  3. Attachment Fusion Release of RNA Assembly Reverse transcription Integration Transcription Maturation and budding

  4. Characteristics of HIV-1 infection High virus replication rate (109-1010 virus particles / day) Rapid virus clearance (T½ cells producing virus: <1 day; T½ free virus in plasma: a few hrs) Virus latency (1:106 resting CD4 T cells) Chronic immune activation CD4 T-cell depletion (108-109 cells lost daily) Progressive immune deficient state Continuous virus genetic evolution Wong 1997; Chun 1997; Siliciano 2003; Strain 2003; Han 2007

  5. Mechanisms of HIV genetic evolution • RT-driven mutagenesis • Rate: ~1 wrong incorporation per genome round • All possible point mutations generated daily 2. APOBEC-driven mutagenesis • Deamination of cytosine residues in nascent DNA • GA hypermutation 3. Recombination • Rate: 7-30 per genome round • Hybrid virus progeny produced from different strains

  6. Dominant quasispecies Escape from pressure Preserved fitness • rapid turnover • rapid adaptation

  7. Consequences of HIV genetic variability • At the population level • Continuous emergence of new variants • At the patient level • Escape from immune pressure • Escape from drug pressure • Increased fitness and pathogenicity • Challenge for diagnostic and monitoring assays

  8. Emergence Evolution Single mutant Double mutant Triple mutant Emergence and evolution of resistance • Increasing number of mutations • Accumulation of mutations on the same viral genome • Initially reduced viral fitness • Compensatory changes restore fitness

  9. Key principles of resistance • Drug-resistant mutants are selected (not created) by drug pressure if virological suppression is incomplete • Ongoing virus replication under drug pressure leads to the evolutionof resistance and cross-resistance • Resistant mutants often display reduced fitness but compensatory changes emerge over time that partially restore virus fitness

  10. PCR Viral gene (e.g., RT) HIV RNA Plasma Mutations RT M184V Methionine  Valine @ codon 184 of RT ATG / AUG  GTG / GUG Sequencing

  11. PCR Viral gene (e.g., RT) HIV RNA Plasma Culture with escalating drug concentrations Fold-changes in IC50 relative to wild-type M184V = 100 FC for 3TC Infectious HIV Defective laboratory HIV vector (e.g., RT_)

  13. Low-frequency resistance in the FIRST study N=258 • Risk of failure of first-line NNRTI-based ART in patients with NNRTI resistance • Bulk resistance: HR 12.4 [3.4-45.1] • UDS resistance: HR 2.5 [1.2-5.4] USD = Ultra deep sequencing Siemen, JID 2009

  14. Resistant Wild-type Drug pressure Limit of detection 20-30%

  15. Key principles of resistance • Once drug pressure is removed, resistant mutants are outgrown by fitter wild-type virus and become undetectable by routine tests • Resistance test results obtained after therapy is discontinued are not reliable • Resistant mutants persist at low frequency in plasma and are “archived” in latently infected cells • Resistance is long-lasting • Resistance test results must be interpreted in the context of the patient’s treatment history

  17. Transmission Drug pressure Transmitted drug resistance Stable after transmission Gradual reversion over time, sometimes incomplete Persistence at low frequency in plasma Persistence in latently infected cells

  18. Key concepts Genetic barrierResidual activityHypersusceptibility

  19. Genetic barrier to resistance Resistant Wild-type Defined by: Number of mutations required to compromise activity Impact of each mutation on drug susceptibility Interactions between mutations Fitness cost of resistance Drug concentration

  28. Resistance as a continuum Lower cut-off = Level of resistance beyond which response begins to fall off Upper cut-off = Level of resistance beyond which clinical response is lost Zone of intermediate response Response Resistance

  29. How to calculate the GSS Genotypic Susceptibility Score • RT mutations: M41L T215Y K103N • Protease mutations: None • Regimen: TDF 3TC LPV/r • Resistance: Intermediate Susceptible Susceptible • Score: 0.5 1 1 • GSS ?

  31. P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P Mechanisms of NRTI resistance: Primer unblocking • T215Y-mediated resistance • Hydrolytic removal of the chain-terminating NRTI enables DNA synthesis to resume • The pyrophosphate donor in most cells is ATP • M184V antagonizes the process • 3TC partially restores susceptibility to ZDV,d4T and TDF in the presence of TAMs • 3TC antagonizes the emergence of TAMs Gotte, J Virol 2000

  32. Key principles of resistance • Resistance moves along a continuumand increasing numbers of mutations lead to progressive loss of responses • Residual activity is possible despite the presence of extensive resistance(best evidence for the NRTIs) • Resistance carries a fitness cost that reduces viral replication • Antagonistic effects between mutations can have beneficial effects

  33. Clinical implications for patients with treatment failure • The likelihood of drug-resistance depends upon the drug, the regimen and the level of adherence • When selecting a new regimen, aim for a GSS ≥2 • Avoid functional monotherapy with drugs that have a low genetic barrier • If options are limited, exploit residual activity and hypersusceptibility effects – continue the NRTIs rather than stopping therapy

  34. Advanced Virology Workshop Are you curious about what to do when a patient suddenly stops NNRTI-based ART? What “undetectable” viral load really means? How we can easily predict HIV-1 tropism? Thank you
