  1. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Drug Resistant HIV Compartmentalization Detected during Primary HIV-1 Infection by Ultra Deep Sequencing Arjet Gega1, Michael Kozal1, Jennifer Chiarella1, Evelyn Lee2, Julia Peterson2, Elizabeth St. John3, Birgitte Simen3, Richard W.

  2. Pilot Study Goals • Demonstrate feasibility of ultra deep sequencing (UDS) of HIV species derived from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) • Use UDS to investigate early CNS compartmentalization of HIV • Examine for low abundance transmitted drug resistant variants in early CNS-derived HIV

  3. Background • Prior methods (heteroduplex tracking assay, single genome amplification, Sanger sequencing) have shown compartmentalization of CSF-derived HIV RNA species • CNS compartmentalization of env strongly associated with HIV associated dementia in advanced disease • CSF compartmentalization detected in minority of subjects during primary infection • Recent studies suggest relevance of drug resistant HIV species in CSF for CNS disease in setting of cART • Presence of low abundance transmitted drug resistant variants in plasma predicts systemic virologic failure in setting of cART Ritola J Virology 2005; Schnell J Virology 2010, Canestri CID 2010, Bogoch J Infection 2011, Simen JID 2009

  14. Longitudinal Plasma and CSF HIV RNA Levels DRV/RTV/RAL TDF/FTC/RAL TDF/FTC/DRV/RTV

  15. Limitations • Pilot, ‘proof of concept’ study with 5 subjects only • Subjects with high CSF HIV RNA picked from cohort • 0.2% chosen as lowest detection level as >3x greater than PCR error rate: • Error occurring in early rounds of amplification may still affect results • Mutational load values only an estimate: • Calculated by multiplying the results from separate molecular assays using different primer sets • As sample HIV RNA level decreases, the ability to obtain a fully representative sample of HIV RNA templates declines: • Levels of mutations may represent the proportion of sequenced PCR amplicons containing the mutation vs. the actual proportion in the sample

  16. Conclusions • UDS of HIV from CSF samples was successful in 5 subjects with CSF HIV RNA > 3000 copies/ml. • Marked differences can exist between quasispecies in blood and CSF at a median < 4 months after HIV transmission. • Four patients had substantial differences in resistance mutations in plasma and CSF HIV variants which could potentially impact clinical response to cART. • Purely descriptive study; larger and longitudinal studies are needed to determine clinical significance.
