Definitions
- Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is a viral disease of major importance in America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Infected individuals have severe immunosuppression and the disease can still be fatal although progress has been made with triple therapy. Transmission of the disease most often occurs through sexual contact and the use of intravenous drugs. The disease is transmissible from mother to child.
- One of the causative agents of this disease is the HIV-1 retrovirus.
- the HIV-1 genome has been fully characterized by ain-Hobson et al., 1985 (22); Ratner et al., 1985 (23); Muesing et al., 1985 (24); Sanchez-Pescador et al., 1985
- HIV-1 are the gag, pol and env genes.
- the env gene sequence encodes the Env protein which is synthesized in the form of a glycosylated precursor, gpl ⁇ O, which is cleaved by a cellular endoprotease into two subunits, the surface protein gpl20 and the transmembrane protein gp41. These two subunits remain linked noncovalently and the native glycoprotein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane or to the viral envelope is very probably a trimer or possibly a tetramer of the gpl20 / gp41 complex, stabilized by interactions at the level of the extracellular domains of the gp41 subunits
- primary isolates are generally much more resistant than laboratory strains to neutralization by antibodies and soluble forms of CD4. Indeed, epitopes such as the site of binding to the CD4 receptor and the V3 loop are not very accessible on the Env proteins of the primary isolates, while they are exposed on the surface of viruses adapted to culture. Consequently, the antibodies specific for these antigenic determinants effectively neutralize the adapted strains but not the primary isolates (1).
- the resistance of primary isolates to neutralization is independent of the differential use of coreceptors between the adapted and primary strains. The few primary isolates that use only CXCR4 as a co-receptor are as difficult to neutralize as those using CCR5.
- CTL cytotoxic CD8 + T lymphocytes
- Envelope glycoproteins from primary isolates should be used, not TCLA laboratory strains. Make sure to present this protein to the immune system in its native oligomeric conformation.
- New broad-spectrum neutralization epitopes must be identified due to the extraordinary adaptability of primary viruses to mutate to resist neutralization by an antibody. Indeed, in the humanized SCID mouse model, a therapeutic attempt consisting in the administration of a mixture of the three antibodies IgGlbl2, 2G12 and 2F5 selected, within a week, a viral subpopulation resistant to neutralization by each of the three antibodies (Poignard P. et al., 1999 (5)).
- the HIV-1 envelope protein is highly glycosylated (50% of the total mass).
- the sugars present on its surface provide, among other things, protection against the neutralizing response (Reitter J.N. et al., 1998 (6)).
- Numerous studies have shown the role played by these residues in infectivity or protection. However, these studies, far from being systematic, have always taken into account glycosylation sites either independently of each other or on specific structural elements such as variable loops VI, V2, V3 or the N-terminal and C- ends protein terminal (6-8).
- the inventors first put forward and verified the hypothesis that at the level of the sorting of hetero-dimers present on the surface of infected cells or of the virus, the most conserved potential glycosylation sites are grouped so as to protect important conformational elements for the virus.
- Table 1 Alignment of the potential glycosylation sites on 13 sequences of primary isolates (PI) from patients with primary infection and 5 sequences of TCLA strain (deleted from the V1 / V2 loops)
- IP IP
- TCLA strain TC
- CCR5 R5
- CXCR4 X4
- double tropism
- NB the amino acid numbering is given in relation to the complete sequence.
- the inventors then selected the most highly conserved glycosylation sites and positioned these conserved sites on the 3D structure of gpl20 (#PDB database: 1G9M) using PDB-Vie software (Glaxo-Welcorne).
- Each sequence was analyzed independently. This analysis showed that the conserved sites had a layout comparable to the surface of the molecule, regardless of the sequence of the primary isolates.
- groups or “glycosylation clusters” which correspond to groupings of the sites conserved on the surface of gpl20 from one primary isolate to another. These groups being defined, a list of deglycosylation mutants which takes these results into account has been established.
- One of the glycosylation groups corresponds to a region located near the GPGS motif of the V3 loop (group gl4).
- Another group (g112 / gl22) partially overlaps the glycosylation sites which define the neutralizing epitope 2G12 (Trkolla A. et al., 1996 (14)).
- a third group is juxtaposed to a cavity in which are housed amino acids involved in the binding to co-receptors (group 1112).
