Together, these results reveal that Th1Th17 cells exhibit a unique transcriptional program favorable to HIV replication that can be negatively regulated by the nuclear receptor PPAR. Genome wide transcriptional profiling demonstrated that, despite a high degree of transcriptional similarity, Th1Th17 and Th1 cells are distinguished by the differential expression of 780 probe sets, www.selleckchem.com/products/carfilzomib-pr-171.html including 265 upregulated and 235 downregulated, respectively. Transcripts differentially expressed in Th1Th17 vs. Th1 cells were classified using two systematic approaches GSEA and GO. GSEA demonstrated that transcripts linked to p38 MAPK signaling, integrins, transendothelial migra tion, cytokine receptor interaction, IL 23 signaling, and circadian clock pathways were enriched in Th1Th17 cells.

In contrast, transcripts linked to interferon type 1 signaling pathway, proteasome, and cell cycle were enriched in Th1 cells. Also, transcripts with promoters controlled by transcription factors such as RORA, Foxo1, Foxo4, AP 2, NF B, and p53 were enriched in Th1Th17 vs. Th1 cells. GO classification by biological function Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries revealed significant differences between Th1Th17 and Th1 cells relative to transcripts involved in cell adhesion, cytokines chemokines, inflammatory processes, immune responses, differentiation, transcription, and signal transduction. The finding that the NF B activation pathway, known for its implication in enhancing the transcription of different genes including the HIV LTRs, was enriched in Th1Th17 is consistent with results generated by siRNA screens for HIV dependency factors in cell lines.

Several Th1Th17 specific transcripts were also recently identified by Imbeault et al. as being over expressed in HIV infected Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries vs. uninfected CD4 T cells. These transcripts are linked to T cell polarization and activation, susceptibility to apoptosis, and regulation of viral replication. Finally, our finding that gene sets linked to interferon type I signaling, Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries including the antiviral factor ISG20, are over expressed Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries in Th1 cells is consistent with the up regula tion of these pathways in HIV resistant CMV specific CD4 T cells. Thus, we provide evidence that HIV permissiveness in Th1Th17 vs. Th1 is associated with a superior state of cellular activation and limited antiviral properties.

Our study Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries reveals that trafficking of Th1Th17 and Th1 cells is regulated by distinct adhesion molecules and che mokine receptors CCR6, MCAM, CEACAM1, CCR2, and CXCR6 for Th1Th17 and PEACAM 1CD31, ALCAM, and CXCR5 for Th1. CCR6 is a Th17 marker essential for their homing www.selleckchem.com/products/arq-197.html into Peyers patches and the central nervous system. MCAM facilitates entry into the CNS of T cells involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. CCR2 is another Th17 marker that also acts as minor co receptor for HIV entry.
