  1. Abstract:

    Interleukin (IL)-10 is an immunosuppressive cytokine that signals through STAT3 to regulate T follicular helper cell (TFH) differentiation and germinal center formation. In SIV-infected macaques, levels of IL-10 in plasma and lymph node (LN) were induced by infection and not normalized with ART. During chronic infection, plasma IL-10 and transcriptomic signatures of IL-10 signaling were correlated with the cell-associated SIV-DNA content within LN CD4+ memory subsets, including TFH, and predicted the frequency of CD4+ TFH and their cell-associated SIV-DNA content during ART, respectively. In ART-treated RMs, cells harboring SIV-DNA by DNAscope were preferentially found in the LN B-cell follicle in proximity to IL-10. Finally, we demonstrated that the in vivo neutralization of soluble IL-10 in ART-treated, SIV-infected macaques reduced B cell follicle maintenance and by extension LN memory CD4+ T-cells, including TFH and those expressing PD-1 and CTLA-4. Thus, these data support a role for IL-10 in maintaining a pool of target cells in lymphoid tissue that serve as a niche for viral persistence. Targeting IL-10 signaling to impair CD4+ T-cell survival and improve antiviral immune responses may represent a novel approach to limit viral persistence in ART-suppressed people living with HIV.