- a fourth group is located at the level of 4 anti-parallel beta sheets located at the junction of the two main areas of the gpl20 (Bridging sheet).
- a fifth group is present on the “silent” side of gpl20 (group 113).
- the controls consist either of the completely deglycosylated envelope gene for VI (6) or of a total deletion of the V1V2 loops.
- two additional mutants gl23 and gll23 were defined which correspond to deglycosylations, not within the same cluster, but in each different “cluster” (one mutation per “cluster”).
- At least one mutation was carried out on the selected sequences obtained from patient 133 (PHI133, accession number AF041126). Each mutation consists in replacing the asparagine of the potential glycosylation site (NXS / T) by a glutamine and this with the help of a mutagenesis kit directed according to the manufacturer's instructions (Quickchange Site-directed Mutagenesis Kit, Stratagene ). Each mutant was cloned into the expression vector pCI (Promega) and completely sequenced in order to verify the integrity of the sequence after mutagenesis. The purification of the mutant plasmids was carried out using the Nucleobond PC500 kit (Macherey-Nagel). Figure 1 shows the definition of clusters and the proximity of each site on the crystallized gpl20 molecule.
- Table 2 summarizes the nature and positioning of each mutation for a specific mutant.
- the reference amino acid sequences are the sequence of the Env protein of the deleted non-mutated HIV-1 133 isolate and the sequence of the Env protein of the complete non-mutated HIV-1 133 isolate. The amino acid correspondences are given in Table 2.
- the amino acid sequence of the Env protein of the complete non-mutated isolate HIV-1 133 is identified in SEQ ID NO: 11 and the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the env gene of l the non-mutated (complete) HIV-1 133 isolate is identified in SEQ ID NO: 1.

- sequence of gpl40 (which corresponds to gpl20 plus the extracellular domains of gp41) begins at l amino acid 1 and ends at amino acid 669 with reference to the sequence SEQ ID NO: 11.

- the position of the conserved glycosylation sites can vary from 1 to 8 amino acids and the invention encompasses these positioning variations.
- Table 3 presents some examples of variation of the glycosylation sites and summarizes all the potential glycosylation sites in the env genes of the primary isolates 133, 146, 153, 159, 160, 374 and 384. The positions in amino acids are indicated for deleted sequences according to Kwong et al. 1998. Each row of the table corresponds to a potential site, the correspondence between the different positions was determined by an alignment of the deleted sequences. The glycosylation sites conserved in all the sequences are underlined.

- Example 1 Expression and cleavage.
- 293T cells (kidney epithelial cells) are co-transfected with each of the PCI-env constructs and the PCI-rev expression plasmid using the Lipofectamine-Plus kit (Gibco-BRL) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Rev is an HIV-1 regulatory protein that plays an important role in the expression of the envelope protein.
- the culture supernatant and the cells are recovered and tested in Western blot with a polyclonal sheep anti-gpl20 antibody (Biogenesis) diluted to 1/5000. For this, the samples are deposited on a denaturing gel of 8% acrylamide.
- the samples are transferred to a PVDF membrane (ImmobilonP, Amersham) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- the normalization of the samples was made with an anti-Actin monoclonal antibody diluted to 1/5000 (A4700, Sigma) and anti-Rev 2D4D10 diluted to 1/5000 (bioMérieux).
- For the supernatants normalization was made according to the serum albumin level of the culture medium.
- the blots are revealed using the ECF kit (Amersham) and the bands revealed are quantified on Typhoon 8600 using ImageQuant software. All constructions express a protein that reacts with the anti-gpl20 polyclonal.
- mutant proteins are affected by the loss of one or more glycosylations.
- the decrease in gpl20 detected in the cell lysate is associated with the increase in the number of mutations ( Figure 2).
- the specific band is totally absent (mutants glll2, gl22, gl3, gll3, gl4, gl23, gll23 and DV1V2). It is also absent from the corresponding culture supernatant: one might think that the cleavage rate is affected.
- Moulard (15) has described this phenomenon which he associates with a bad translocation in the RE and / or a folding defect preventing the accessibility of the cutting site.
- gpl20 is detected in the supernatant (approximately 8x more than the native protein, at the amount of normalized proteins) while this is not detected in the cell lysate. It therefore seems that the mutations present on this clone affect the interactions between them which bind the subunits of the envelope and not the cleavage rate of gpl60.
