Abstract

Objectives

Use of ART containing HIV PIs has previously been associated with toxicity in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), potentially contributing to the development of lipodystrophy and insulin resistance. However, the effect of PIs on SAT function in ART-naive patients independent of other ART classes is unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of initiating PI-only ART on SAT function in ART-naive subjects.

Methods

In the HIVNAT-019 study, 48 HIV-infected, ART-naive Thai adults commencing PI-only ART comprising lopinavir/ritonavir/saquinavir for 24 weeks underwent assessments of fasting metabolic parameters and body composition. In a molecular substudy, 20 subjects underwent SAT biopsies at weeks 0, 2 and 24 for transcriptional, protein, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and histological analyses. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00400738.

Results

Over 24 weeks, limb fat increased (+416.4 g, P = 0.023), coinciding with larger adipocytes as indicated by decreased adipocyte density in biopsies (−32.3 cells/mm2, P = 0.047) and increased mRNA expression of adipogenesis regulator PPARG at week 2 (+58.1%, P = 0.003). Increases in mtDNA over 24 weeks (+600 copies/cell, P = 0.041), decreased NRF1 mRNA expression at week 2 (−33.7%, P < 0.001) and increased COX2/COX4 protein ratio at week 24 (+288%, P = 0.038) indicated improved mitochondrial function. Despite decreased AKT2 mRNA at week 2 (−28.6%, P = 0.002) and increased PTPN1 mRNA at week 24 (+50.3%, P = 0.016) suggesting insulin resistance, clinical insulin sensitivity [by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR)] was unchanged.

Conclusions

Initiation of PI-only ART showed little evidence of SAT toxicity, the changes observed being consistent with a return to health rather than contributing to lipodystrophy.

<title>Objectives</title>
<p>Use of ART containing HIV PIs has previously been associated with toxicity in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), potentially contributing to the development of lipodystrophy and insulin resistance. However, the effect of PIs on SAT function in ART-naive patients independent of other ART classes is unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of initiating PI-only ART on SAT function in ART-naive subjects.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Methods</title>
<p>In the HIVNAT-019 study, 48 HIV-infected, ART-naive Thai adults commencing PI-only ART comprising lopinavir/ritonavir/saquinavir for 24 weeks underwent assessments of fasting metabolic parameters and body composition. In a molecular substudy, 20 subjects underwent SAT biopsies at weeks 0, 2 and 24 for transcriptional, protein, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and histological analyses. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00400738.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Results</title>
<p>Over 24 weeks, limb fat increased (+416.4 g,
<italic>P </italic>
= 0.023), coinciding with larger adipocytes as indicated by decreased adipocyte density in biopsies (−32.3 cells/mm
<sup>2</sup>
,
<italic>P </italic>
= 0.047) and increased mRNA expression of adipogenesis regulator
<italic>PPARG</italic>
at week 2 (+58.1%,
<italic>P </italic>
= 0.003). Increases in mtDNA over 24 weeks (+600 copies/cell,
<italic>P </italic>
= 0.041), decreased
<italic>NRF1</italic>
mRNA expression at week 2 (−33.7%,
<italic>P </italic>
< 0.001) and increased COX2/COX4 protein ratio at week 24 (+288%,
<italic>P </italic>
= 0.038) indicated improved mitochondrial function. Despite decreased
<italic>AKT2</italic>
mRNA at week 2 (−28.6%,
<italic>P </italic>
= 0.002) and increased
<italic>PTPN1</italic>
mRNA at week 24 (+50.3%,
<italic>P </italic>
= 0.016) suggesting insulin resistance, clinical insulin sensitivity [by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR)] was unchanged.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Conclusions</title>
<p>Initiation of PI-only ART showed little evidence of SAT toxicity, the changes observed being consistent with a return to health rather than contributing to lipodystrophy.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Metabolic comorbidities including lipodystrophy, insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia are prevalent amongst people living with HIV (PLWH),
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
</sup>
and not only affect adherence to therapy but also contribute to cardiovascular disease risk, a leading cause of death in treated PLWH.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
</sup>
These conditions are in part caused by subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) toxicity due to HIV infection and exposure to certain classes of ART.</p>
<p>Although toxicity in SAT has been demonstrated in untreated HIV infection,
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
,
<xref rid="DKW301C4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
</sup>
the development of clinical lipodystrophy (peripheral lipoatrophy, central lipohypertrophy, dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance) is associated with ART exposure,
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
</sup>
and once established is not fully reversible.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
</sup>
Lipodystrophy was first attributed to HIV PIs;
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
</sup>
however, subsequent studies demonstrated that treatment with thymidine analogue NRTIs (tNRTIs) is the main factor,
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
</sup>
primarily via initiation of SAT mitochondrial toxicity.

