Abstract
Disruption of gastrointestinal tract epithelial and immune barriers contribute to microbial translocation, systemic inflammation, and progression of HIV-1 infection. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) may lead to reconstitution of CD4+ T cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), but its impact on humoral immunity within GALT is unclear. Therefore, we studied CD4+ subsets, including T follicular helper cells (Tfh), as well as resident B cells that have switched to IgA production, in gut biopsies, from HIV+ subjects on suppressive ART compared to HIV-negative controls (HNC).
Twenty-three HIV+ subjects on ART and 22 HNC undergoing colonoscopy were recruited to the study. Single-cell suspensions were prepared from biopsies from left colon (LC), right colon (RC), and terminal ileum (TI). T and B lymphocyte subsets, as well as EpCAM+ epithelial cells, were accurately enumerated by flow cytometry, using counting beads.
No significant differences in the number of recovered epithelial cells were observed between the two subject groups. However, the median TI CD4+ T cell count/106 epithelial cells was 2.4-fold lower in HIV+ subjects versus HNC (19,679 versus 47,504 cells;
While there were lower absolute CD4+ counts in the TI and LC in HIV+ subjects on ART, they were not associated with significantly reduced Tfh cell counts or IgA+ B cells, suggesting that this important vanguard of adaptive immune defense against luminal microbial products is normalized following ART.

(<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>, <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>)]. GALT is widely believed to contain the majority of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in the body, and PHI is believed to result in massive depletion of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in the lamina propria (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>–<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>), compared to the slower decline of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell counts in blood (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>–<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>). In particular, the chronic T cell activation that is characteristic of untreated CHI may be due to damage to the epithelial barrier in GALT, leading to systemic translocation of microbial products into lymphoid tissues (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>, <xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>–<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>), which in turn may lead to further systemic activation of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells and their continued depletion.</p><p>Potent antiretroviral therapy (ART), even when fully suppressive for years, may not necessarily lead to full restoration of normal numbers of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in GALT (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>–<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>), and even commencing ART during PHI may not completely restore CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in GALT (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>), unless subjects are treated during the very earliest stages of infection (<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>). This dysregulation of GALT may also lead to its role as a continuing reservoir for HIV-1 replication, despite ART (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>, <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>).</p><p>Most studies of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell depletion in GALT during HIV infection have particularly looked at a deficit in Th17 cells, since these are believed to contribute to epithelial cell barrier integrity (<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>, <xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>, <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>). It has been reported that a large majority of CD4<sup>+</sup> T lymphocytes in human GALT express CCR5 (<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>, <xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>) and that many of these cells are highly activated (<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>), making this sub-population of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells highly susceptible to HIV-1 infection and depletion. Furthermore, it has been reported that T regulatory cells (Tregs) are significantly increased in tonsil tissue during HIV-1 infection (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>) and also in GALT during untreated, but not treated, HIV-1 infection (<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>). Altogether, it is believed that normal CD4 T cell functions in GALT are significantly compromised in HIV-1 infection and may not be completely normalized by ART.</p><p>However, prior to reaching the epithelial cells, gut microbes must first penetrate the mucous layer in the lumen, and the front-line adaptive immune defense in this layer is IgA, produced locally and secreted into the lumen (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>, <xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>). This IgA production in turn is largely dependent on CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell help, mediated by T follicular helper (Tfh) cells in local germinal centers (GCs) (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>).</p><p>Since large-scale depletion of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells has been reported in GALT, it is probable that Tfh are also depleted, and in fact, it has been reported that GCs in GALT have abnormally high levels of apoptosis during PHI (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>) and GC may not normalize after ART (<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>). Furthermore, murine studies have suggested that gut Tfh develop from Th17 precursors (<xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>), and Th17 cells are reportedly also lost very early in HIV-1 infection (<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>). We, and others, have recently found that Tfh cells in GCs, peripheral lymph nodes, and spleen are highly infected in both SIV and HIV infections (<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>–<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>). Taken together, we hypothesized that Tfh, along with other CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell subsets in GALT, would be depleted early in HIV-1 infection and may not be fully reconstituted during ART, which would in turn lead to a deficit of IgA<sup>+</sup> B cells, further compromising the integrity of the epithelial barrier.</p><p>We aimed to identify and quantify the Tfh subset of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, in gut biopsies from subjects on fully suppressive ART and also IgA<sup>+</sup> B cells present in the same samples. At the same time, in comparison to the effect on Tfh, we also studied the effect of treated HIV-1 infection on other key subsets of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, including CCR5<sup>+</sup> memory CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, CD127<sup>+</sup> long-term memory cells, CD103<sup>+</sup> tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cells, CD161<sup>+</sup> cells, which is a surrogate cell surface maker for Th17 cells in human GALT (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>), and CD25<sup>+</sup>CD127<sup>dim</sup> Tregs.</p><p>In addition to studying T lymphocyte subsets, we employed polychromatic flow cytometry to enumerate epithelial cells in the same single cell suspensions, using the cell surface marker EpCAM (CD326) (<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>). It has recently been suggested that proliferation of gut epithelial cells is increased in CHI (<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>). In order to measure proliferating cells we measured Ki-67 expression in EpCAM<sup>+</sup> cells by flow cytometry.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="S2"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec id="S2-1"><title>Subjects and Biopsy Collection</title><p>Twenty-two HIV-uninfected healthy adult volunteers and 23 HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects on fully suppressive ART underwent colonoscopy to provide biopsy specimens, through the endoscopy unit at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney.