- the cleavage rate for the single mutants is generally comparable to that observed for the native envelope (except for the g21 mutant). It is interesting to note that in comparison the mutant corresponding to the total deglycosylation of the loop VI seems little affected by the loss of 3 glycosylations.
- Example 2 Ability of the mutants to form syncytia in vi tro.
- the 293T cells which express the various mutants are subcultured at 1/10 and placed in the presence of GHOST-CCR5 or -CxCR4 cells at 50% density.
- the cells are fixed for 15 minutes with 0.5% glutaraldehyde, then the nuclei and the cytoplasms are stained in May-Gr ⁇ nwald / Giemsa. Observation and counting of the syncytia formed is assessed by observation with an inverted optical microscope.
- the ability to induce syncytia is reduced when the number of mutations is increased. It is null for the clones which are not cleaved (gll3, gll23 and perhaps glll2). This result confirms the previous results and gives an indication of the maintenance of the functionality of the various envelopes after mutation.
- the constructs do not induce the formation of syncytia on CXCR4 indicator cells, as has been demonstrated by Pollakis (16) after partial deglycosylation of the V3 loop of gpl60 ADA.
- Table 4 Ability of the envelope mutants to form syncytia in vi tro.
- the lysates and the supernatants were tested in capture ELISA with a pool of H Vt- sera coming from the Croix-Rousse hospital in Lyon. This pool of sera consists of 2 subtype B samples and a subtype C sample. All ELISA results correspond to the average of 2 duplicate experiments.
- the format of the test is as follows:
- the supernatants are captured by the antibody D7324; lysates are captured either by D7324 or by 12G11B10.
- the latter was mainly used because the D7324 epitope is little exposed on non-cleaved gpl60 and the signal detected then depends on the cleavage rate of the different mutants.
- 2G12 is a human monoclonal antibody obtained by electrofusion of PBL HIV + and CB-F7 cells (17). It has a broad spectrum neutralizing power on primary isolates and certain TCLA viruses. The epitope recognized by this antibody is discontinuous and mainly covers the V3 and V4 regions as well as certain sugars present in these regions. The recognition of 2G12 was tested in ELISA on cell lysates and on the supernatants of the various mutants. The format of the test is the same as the previous one, except for the detection antibody which is 2G12 (l ⁇ g / l). No positive signal is detected even for the 133-native protein. This result confirms results obtained in RIPA and in ELISA by the team of D. Brand (Tours) on the envelope 133. Parren, in 1998, described a primary isolate resistant to the three neutralizing antibodies 2G12, 2F5 and B12. His results indicate that this resistance is probably due to an overall change in the oligomeric structure of the envelope.
- the envelope glycoprotein has the ability to bind CD4 with high affinity. This bonding capacity is essential in the infection process.
- CD4s diluted to I ⁇ g / ml in PBSlx-Tween 0.1% -BSA 20 ⁇ g / ml; 2 hour incubation at 22 ° C.
- the quantity of CD4s detected varies in the same way on the lysates and on the supernatants (FIG. 4).
- the signal intensity is a function of the number of deglycosyl sites except for the gl2 and gl4 mutants which correspond to double mutations.
- Clones corresponding to envelope proteins whose antigenicity or cleavage rate are reduced have a low signal (gl22, gl3, gll3, gl23 and gll23).
- IgGlbl2 epitope This human monoclonal antibody is described as having a significant neutralizing activity both on primary isolates (clade AD) and on laboratory strains.
- the epitope is discontinuous and covers the CD4 binding site. Recognition is preferably done on oligomers on the surface of infected cells or viruses, at the expense of "debris" which prevents an effective neutralizing response. No positive signal was noted whatever the clones tested. This is in agreement with the preliminary results of D. Brand on envelope 133.
- IgGlbl2 is described as being very sensitive to substitutions at the level of loops VI and V2. Certain amino acids in regions C2 and C3 are also described as playing a crucial role in the recognition of the bl2 epitope (18).
- the 133 envelope has an atypical protein sequence compared to other envelope proteins of the same subtype. Recognition of the F105 epitope (see Figure 5).
- the human monoclonal antibody F105 binds near the CD4 binding site. CD4s can inhibit its binding.