However, the concurrent use of tNRTIs, as well as the established lipodystrophy, in many of the subjects makes it difficult to determine the specific effects of PIs in these studies.</p>
<p>As no study to date has explored the effects of PI therapy in the absence of other ART classes on SAT function, we aimed to elucidate the effect of initiating PI-only ART through a comprehensive prospective analysis measuring clinical metabolic parameters in parallel with histological and molecular assessments of adipogenic, lipid metabolism, insulin signalling and mitochondrial function pathways in the SAT of ART-naive subjects.</p>

<p>A molecular substudy was performed within the HIVNAT-019 trial, an open-label, randomized trial examining the virological efficacy and pharmacodynamics of four different dosing schedules of PI-only ART containing lopinavir boosted with ritonavir co-administered with saquinavir in ART-naive, HIV-1-infected subjects over 24 weeks. Dosing schedules comprised 400/100 mg of lopinavir/ritonavir with 1000 mg of saquinavir twice daily; 400/100 mg of lopinavir/ritonavir with 400 mg of saquinavir twice daily; 266/66 mg of lopinavir/ritonavir with 1000 mg of saquinavir twice daily; and 266/66 mg of lopinavir/ritonavir with 400 mg of saquinavir twice daily. Eligible adult (>18 years), HIV-1 antibody-positive and ART-naive subjects were recruited from the Thai Red Cross Society's Anonymous Clinic and the HIV Outpatient Immune Clinic of King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>This is the first study (to our knowledge) to explore the
<italic>in vivo</italic>
effect of PI-only ART initiation on adipose tissue composition and function independently of other ART classes. Our findings suggest improved SAT function as reflected by increases in adipocyte size and molecular changes consistent with improvements in lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function and inflammation with PI-only ART initiation. Such changes indicate a return to health associated with the suppression of HIV replication and do not support the introduction of new toxicity with PI exposure. The use of focused transcriptional profiling, mtDNA, histological and protein analyses in parallel with the assessment of clinical metabolic parameters and body composition allowed a detailed evaluation of the metabolic effects of initiating PI-only ART. Using this approach, adipose tissue toxicity indicative of the development of lipodystrophy was not detected thus challenging the conventional view that PIs cause adipose tissue toxicity.</p>
<p>While the role of tNRTI in the development of SAT toxicity is well established,
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
,
<xref rid="DKW301C32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>

PIs have also historically been implicated,
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
</sup>
with the primary mechanism proposed being the inhibition of
<italic>PPARG</italic>
,
<italic>CEBPA</italic>
and
<italic>SREBF1</italic>
activity resulting in impaired adipogenesis.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
,
<xref rid="DKW301C11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
</sup>
However, in the current study, initiation of PI-only ART did not lead to either the clinical changes suggestive of lipoatrophy or reductions in expression of these key regulators at either the mRNA or protein level in SAT (Figure 
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="DKW301F1">1</xref>
a and Figure 
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="DKW301F3">3</xref>
a and b). In fact, expression of
<italic>PPARG</italic>
and its downstream targets,
<italic>FABP4</italic>
and
<italic>LPL</italic>
, increased (Figure 
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="DKW301F1">1</xref>
a), suggesting an increase from diminished baseline levels in untreated HIV infection.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,
<xref rid="DKW301C34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
</sup>
Moreover, the observed increases in adipocyte size and decreases in the expression of the triglyceride lipase
<italic>LIPE</italic>
are indicative of increased adipocyte lipid uptake and storage, events that are consistent with increased PPARG activity.</p>
<p>Although our findings contrast with previous clinical studies,
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
,
<xref rid="DKW301C18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
</sup>
subjects in these studies had previous and concomitant exposure to tNRTI, thereby limiting the ability to determine the relative contribution of PI to the observed toxicities. Furthermore, our results are consistent with a recent study comparing two ART combinations (neither of which contained tNRTI) in which SAT adipogenic gene expression increased in subjects initiating PI-containing ART but not with non-PI ART initiation.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>