We found no significant difference in the proportion of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells that were CCR5<sup>+</sup> between HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects and HNC (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>B), suggesting that there was no selective depletion of the CCR5<sup>+</sup> subset, and this did not account for the difference in CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell counts.</p><fig id="F4" position="float"><label>Figure 4</label><caption><p><bold>(A)</bold> Indirect immunofluorescence to measure CCR5<sup>+</sup>CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells.

Here, we found that only a very small minority of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in LC biopsies were CD103<sup>+</sup>, but a larger proportion, around 20% of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, were CD103<sup>+</sup> in TI biopsies (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>B). However, again, we found no significant differences in CD103<sup>+</sup>CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells between biopsies from HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects and HNC (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>B). The proportion of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells that were CD103<sup>+</sup> was much higher than for CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, with 50% or more of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells expressing CD103 in both LC and TI biopsies (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>B).</p><p>It has been reported that Th17 CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells are selectively reduced in GALT during HIV infection (<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>, <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>) and that this depletion may not be reversed by ART (<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>, <xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>). Therefore, we studied the relative proportions of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells that expressed CD161, which includes Th17 cells in human GALT (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>). However, the results show that there was no significant selective depletion of CD161<sup>+</sup>CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in gut biopsy samples from HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects, with similar percentages compared to HNC (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>C).</p><p>Finally, we also used the CD25<sup>+</sup>CD127<sup>dim</sup> phenotype to identify Tregs (<xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>), although CD25 expression was not always as distinct in the gut biopsy preparations compared to that typically found on Tregs in peripheral blood (Figure <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SM3">S3</xref> in Supplementary Material). Overall, we found a slight increase in the proportion of Tregs in CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in both LC and TI biopsies from HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects, compared to HNC (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>D). Interestingly, the proportion of memory CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells that were Tregs in TI biopsies from HNC was quite low compared to blood (<xref rid="B43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>, <xref rid="B49" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>), but even with the elevation seen in HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects, Tregs remained quite a minor subset of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in TI biopsies.</p></sec></sec></sec><sec sec-type="discussion" id="S4"><title>Discussion</title><p>In this study, we aimed to quantify the level of depletion of important subsets of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in GALT biopsies from ART-treated HIV-1-infected subjects, compared to HNC, by accurate counting of single cell suspensions using polychromatic flow cytometry.</p><p>We used a novel approach of EpCAM staining of epithelial cells versus CD45<sup>+</sup> staining of lymphocytes, to optimize detection of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells and minimize cell loss during processing. The total numbers of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells present in the gut biopsies from the HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects on ART were at about half the normal level in TI and LC but with no significant difference in RC. There have been differing reports on whether CD4<sup>+</sup> T lymphocytes are fully reconstituted in GALT following ART (<xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>). Our results suggest that this may depend on which site has been studied, consistent with a recent report comparing different sites of GALT biopsies (<xref rid="B51" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>). In a limited number of subjects who commenced ART during PHI, there was no clear difference in CD4 T cell counts compared to the remainder of the cohort studied, who commenced ART during CHI.</p><p>Previous studies have mainly used histological enumeration of CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in the context of HIV infection, and most previous studies have reported depletion of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells as a percentage of CD3<sup>+</sup> lymphocytes (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>). We measured the absolute numbers of cells and found a decrease in the CD4:CD8 ratio, consistent with previous results (<xref rid="B51" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>).</p><p>One of the main aims of this study was to assess eventual changes in the number of Tfh cells in GALT in patients with HIV infection on ART. This is the first study to comprehensively study the Tfh subset of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells and the IgA<sup>+</sup> B cell subset in human gut biopsies during HIV-1 infection. We and others have recently shown dysregulation of Tfh numbers in peripheral lymph nodes and spleen, during either SIV or HIV infections (<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>–<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>), including evidence of infection of Tfh (<xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>–<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>, <xref rid="B52" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>). In all these reports, the proportion of Tfh increased, rather than decreased, compared to other memory CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in lymphoid tissue. Nevertheless, based on the descriptions of very extensive CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell depletion in GALT during primary infection, and also dysfunction of GCs (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>), we hypothesized that Tfh were irreversibly lost. However, in treated HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects, the numbers of Tfh cells in gut biopsies were within the observed normal range.