Higher CD27+CD8+ T Cells Percentages during Suppressive Antiretroviral Therapy Predict Greater Subsequent CD4+ T Cell Recovery in Treated HIV Infection

چکیده
HIV-mediated immune dysfunction may influence CD4(+) T cell recovery during suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART). We analyzed cellular biomarkers of immunological inflammation, maturation, and senescence in HIV-infected subjects on early suppressive ART. We performed longitudinal analyses of peripheral immunological biomarkers of subjects on suppressive ART (n = 24) from early treatment (median 6.4 months, interquartile range [IQR] 4.8-13.9 months) to 1-2 years of follow-up (median 19.8 months, IQR 18.3-24.6 months). We performed multivariate regression to determine which biomarkers were associated with and/or predictive of CD4(+) T cell recovery. After adjusting for the pre-ART CD4(+) T cell count, age, proximal CD4(+) T cell count, and length of ART medication, the percentage of CD27(+)CD8(+) T cells remained significantly associated with the CD4(+) T cell recovery rate (β = 0.092 cells/ul/month, P = 0.028). In HIV-infected subjects starting suppressive ART, patients with the highest percentage of CD8(+) T cells expressing CD27 had the greatest rate of CD4(+) T cell recovery.

T-cell division in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection is mainly due to immune activation: a longitudinal analysis in patients before and during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection, highly increased T-cell turnover was proposed to cause exhaustion of lymphocyte production and consequently development of AIDS. Here, we investigated cell proliferation, as measured by expression of the Ki-67 nuclear antigen, in peripheral blood CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocyte subpopulations before and during highly active antiretroviral therapy ...
متن کاملReconstitution of naive T cells during antiretroviral treatment of HIV-infected adults is dependent on age.
OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of age on the regeneration rate of naive and memory T cells in the blood of 45 adults on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). METHODS The age of the patients ranged from 25 to 57 years. Naive cells were defined as CD45RA+CD27+. Cells negative for CD45RA and/or CD27 were considered memory type cells. RESULTS The recovery rates of naive CD4 and CD...
متن کاملDifferent profiles of immune reconstitution in children and adults with HIV-infection after highly active antiretroviral therapy
BACKGROUND Recent advances in characterizing the immune recovery of HIV-1-infected people have highlighted the importance of the thymus for peripheral T-cell diversity and function. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in immune reconstitution profiles after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) between HIV-children and adults. METHODS HIV patients were grouped accordin...
متن کاملHigh T-cell immune activation and immune exhaustion among individuals with suboptimal CD4 recovery after 4 years of antiretroviral therapy in an African cohort
BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy (ART) partially corrects immune dysfunction associated with HIV infection. The levels of T-cell immune activation and exhaustion after long-term, suppressive ART and their correlation with CD4 T-cell count reconstitution among ART-treated patients in African cohorts have not been extensively evaluated. METHODS T-cell activation (CD38+HLA-DR+) and immune exhau...
متن کاملIdentification of a particular HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell subset with a CD27+ CD45RO-/RA+ phenotype and memory characteristics after initiation of HAART during acute primary HIV infection.
CD8(+) T cells play an important role in controlling viral infections. Defective CD8(+) T-cell responses during HIV infection could contribute to viral persistence. Early initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy during acute primary HIV infection helps to preserve HIV-specific immune responses. Here, we describe a particular CD27(+) CD45RO(-)/RA(+) HIV-specific CD8(+) T cell in partic...