These data, coupled with several clinical trials showing an absence of SAT loss with use of PI-containing ART without a tNRTI,

reinforce our view that the use of PIs is not independently associated with SAT toxicity

<p>Exposure to certain PIs, including lopinavir/ritonavir, has also been associated with insulin resistance

Despite the transcriptional changes observed suggesting insulin resistance in this study (Figure 
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="DKW301F1">1</xref>
b), there was no effect on systemic insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR), indicating that the transcriptional changes in SAT were insufficient to affect whole-body insulin sensitivity. Although use of the hyperinsulinaemic–euglycaemic clamp may have allowed more sensitive detection of changes in insulin sensitivity, the findings of previous studies using this method were consistent with ours.

presumably reflecting the pro-inflammatory effects of uncontrolled HIV infection. In this study, we found that initiation of PI-only ART was associated with the reverse—increased PPARG activity and decreased expression of inflammatory markers
<italic>IKBKB</italic>
(mRNA) and B2M (protein)—implying a recovery from HIV-induced effects on SAT rather than PI-mediated toxicity. Furthermore, mitochondrial toxicity, another key feature of both untreated HIV and ART-mediated adipose tissue toxicity,

and further support an overall improvement in SAT function with initiation of PI-only ART.</p>
<p>Taken together, our findings suggest that the initiation of PI-only ART, independent of the confounding effects of other ART classes, displays negligible SAT toxicity in clinical, transcriptional, protein and histological analyses. In the context of an ever-expanding number of PLWH and with the need to increase global access to ART,
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
</sup>
the safety and efficacy of novel and cheaper ART regimens including PI monotherapy are being increasingly explored.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C44" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>
</sup>
Within this clinical setting, our results are particularly relevant and reassuring considering the lack of significant PI-mediated SAT toxicity observed.</p>
<p>This study had limitations. The absence of a group initiating alternative ART regimens makes it difficult to differentiate between the effects of PIs on SAT function and the effect of suppressing HIV replication. In addition, the relatively advanced immunosuppression of substudy subjects at baseline may have contributed to an augmented ‘return to health’ phenomenon that could differ from cohorts beginning ART at higher CD4+ counts. However, our molecular and clinical data are consistent with the findings of recent randomized studies that also demonstrate generalized increases in adiposity in subjects of higher baseline CD4+ counts when initiating several types of tNRTI-sparing ART.

,
<xref rid="DKW301C46" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
</sup>
With follow-up limited to 24 weeks, SAT dysfunction arising from longer periods of PI exposure may not have been detected. Despite this, PIs can induce adipocyte toxicity

after as little as 5 days of exposure
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
</sup>
and
<italic>in vivo</italic>
transcriptional changes indicative of SAT toxicity have been demonstrated after even shorter periods of ART exposure.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
,
<xref rid="DKW301C35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
</sup>
While it may be argued that these results may not apply to the PI class as a whole (only two types of PI were examined), initiation of other commonly used PIs, such as darunavir and atazanavir, has a similar effect on body composition.
<sup>
<xref rid="DKW301C47" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
</sup>
Finally, study subjects were exclusively Asian. Nevertheless, there is no reason to suggest that the effects of PI on SAT would be markedly different in other patient groups.</p>
<p>In summary, the initiation of PI-only ART in this study facilitated an improvement rather than a deterioration in SAT function, with the changes observed consistent with a return to health, including increased adiposity, reduced levels of inflammation and improved mitochondrial function in adipose tissue.</p>
