Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV has been a global success. But little is known about the growth parameters of infants delivered by mothers with HIV or the drug resistance of infants with HIV in China. The study aimed to assess growth parameters and drug resistance in Chinese infants exposed to HIV. METHODS We conducted an 18-month longitudinal follow-up study of 3283 infants (3222 without HIV; 61 with HIV) born to mothers with HIV in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between January 2015 and December 2021. The weight and length of all participants was recorded. In addition, genetic subtypes and drug resistance analysis were performed for infants with HIV. RESULTS Compared with infants without HIV, those with HIV had significantly lower weight/length Z-scores, except at 18 months of age. The length/age Z-scores of infants with HIV was significantly reduced, except at 1 month of age. The weight/age Z-scores of infants with HIV were significantly lower at all follow-up time points. The weight/length Z-scores of male infants without HIV were significantly lower than for female infants without HIV at all follow-up time points. Male infants without HIV had lower length/age and weight/age Z-scores than female infants at the remaining follow-up points, except at 1 month of age. Of a total of 61 infants with HIV, subtype and drug-resistance data were obtained from 37 (60.66%) samples. Infants with HIV were dominated by the CRF01_AE genotype and showed a diversity of mutation sites dominated by non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates the growth of infants exposed to HIV in southwest China and provides detailed information on subtype distribution and drug resistance of those with HIV. Nutritional support and drug-resistance surveillance for infants exposed to HIV need to be strengthened.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:10620. [PMID: 38724547 PMCID: PMC11082154 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-60965-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Although most people living with HIV (PLWH) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) achieve continuous viral suppression, some show detectable HIV RNA as low-level viremia (LLV) (50-999 copies/mL). Drug resistance mutations (DRMs) in PLWH with LLV is of particular concern as which may lead to treatment failure. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of LLV and LLV-associated DRMs in PLWH in Zhengzhou City, China. Of 3616 ART-experienced PLWH in a long-term follow-up cohort from Jan 2022 to Aug 2023, 120 were identified as having LLV. Of these PLWH with LLV, we obtained partial pol and integrase sequences from 104 (70 from HIV-1 RNA and 34 from proviral DNA) individuals. DRMs were identified in 44 individuals. Subtyping analysis indicated that the top three subtypes were B (48.08%, 50/104), CRF07_BC (31.73%, 33/104), and CRF01_AE (15.38%, 16/104). The proportions of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs), and integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) associated DRMs were 23.83% (24/104), 35.58% (37/104), 5.77% (6/104), and 3.85% (4/104), respectively, which contributed to an overall prevalence of 42.31% (44/104). When analyzed by individual DRMs, the most common mutation(s) were V184 (18.27%, 19/104), followed by V179 (11.54%, 12/104), K103 (9.62%, 10/104), Y181 (9.62%, 10/104), M41 (7.69%, 8/104), and K65R (7.69%, 8/104). The prevalence of DRMs in ART-experienced PLWH with LLV is high in Zhengzhou City and continuous surveillance can facilitate early intervention and provision of effective treatment.

[PMID: 38179423 PMCID: PMC10766352 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1249837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Genotypic drug resistance testing is cursrently recommended by the World Health Organization for all patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) undergoing care or switching regimes due to failure with previous antiretroviral therapy (ART). Patients with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) who meet the criteria for free testing for genotypic drug resistance due to poor adherence in Henan Province may resume their previous regimens before resampling. Therefore, resistance testing based on plasma RNA can fail in a proportion of patients. Resistance testing based on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is an alternative option. In this study, we investigated the differences in drug-resistant mutations (DRMs) between plasma HIV RNA and proviral DNA in treatment-experienced and treatment-naïve patients. Methods Matched plasma RNA and proviral DNA samples of 66 HIV-1 infected treatment-naïve and 78 treatment-experienced patients were selected for DRM analysis and comparison. Results DRMs were detected in 27.3% (18/66) of treatment-naïve and 80.8% (63/78) of treatment-experienced samples. Resistance to at least one drug was detected based on analysis of plasma RNA and proviral DNA in 7.6% (5/66) and 9.1% (6/66) of treatment-naïve patients and in 79.5% (62/78) and 78.2% (61/78) of treatment-experienced patients, respectively. Furthermore, 61/66 (92.4%) of treatment-naïve patients showed concordant RNA and DNA drug resistance. When drug resistance was defined as intermediate and high, the concordance of drug resistance profiles of paired RNA and proviral DNA samples derived from treatment-naïve patients were up to 97.0% compared with only 80.8% (63/78) in treatment-experienced patients. Discussion Our data indicate that drug resistance testing based on plasma RNA or proviral DNA might be interchangeable in treatment-naïve patients, whereas plasma RNA-based testing remains the best choice for drug resistance analysis in patients with ART failure in clinical practice.

