- W3213515053 abstract "ABSTRACT Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection of microglial cells in the brain leads to chronic neuroinflammation, which is antecedent to the development of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) in the majority of patients. Productively HIV infected microglia release multiple neurotoxins including proinflammatory cytokines and HIV proteins such as envelope glycoprotein (gp120) and transactivator of transcription (Tat). However, powerful counteracting silencing mechanisms in microglial cells result in the rapid shutdown of HIV expression to limit neuronal damage. Here we investigated whether the Nerve Growth Factor IB-like nuclear receptor Nurr1 (NR4A2), which is a repressor of inflammation in the brain, acts to directly restrict HIV expression. HIV silencing was substantially enhanced by Nurr1 agonists in both immortalized human microglial cells (hµglia) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived human microglial cells (iMG). Overexpression of Nurr1 led to viral suppression, whereas by contrast, knock down (KD) of endogenous Nurr1 blocked HIV silencing. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays showed that Nurr1 mediates recruitment of the CoREST/HDAC1/G9a/EZH2 transcription repressor complex to HIV promoter resulting in epigenetic silencing of active HIV. Transcriptomic studies demonstrated that in addition to repressing HIV transcription, Nurr1 also downregulated numerous cellular genes involved in inflammation, cell cycle, and metabolism, thus promoting HIV latency and microglial homoeostasis. Thus, Nurr1 plays a pivotal role in modulating the cycles of proviral reactivation by cytokines and potentiating the proviral transcriptional shutdown. These data highlight the therapeutic potential of Nurr1 agonists for inducing HIV silencing and microglial homeostasis and amelioration of the neuroinflammation associated with HAND. AUTHOR SUMMARY HIV enters the brain almost immediately after infection where it infects perivascular macrophages, microglia and, to a less extent, astrocytes. In previous work using an immortalized human microglial cell model, we observed that integrated HIV constantly underwent cycles of reactivation and subsequent silencing. In the present study, we found that the Nurr1 nuclear receptor is a key mediator of HIV silencing. The functional activation of Nurr1 by specific agonists, or the over expression of Nurr1, resulted in rapid silencing of activated HIV in microglial cells. Global gene expression analysis confirmed that Nurr1 not only repressed HIV expression but also regulated numerous genes involved in microglial homeostasis and inflammation. Thus, Nurr1 is pivotal for HIV silencing and repression of inflammation in the brain and is a promising therapeutic target for treatment of HAND." @default.
