Abstract
The pig is emerging as a physiologically relevant biomedical large animal model. Delineating the functional roles of porcine adaptive T-lymphocyte subsets in health and disease is of critical significance, which facilitates mechanistic understanding of antigen-specific immune memory responses. We identified a novel T-helper/memory lymphocyte subset in pigs and performed phenotypic and functional characterization of these cells under steady state and following vaccination and infection with swine influenza A virus (SwIAV). A novel subset of CD3+CD4lowCD8α+CD8β+ memory T-helper cells was identified in the blood of healthy adult pigs under homeostatic conditions. To understand the possible functional role/s of these cells, we characterized the antigen-specific T cell memory responses by multi-color flow cytometry in pigs vaccinated with a whole inactivated SwIAV vaccine, formulated with a phytoglycogen nanoparticle/STING agonist (ADU-S100) adjuvant (NanoS100-SwIAV). As a control, a commercial SwIAV vaccine was included in a heterologous challenge infection trial. The frequencies of antigen-specific IL-17A and IFNγ secreting CD3+CD4lowCD8α+CD8β+ memory T-helper cells were significantly increased in the lung draining tracheobronchial lymph nodes (TBLN) of intradermal, intramuscular and intranasal inoculated NanoS100-SwIAV vaccine and commercial vaccine administered animals. While the frequencies of antigen-specific, IFNγ secreting CD3+CD4lowCD8α+CD8β+ memory T-helper cells were significantly enhanced in the blood of intranasal and intramuscular vaccinates. These observations suggest that the CD3+CD4lowCD8α+CD8β+ T-helper/memory cells in pigs may have a protective and/or regulatory role/s in immune responses against SwIAV infection. These observations highlight the heterogeneity and plasticity of porcine CD4+ T-helper/memory cells in response to respiratory viral infection in pigs. Comprehensive systems immunology studies are needed to further decipher the cellular lineages and functional role/s of this porcine T helper/memory cell subset.

Abstract
Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) are lentiviruses that reverse transcribe their RNA genome with subsequent integration into the genome of the target cell. How progressive infection and administration of antiretrovirals (ARVs) longitudinally influence the transcriptomic and epigenetic landscape of particular T cell subsets, and how these may influence the genetic location of integration are unclear. Here, we use RNAseq and ATACseq to study the transcriptomics and epigenetic landscape of longitudinally sampled naïve and memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in two species of non-human primates prior to SIV infection, during chronic SIV infection, and after administration of ARVs. We find that SIV infection leads to significant alteration to the transcriptomic profile of all T cell subsets that are only partially reversed by administration of ARVs. Epigenetic changes were more apparent in animals with longer periods of untreated SIV infection and correlated well with changes in corresponding gene expression. Known SIV integration sites did not vary due to SIV status but did contain more open chromatin in rhesus macaque memory T cells, and the expression of proteasome-related genes at the pre-SIV timepoint correlated with subsequent viremia.IMPORTANCEChronic inflammation during progressive human and simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV and SIV) infections leads to significant co-morbidities in infected individuals with significant consequences. Antiretroviral (ARV)-treated individuals also manifest increased levels of inflammation which are associated with increased mortalities. These data will help guide rational development of modalities to reduce inflammation observed in people living with HIV and suggest mechanisms underlying lentiviral integration site preferences.

Ongoing production of tissue-resident macrophages from hematopoietic stem cells in healthy adult macaques. Blood Adv 2024; 8:523-537. [PMID: 38048388 PMCID: PMC10835270 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2023011499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/06/2023] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT Macrophages orchestrate tissue immunity from the initiation and resolution of antimicrobial immune responses to the repair of damaged tissue. Murine studies demonstrate that tissue-resident macrophages are a heterogenous mixture of yolk sac-derived cells that populate the tissue before birth, and bone marrow-derived replacements recruited in adult tissues at steady-state and in increased numbers in response to tissue damage or infection. How this translates to species that are constantly under immunologic challenge, such as humans, is unknown. To understand the ontogeny and longevity of tissue-resident macrophages in nonhuman primates (NHPs), we use a model of autologous hematopoietic stem progenitor cell (HSPC) transplantation with HSPCs genetically modified to be marked with clonal barcodes, allowing for subsequent analysis of clonal ontogeny. We study the contribution of HSPCs to tissue macrophages, their clonotypic profiles relative to leukocyte subsets in the peripheral blood, and their transcriptomic and epigenetic landscapes. We find that HSPCs contribute to tissue-resident macrophage populations in all anatomic sites studied. Macrophage clonotypic profiles are dynamic and overlap significantly with the clonal hierarchy of contemporaneous peripheral blood monocytes. Epigenetic and transcriptomic landscapes of HSPC-derived macrophages are similar to tissue macrophages isolated from NHPs that did not undergo transplantation. We also use in vivo bromodeoxyuridine infusions to monitor tissue macrophage turnover in NHPs that did not undergo transplantation and find evidence for macrophage turnover at steady state. These data demonstrate that the life span of most tissue-resident macrophages is limited and can be replenished continuously from HSPCs.

Abstract
HIV emerged following cross-species transmissions of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) that naturally infect non-human primates (NHPs) from Africa. While HIV replication and CD4+ T-cell depletion lead to increased gut permeability, microbial translocation, chronic immune activation, and systemic inflammation, the natural hosts of SIVs generally avoid these deleterious consequences when infected with their species-specific SIVs and do not progress to AIDS despite persistent lifelong high viremia due to long-term coevolution with their SIV pathogens. The benign course of natural SIV infection in the natural hosts is in stark contrast to the experimental SIV infection of Asian macaques, which progresses to simian AIDS. The mechanisms of non-pathogenic SIV infections are studied mainly in African green monkeys, sooty mangabeys, and mandrills, while progressing SIV infection is experimentally modeled in macaques: rhesus macaques, pigtailed macaques, and cynomolgus macaques. Here, we focus on the distinctive features of SIV infection in natural hosts, particularly (1): the superior healing properties of the intestinal mucosa, which enable them to maintain the integrity of the gut barrier and prevent microbial translocation, thus avoiding excessive/pathologic immune activation and inflammation usually perpetrated by the leaking of the microbial products into the circulation; (2) the gut microbiome, the disruption of which is an important factor in some inflammatory diseases, yet not completely understood in the course of lentiviral infection; (3) cell population shifts resulting in target cell restriction (downregulation of CD4 or CCR5 surface molecules that bind to SIV), control of viral replication in the lymph nodes (expansion of natural killer cells), and anti-inflammatory effects in the gut (NKG2a/c+ CD8+ T cells); and (4) the genes and biological pathways that can shape genetic adaptations to viral pathogens and are associated with the non-pathogenic outcome of the natural SIV infection. Deciphering the protective mechanisms against SIV disease progression to immunodeficiency, which have been established through long-term coevolution between the natural hosts and their species-specific SIVs, may prompt the development of novel therapeutic interventions, such as drugs that can control gut inflammation, enhance gut healing capacities, or modulate the gut microbiome. These developments can go beyond HIV infection and open up large avenues for correcting gut damage, which is common in many diseases.