INFECTION, GENETICS AND EVOLUTION : JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2023; 115:105520.

Abstract
Human deficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) harboring drug resistance mutations (DRMs) before the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) poses a serious threat to the efficacy of current ART regimens. Currently, the prevalence of pre-treatment drug resistance mutations (PDRMs) including transmitted DRMs (TDRMs) is not completely clear. Understanding this prevalence better should offer valuable data for clinical- and government-level decision-making. To closely monitor the PDRM trend in treatment-naïve people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Henan Province, China, plasma samples from the patients seeking treatments at our hospital from January 2022 to February 2023 were collected for genotypic drug resistance testing. From the 645 patients whose samples were collected, partial pol and integrase gene sequences were obtained from 637 patients. Subtyping analysis indicated that the top-three most common subtypes, in descending order, were CRF07_BC (41.76%, 266/637), CRF01_AE (28.26%, 180/637), and B (20.41%, 130/637). PDRMs were observed in 5.18% (33/637), 6.28% (40/637), 0.31% (2/637), and 2.83% (18/637) cases for nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs), and integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), respectively; all these medications contributed to an overall PDRM prevalence of 11.93% (76/637). On analyzing individual PDRMs, we noted that the most commonly observed mutation(s) were K103S/N (3.77%, 24/637), M184I/V (3.14%, 20/637), followed by K65R (1.26%, 8/637), and V106A/M (1.10%, 7/637). PDRM prevalence in ART-naïve PLWHA of Henan Province is high and increased compared with that noted in previous years. However, evidence of cluster-linked outbreaks of PDRMs is lacking, suggesting that measures such as education about adherence and improved treatment strategies with a low incidence of failure can effectively reduce PDRM prevalence.

Abstract
Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) efficiently reduces the morbidities and mortalities caused by HIV-1 infection and prevents the HIV epidemic. However, virologic failure (VF) occurs in some patients receiving ART experience, especially increases in those patients with intermittent or persistent low-level viremia (LLV). The presence of drug resistance mutations (DRMs) in LLV was a strong predictor of subsequent VF. The data on drug resistance (DR) or DRMs for HIV-1 infections at low-level viral load (LLVL) are limited in China. Objective To monitor the prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance and to evaluate the risk factors associated with drug resistance in LLVL HIV-1 infections during ART in Guangdong, China. Methods Plasma samples with LLVL during ART in Guangdong Province between Jan 2011 and Dec 2022 were subjected to a modified reverse-transcription PCR with a pre-step of virus concentration by ultracentrifugation before extraction and the Sanger sequencing. Then, the genotypic resistance test was performed and DR was analyzed by the Stanford HIVDB program. Finally, DR-associated factors were identified by logistic regression analysis. Results We found that CRF01_AE (53.57%) and CRF07_BC (25.07%) were the dominant HIV-1 genotypes in LLVL in Guangdong between 2011 and 2022 but that the percentage of CRF01_AE showed a trend of decrease over time. M46 (1.49%), M184 (30.91%), and K103 (21.46%) were the dominant PI-, NRTI-, and NNRTI-associated mutations, respectively. The total DR rate was 47.06%. Specifically, PI (3.71%) showed a significantly lower DR rate than NNRTI (40.74%) and NRTI (34.14%). Duration of ART, initial ART regimen, ethnicity, and WHO clinical stages were associated with DR. Conclusion The drug resistance rate among the LLVL during ART in Guangdong, China is high. The risk factors associated with HIV drug resistance should be seriously considered for better control.

