ) is more pathogenic due to the evolution of a PYxE-insertion (CPYxEi ) in the gag-p6 that also could affect the therapy response.
METHODS: HIV-1B (n = 112) and HIV-1CEA (n = 128)-infected individuals residing in Sweden were analyzed with regard to Gag-p6 genotype and clinically monitored. Based on the Gag-p6 characteristics, three HIV-1CEA and one HIV-1 B patient-derived p2-INT-recombinant virus (gag-p2/NCp7/p1/p6/pol-PR/RT/IN) were constructed to analyze viral growth kinetics (VGKs) and drug sensitivity assays. Reverse transcriptase (RT) from the same samples was cloned into the heterodimer expression plasmid (pRT6H-PROT) to analyze catalytic efficiency of RT.
RESULTS: A higher viral failure rate and lower pre-therapy CD4+ T-cell counts were observed in HIV-1CEA -infected patients compared to HIV-1B-infected patients. In Gag-p6, PTAP-duplication was more common in HIV-1C. HIV-1CEA -infected patients with signature CPYxEi, evidenced very low pre-therapy CD4+ T-cell counts and suboptimal gain in CD4+ T-cells following therapy, as compared to the non-CPYxEi -strains indicating higher virulence. VGKs showed a statistically significant higher replication capacity (RC) for the CPYxEi viruses than the other two non-CPYxEi strains. No statistically significant difference was observed in the catalytic efficiency among HIV-1C RTs.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first evidence of polymerase independent increased virulence and RC in HIV-1CEA following PYxE-insertion that is associated with suboptimal CD4+ T-cell gain following therapy initiation. J. Med. Virol. 89:106-111, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