- the F105 antibody neutralizes the TCLA strains. Some authors have described neutralization for some primary isolates (19), but the results are very controversial.
- the binding of this antibody was tested on the lysates and the supernatants.
- the format of the test is the same as that used with the 2G12.
- the F105 antibody (NIBSC) is used at a concentration of l ⁇ g / ml.
- An important signal is noted for the clone gl2 (up to 4.5 times the signal of the native protein with an equivalent amount of protein).
- the mutation n ° 294 present on gl2 (but not on g2) is located at the level of the V3 loop; it is known that the attachment of F105 to glycoproteins deleted for V3 is improved.
- Other mutations appear to have a crucial role in the recognition of the protein by the antibody. This is the case with mutation No.
- the binding of CD4 induces changes in conformation and allows the formation of de novo epitopes whose emergence conditions the binding of the co-receptor.
- CG10 is a murine monoclonal antibody capable of neutralizing certain TCLA strains. It binds near the "bridging-sheet" in competition with the 17b. Its fixation is strictly dependent on CD4 (21).
- the ELISA used has the following format: Coating: D7324 (supernatants) or 12G11B10
- Anti-mouse IgG conjugate coupled with peroxidase diluted to 1/5000 in PBSlx-Tween 0.1% - BSA 20 ⁇ g / ml
- the ELISA results show good recognition of the CG10 epitope in the presence of CD4s and for the majority of the envelope proteins with the exception of the mutants gl22, gl3, gll3, gl23 and gll23.
- the signal correlates well with the rate of binding to CD4s (see Figure 5).
- 17b is a human monoclonal antibody directed against a CD4-induced epitope. It has limited neutralizing activity for both primary isolates and TCLA strains. If the exposure of the epitope does not strictly depend on the fixation of CD4 it is nevertheless improved by its presence.
- the ELISA format used is the same as for CG10.
- Antibody 17b is used at a concentration of l ⁇ g / ml. The detection is done with an anti-human FG IgG antibody coupled to peroxidase and diluted to 1/5000 (Jackson).
- the immunogenicity of the gl2 and gll2 mutants must be good.
- the mutants of the g4 / gl4 series are interesting because they have good reactivity with respect to the various antibodies tested.
- Example 4 Selection of a Panel of Mutants and Evaluation of the Neutralizing Power of the Antibodies Generated After Immunization of Balb / C Mice
- the following panel of mutants was chosen.
- the gl3 mutant was also evaluated because of the cluster positioning of the mutated sites on the "silent" side of the external domain of gpl20.
- the mutant gl23 (noncluster mutant), as well as the wild envelope gene, were used as references.
- Each envelope gene was subcloned into a pCi-Rev vector which is derived from the pCi-Neo vector (Promega) by replacing the neomycin gene with the rev gene which is then under the dependence of the SV40 promoter.
- Each construct was prepared with an endotoxin-free plasmid extraction kit (Macherey-Nagel PC2000 EF).
- the immunizations were carried out as follows: for each construction, 5 female Balb / C mice were immunized by biolistics (GeneGun, Biorad) using gold particles previously coated with 4 ⁇ g of plasmid to be injected. Five successive injections took place on D0, D14, D28, D54 and D68. On D40 and D80 blood samples are taken from the eye of the animals. These samples were used to test the rise of the antibodies directed against the envelope after the various immunizations. To do this,
- ELISAs were performed: gpl60 envelope protein
- mice diluted to l ⁇ g / ml was adsorbed on 96-well plates (Nunc). After saturation of the non-specific sites, the sera of the mice immunized on days D0, D40 and D80 are used at dilutions ranging from 1/100 to 1/800, then revealed by an antibody directed against the mouse antibodies coupled to the peroxidase of horseradish (Jackson). A OD read greater than 0.35 is considered significant. Table 5 below summarizes the positive mice obtained, for each construct. Table 5
- mice The sera of these mice were used in two neutralization tests described below: a- The FR virus (primary virus X4) was brought into contact with serial dilutions (at l / 10 le l / 20 d and 1/40 th ) of the various mouse sera for 1 h at 37 ° C. in DMEM medium (Euromedex) then added to 96-well plates in which Hela P4PCCR5 cells were previously cultured. These cells have the CD4 receptor and the CCR5 and CXCR4 co-receptors. They have the gene for B-galactosidase, dependent on a retroviral LTR. After 1 hour of co-culture, 200 ⁇ l of DMEM medium containing 5% fetal calf serum are added.