Abstract
HIV-1, the causative agent of AIDS leads to many deaths worldwide though few options are available as therapeutics. To deal with the continuous mutation in the virus genome, requirement of new drugs is always there. Subtype variation plays a crucial role in case of HIV-1 therapeutics development. In this study, we want to investigate some pre examined molecules that can be effective for HIV-1 VPR. Inhibition of several protein-protein interactions with the small molecules will lead to identify some molecules as therapeutics other than the conventional drugs. We retrieved the sequences of different subtypes from the database and representative sequences were identified. Representative structures were modelled and validated using MD simulations. Forty molecules, showing anti Vpr activity in vitro were identified from literature survey and those were docked with each subtype representative structures. Two molecules a stable Hematoxylin Derivative (SHD) and Damnacanthal (D3), these were shown to be bind more effectively for all the subtypes. The stability of the protein and those two small molecule complexes were identified again with MD simulation followed by the binding energy calculation. Thus, these molecules can be thought as any option other than the conventional drug targeting HIV-1 Vpr.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Background HIV drug resistance poses a major challenge for anti-retroviral treatment (ART) and the prevention and control of HIV epidemic. Objective The study aims to establish a novel in-house assay with high efficiency, named AP in- house method, that would be suitable for HIV-1 drug resistance detection in China. Methods An in-house HIV-1 genotyping method was used to sequence the partial pol gene from 60 clinical plasma samples; the results of our test were compared with a commercial ViroSeq HIV-1 genotyping system. Results Among sixty samples, 58(96.7%) were successfully amplified by AP in-house method, five of them harbored viral load below 1,000 copies/ml. The genotype distribution was 43.1% CRF07_BC (25/58), 39.7% CRF01_AE (23/58), 6.9% CRF55_01B (4/58), 5.2% subtype B (3/58) and 5.2% CRF08_BC (3/58). Compared with that of the ViroSeq system, the consistent rate of these nucleotides and amino acids obtained by AP in-house method was up to 99.5 ± 0.4% and 99.5 ± 0.4%, respectively. A total of 290 HIV-1 drug resistance mutations were identified by two methods, including 126 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), 145 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and 19 protease inhibitors (PIs) resistance mutations. Out of them, 94.1% (273/290) were completely concordant between the AP in-house method and the ViroSeq system. Conclusion Overall, the evaluation of AP in-house method provided comparable results to those of the ViroSeq system on diversified HIV-1 subtypes in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug resistance mutation (DRM)-associated virological failure has become a critical issue for ART and the elimination of HIV. OBJECTIVES To investigate the distribution characteristics of DRMs of HIV CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC, the predominant subtypes in China. METHODS Patients receiving ART up to 31 August 2020 in Ganzhou in China were recruited. Full-length sequences of the HIV pol gene were amplified from patients with virological failure. DRMs and antiretroviral susceptibility were explored using the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database HIVdb Program. RESULTS Overall, 279 of 2204 patients under ART were found to have virological failure. Nine HIV subtypes were identified among 211 sequences that were amplified successfully and CRF08_BC (37.0%), CRF01_AE (26.1%) and CRF07_BC (25.6%) were the most prevalent, with mutation frequencies of 44.9% (35/78), 52.7% (29/55) and 35.2% (19/54), respectively. The most common DRMs of these three subtypes were K103N and M184V, while the mutation frequencies of M41L, D67N, K70R, K101E, V106M, Y181C, K219E, H221Y and N348I were obviously different among subtypes. The resistance levels and frequencies for antiretroviral drugs for these three subtypes were similar and resistances to nevirapine, efavirenz, lamivudine and emtricitabine were the most frequently observed. Compared with CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC, CRF08_BC had higher proportions of DRMs for NRTIs and lower frequencies of resistance to NRTIs and NNRTIs. CONCLUSIONS The distribution characteristics of DRMs of HIV CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC were inconsistent and should be considered when selecting antiretroviral strategies, developing new drugs and controlling HIV strains containing DRMs.
