Abstract:
:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat binds the viral RNA structure transactivation-responsive element (TAR) and recruits transcriptional cofactors, amplifying viral mRNA expression. The Tat inhibitor didehydro-cortistatin A (dCA) promotes a state of persistent latency, refractory to viral reactivation. Here we investigated mechanisms of HIV-1 resistance to dCA in vitro Mutations in Tat and TAR were not identified, consistent with the high level of conservation of these elements. Instead, viruses resistant to dCA developed higher Tat-independent basal transcription. We identified a combination of mutations in the HIV-1 promoter that increased basal transcriptional activity and modifications in viral Nef and Vpr proteins that increased NF-κB activity. Importantly, these variants are unlikely to enter latency due to accrued transcriptional fitness and loss of sensitivity to Tat feedback loop regulation. Furthermore, cells infected with these variants become more susceptible to cytopathic effects and immune-mediated clearance. This is the first report of viral escape to a Tat inhibitor resulting in heightened Tat-independent activity, all while maintaining wild-type Tat and TAR.IMPORTANCE HIV-1 Tat enhances viral RNA transcription by binding to TAR and recruiting activating factors. Tat enhances its own transcription via a positive-feedback loop. Didehydro-cortistatin A (dCA) is a potent Tat inhibitor, reducing HIV-1 transcription and preventing viral rebound. dCA activity demonstrates the potential of the "block-and-lock" functional cure approaches. We investigated the viral genetic barrier to dCA resistance in vitro While mutations in Tat and TAR were not identified, mutations in the promoter and in the Nef and Vpr proteins promoted high Tat-independent activity. Promoter mutations increased the basal transcription, while Nef and Vpr mutations increased NF-κB nuclear translocation. This heightened transcriptional activity renders CD4+ T cells infected with these viruses more susceptible to cytotoxic T cell-mediated killing and to cell death by cytopathic effects. Results provide insights on drug resistance to a novel class of antiretrovirals and reveal novel aspects of viral transcriptional regulation.