- DMEM medium containing 5% fetal calf serum
- the cells are then incubated for 48 hours at 37 ° C. At the end of these 24 hours, the expression of the B-galactosidase is revealed using a solution of X-gal at 400 ⁇ g / ml of 0.2M potassium ferricyanide / 0.2M potassium ferrocyanide 0.2M / MgCl 2 2M.
- the percentage of neutralization corresponds to the percentage of uninfected cells, for which the synthesis of B-Galactosidase was not induced. Tests were carried out in parallel with virus but without mouse serum (infection control) or with serum from non-immunized mice (neutralization background noise control, Tneg). The results obtained are summarized in Table 6 below and Figure 8.
- mice positive in ELISA (respectively S3 / S4 and S3 / S4) give a significant neutralizing response at the 1/10 dilution (70% of neutralization). This percentage is lower for a 1/20 dilution and joins the background noise value for a 1/40 dilution, except for the S3 mouse immunized with pCI-rev-gl2 whose value is slightly higher (40%).
- the plasmid pNL4-3luc makes it possible to express all the viral genes except vpr and env (frame hopping) as well as the Luciferase gene.
- viral pseudo-particles carrying the recombinant 133 wild envelopes are formed. Forty-eight hours after transfection, the culture supernatants are recovered and centrifuged in order to remove the debris. cell. They are then supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum, aliquoted and stored at -80 ° C.
- An assay of p24 carried out on the VIDAS automated system (bioMérieux), makes it possible to evaluate the quantity of viral particles present in these supernatants.
- Example 5 Evaluation of the functionality of all deglycosylation mutants: infection with pseudo-viruses and attempts to neutralize this infection with HIV-1 positive human sera.
- Obtaining pseudoparticles expressing the different deglycosylation mutants is important because it makes it possible to study the envelope protein in its natural context, ie integrated into a viral particle.
- 293T cells were co-transfected with each of the mutated pCI-env constructs (deglycosylation mutants, see list in Table 2) and with the plasmid pNL4-3 read (NIH AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program) according to the protocol described in Example 1 above.
- the culture supernatants are recovered and centrifuged in order to remove the cellular debris. They are then supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum, aliquoted and stored at -80 ° C.
- An assay of p24 carried out on the VIDAS automated system (bioMérieux), makes it possible to evaluate the quantity of viral particles present in these supernatants.
- GHOST-CCR5 or -CXCR4 cells The infection of GHOST-CCR5 or -CXCR4 cells (NIH AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program) is carried out overnight, in 24-well culture plates, by contact with a volume of supernatant corresponding to 50 ng of p24 per well. The culture medium is then renewed. After an additional 3 days of incubation, the supernatants are eliminated, the cells are rinsed with PBS IX and lysed with 300 ⁇ l of CCLR (Cell Culture Lysis Reagent from Promega) for 15 minutes. A volume of 20 ⁇ l of these lysates is brought into contact with 80 ⁇ l of substrate
- Env is detected only in the pseudo-particles that infect GHOST cells: when the number of deglycosyl sites is increased, the export of the envelope protein to the plasma membrane as well as the incorporation of the envelope into the pseudo -particles seem to be affected.
- the infection is carried out in 96-well plates by contact with a volume equivalent to 10 ng of p24. Lysis and enzymatic reaction are carried out with the LucLite Plus kit (Perkin Elmer). The luminescence is read on a TopCount plate reader (Packard Biosciences). The results are illustrated in FIG. 10.
- the “negative serum” curve corresponds to an experiment carried out on pseudo-virions expressing the wild envelope placed in the presence of a negative HIV-1 serum (CTS Lyon-Gerland). It is the curve determining the background noise. Neutralization is effective for a dilution of serum greater than 1/640 th . These results show that the pseudo-particles are neutralized differently depending on the envelope expressed on their surface.
- the g30 and g22 mutants see their percentage of infection significantly reduced compared to the wild envelope (not mutated). Even if there is no direct correlation between this experience and the capacity of such a mutant to induce neutralizing antibodies in vivo, the g22 mutant could be an interesting candidate to test for its capacity to induce neutralizing antibodies after immunization.
