Loss of mucosal CD103+ DCs and IL-17+ and IL-22+ lymphocytes is associated with mucosal damage in SIV infection
N R Klatt et al. Mucosal Immunol. 2012 Nov.
Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) disease progression is associated with multifocal damage to the gastrointestinal tract epithelial barrier that correlates with microbial translocation and persistent pathological immune activation, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Investigating alterations in mucosal immunity during SIV infection, we found that damage to the colonic epithelial barrier was associated with loss of multiple lineages of interleukin (IL)-17-producing lymphocytes, cells that microarray analysis showed expressed genes important for enterocyte homeostasis, including IL-22. IL-22-producing lymphocytes were also lost after SIV infection. Potentially explaining coordinate loss of these distinct populations, we also observed loss of CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs) after SIV infection, which associated with the loss of IL-17- and IL-22-producing lymphocytes. CD103+ DCs expressed genes associated with promotion of IL-17/IL-22+ cells, and coculture of CD103+ DCs and naïve T cells led to increased IL17A and RORc expression in differentiating T cells. These results reveal complex interactions between mucosal immune cell subsets providing potential mechanistic insights into mechanisms of mucosal immune dysregulation during HIV/SIV infection, and offer hints for development of novel therapeutic strategies to address this aspect of AIDS virus pathogenesis.

Figure 1. Loss of IL-17-producing lymphocytes correlates with damage to the tight epithelial barrier of the colon
The frequency of IL-17-producing CD4+ T cells in (a) colon, and (b) MLNs, IL-17-producing CD8+ T cells in (c) colon, and (d) MLNs, and IL-17-producing CD3-CD8+ lymphocytes in (e) colon and (f) MLNs were compared to the extent of damage to the structural barrier of the colonic epithelium as measured by the breach (no claudin) to intact (claudin) ratio. Circles, SIV-; Triangles, SIV+. Diagonal lines represent linear regression.
Figure 2. IL-17-producing lymphocytes upregulate genes essential for mucosal homeostasis
(a) The top 200 genes based on P value for the greatest contrast between IL17+ and IL17− lymphocytes from MLNs of SIV-uninfected RM. The complete linkage method was used for hierarchical cluster analysis. Both rows and columns are clustered. Each row represents normalized expression value for a single gene, and each column represents a sample (data are based upon RNA extractions from IL17+ lymphocytes from 2 SIV-uninfected RM, left, and IL17− lymphocytes from 3 SIV-uninfected RM, right). (b) Fold change of selected genes that were up-regulated by IL-17+ lymphocytes (top) or IL-17− lymphocytes (bottom). P values donated above each gene fold change. (c-d) The network (c) and pathway (d) from IPA analysis for selected genes is shown. Red indicates up-regulation (fold change >= 1.5); green indicates down-regulation (fold change <= −1.5); grey indicates genes whose expression values are between −1.5 and 1.5. (c) Shape: triangle represents kinase; square represents cytokine; rectangle represents ligand-dependent nuclear receptor; diamond represents enzyme; trapezoid represents transporter; ellipse represents transcription regulator; circle represents others.

(e-f) The frequency of IL-22-producing CD4+ T cells (left), CD8+ T cells (center) and CD3-CD8+ lymphocytes (right) in (e) colon and (f) MLNs were compared to damage to the structural barrier of the colon as measured by the breach (no claudin) to intact (claudin) ratio. Closed circles, SIV− colon; closed triangles, SIV+ colon; open circles, SIV− MLNs; open triangles, SIV+ MLNs. Horizontal bars represent median, diagonal lines represent linear regression.

The complete linkage method was used for hierarchical cluster analysis. Both rows and columns are clustered. Each row represents normalized expression value for a single gene, and each column represents a sample (data are from MLS of 3 SIV-uninfected animals and CD103+CD11c− DCs are left and CD103-CD11c+ DCs are right).

Figure 6. CD103+ DCs directly promote IL17A and RORc expression by naïve CD4+ T cells
Naïve CD4+ T cells were co-cultured under Th17 conditions with stimulatory anti-CD3 beads alone (control), with CD103+ DCs, or with CD103− DCs in the presence of IL-6 (a, c) or absence of IL-6 (b, d). Gene expression for IL17A (a-b) and RORc (c-d) was measured by ΔΔCt compared to controls. Cells were sorted from live, SIV− rhesus macaque mesenteric lymph nodes. Rh1 and Rh2 designate the two rhesus macaques used for this experiment.
