Abstrakt: Background: CD8 + T cells equipped with a full arsenal of antiviral effector functions are critical for effective immune control of HIV-1. It has nonetheless remained unclear how best to elicit such potent cellular immune responses in the context of immunotherapy or vaccination. HIV-2 has been associated with milder disease manifestations and more commonly elicits functionally replete virus-specific CD8 + T cell responses compared with HIV-1. We aimed to learn from this immunological dichotomy and to develop informed strategies that could enhance the induction of robust CD8 + T cell responses against HIV-1.
Methods: We developed an unbiased in vitro system to compare the de novo induction of antigen-specific CD8 + T cell responses after exposure to HIV-1 or HIV-2. The functional properties of primed CD8 + T cells were assessed using flow cytometry and molecular analyses of gene transcription.
Findings: HIV-2 primed functionally optimal antigen-specific CD8 + T cells with enhanced survival properties more effectively than HIV-1. This superior induction process was dependent on type I interferons (IFNs) and could be mimicked via the adjuvant delivery of cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), a known agonist of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING). CD8 + T cells elicited in the presence of cGAMP were polyfunctional and highly sensitive to antigen stimulation, even after priming from people living with HIV-1.
Interpretation: HIV-2 primes CD8 + T cells with potent antiviral functionality by activating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/STING pathway, which results in the production of type I IFNs. This process may be amenable to therapeutic development via the use of cGAMP or other STING agonists to bolster CD8 + T cell-mediated immunity against HIV-1.