</p><p>Consistent with this normal number of Tfh cells, we also found that the number of IgA<sup>+</sup> B cells was within the normal range in HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects on ART. The local production of IgA is believed to be one of the main defense mechanisms within the GI tract, yet there have been few studies of the effect of HIV-1 infection on IgA<sup>+</sup> B cells in GALT. In the study that suggested that GC formation was dramatically affected by PHI (<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>), longitudinal studies following ART were not performed. One other study also reported a finding of hyperactivity of B cells in GALT during late stage infection, using immunohistochemistry (<xref rid="B53" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>), similar to that which has been found in peripheral lymph nodes, and that the hyperactivity was rectified by ART. This normalization even when therapy is commenced in late-stage disease is consistent with our current findings on numbers of IgA<sup>+</sup> B cells by flow cytometry. Furthermore, the close correlation between Tfh cell counts and IgA<sup>+</sup> B cell counts is consistent with a very close functional relationship, normalized in HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects on ART. Further studies should confirm whether luminal concentrations of IgA are also within the normal range.</p><p>One limitation of the current study is that we do not have Tfh or IgA<sup>+</sup> B cell counts during PHI, prior to commencing therapy, and therefore, we cannot determine whether these cells were preserved or restored. Nevertheless, the observed numbers of Tfh cells and the IgA<sup>+</sup> B cells in GALT after ART suggest that irreversible disruption of the homeostasis of the microbiome and subsequent microbial translocation after ART may not be as severe as currently believed. Previous results, based on immunohistochemistry of biopsies, had suggested disruptions to the epithelial barrier [reviewed in Ref. (<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>)], with a recent report of excessive proliferation and apoptosis of epithelial cells in CHI (<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>). We found no difference in the number of epithelial cells between controls and HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects, and we have been unable to find significant disruption of the epithelial barrier using the technique of <italic>in vivo</italic> confocal endomicroscopy (<xref rid="B54" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>).</p><p>The main cause of the massive depletion of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells from GALT during primary HIV or SIV infection is believed to be high expression of CCR5 on CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, as well as activation due to the presence of microbial products (<xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>). However, using an optimized method for staining for CCR5, we found that typically less than half of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in the gut biopsy samples were CCR5<sup>+</sup> in healthy adult controls, and only a few of these cells expressed markers of activation. We can exclude an effect of enzymatic digestion during the single cell preparation on the detection of either CCR5 or activation markers, since nearly all CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells were positive for CCR5 in the same preparations, and CD38 and HLA-DR were both present on B cells as expected (data not shown). One previous study showing high levels of CCR5 expression was based on CD45<sup>+</sup> mononuclear cells and did not distinguish between CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells (<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>). In that study, a high proportion of CCR5<sup>+</sup> CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells may therefore have masked a lower proportion on CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells.</p><p>Also, we know from studies of circulating CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells that there is an elevation of CCR5<sup>+</sup> activated CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells during PHI (<xref rid="B55" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>, <xref rid="B56" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>), as well as following vaccinia inoculation (<xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>), and this is consistent with elevated expression of CCR5 on CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in GALT once PHI is established (<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>). Nevertheless, it is believed that under usual steady-state conditions, GALT is normally more anti-inflammatory than proinflammatory (<xref rid="B57" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>, <xref rid="B58" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>). Furthermore, it is probable that the majority of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in GALT recirculate, based on their low level of expression of CD103 reported in this study, and on mathematical modeling of CD4<sup>+</sup> perturbations after large-scale apheresis (<xref rid="B59" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>). Conversely, parabiosis experiments in mice demonstrate a slow and incomplete equilibration of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells between blood and GALT (<xref rid="B60" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>), consistent with our finding of higher expression of CD103 on CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells. Therefore, taken altogether, it seems unlikely that healthy adults have a preponderance of pre-existing, activated, and resident CCR5<sup>+</sup>CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in the GALT, prior to HIV-1 infection.</p><p>In our assessments of subsets of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, we found no proportional differences in CD103<sup>+</sup>CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, believed to represent intraepithelial/tissue-resident cells (<xref rid="B48" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>). Although it has been suggested that preparations of cell suspensions for flow cytometry give a different result for tissue-resident T cells compared to histology (<xref rid="B61" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>), this was described in lung tissue and was mainly due to circulating cells within microvasculature in the lung tissue. Our gut biopsy samples were neither significantly contaminated with blood, as indicated by lack of neutrophils and NK cells, nor did they contain visible red cells (data not shown). We rigorously and accurately defined CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells using polychromatic flow cytometric techniques, excluding possible non-specific staining due to non-lymphoid cells, B cells, or myeloid cells.</p><p>Finally, previous studies of subsets of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells in gut biopsies during HIV infection have concentrated on the Th17 subset of CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, since it is believed they are essential to maintenance of the epithelial cell barrier (<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>), but we did not find any significant selective effect on CD161<sup>+</sup>CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, which are known to include Th17 cells in gut (<xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>). Also, we found only a slight increase in the proportion of Treg cells, which is consistent with our previous results that the majority of Tregs in blood do not express the gut-homing integrins α4 and β7 (<xref rid="B62" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>).</p><p>In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that, consistent with previous reports (<xref rid="B50" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>), ART-treated HIV<sup>+</sup> subjects may not completely normalize their total CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell populations in GALT, but their important Tfh/GC/IgA axis of immunity is relatively normal.</p></sec><sec id="S5"><title>Author Contributions</title><p>JZ, MB, GM, KM, NS, and YX performed experiments.
