HIV infection drives interferon signaling within intestinal SARS-CoV-2 target cells
Abstract: Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects epithelial cells of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract and causes related symptoms. HIV infection impairs gut homeostasis and is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 fatality. To investigate the potential link between these observations, we analysed single cell transcriptional profiles and SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor expression across lymphoid and mucosal human tissue from chronically HIV infected individuals and uninfected control…

“…Because of the widespread prevalence of EE in Zambia and a lack of existing screening methods to identify patients without EE, we could not obtain control biopsies from participants without EE in Zambia. Thus, as controls, we profiled samples from five adults recruited from a gastrointestinal unit in Durban, South Africa (two of which we profiled and three for which data were publicly available) ( 15 , 16 ), and two cohorts of patients in Boston, USA, where EE can safely be assumed not to occur (tables S1 and S2). We note that EE is often contextualized to health by either comparing intermediate EE with severe EE ( 17 ) or comparing patients with EE to control cohorts in the United States or the United Kingdom ( 6 ).…”

“…Examining the shifts in cell subset fractional abundances with HIV infection, we found known features of HIV biology including decreased fractional abundances of CD4 hi T cells and increased fractional abundances of γδ T cells highly expressing the HIV co-receptor CXCR4 (fig. S7, B and C) ( 15 ). In addition, within duodenal bulb samples, HIV pathology associated with increased fractional abundances of enterocytes highly expressing ANXA2 , FABP1 , and CD55 , suggesting that HIV pathology may contribute to the presence of this wound healing–like subset within the duodenal bulb (fig.…”

“…In the lung, T reg are promoted by alveolar macrophages, with a predominant M2 phenotype 37 . Given the common features evidenced, for example, in Mannar et al 38 and Fardoos et al 39 between SARS-CoV-2 and HIV-1, along with the fact that T cells are decreased in critical COVID-19 patients 40 , we suppose that, similarly to what happens for HIV-1 7 , 22 , 41 , depending on the concentration of some CKs, in presence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, T cells undergo chemoattraction (chemotaxis) or chemorepulsion (fugetaxis). We then assume that T cells are attracted towards infected T cells, but are repulsed by virions, allowing SARS-CoV-2 immune evasion.…”

“…This is determined by multiple host factors, including current and nadir CD4 count, the timing of ART initiation and current use of ART, the presence of comorbidities or co-infections, and individual variability of B-cell and T-cell responses to vaccines. The host response to COVID-19 in PWH further complicates this interaction, as type 1 interferon responses have been associated with severe COVID-19 [6], which may also be perturbed in chronic HIV infection [7].…”
