description | The latent viral reservoir represents one of the major barriers of curing HIV. Focus on the “kick and kill” approach, in which virus expression is reactivated then cells producing virus are selectively depleted, has led to the discovery of many latency reversing agents (LRAs) that can reactivate latently integrated virus and further our understanding of the mechanisms driving HIV latency and latency reversal. Thus far, individual compounds have yet to be robust enough to work as a therapy, highlighting the importance of identifying new compounds that can act in novel pathways and synergize with known LRAs. In this study, we identified a promising LRA, NSC95397, from a screen of ~4250 compounds in J-Lat cell lines. We validated that NSC95397 reactivates latent viral transcription and protein expression from cells with unique integration events. Cotreating cells with NSC95397 and known LRAs demonstrated that NSC95397 has the potential to synergize with different drugs, such prostratin, a PKC agonist, and SAHA, an HDAC inhibitor. By looking at multiple common markers of open chromatin, we show that NSC95397 does not increase open chromatin globally. Bulk RNA sequencing revealed that NSC95397 does not greatly change cellular transcription. Instead, NSC95397 downregulates many pathways key to metabolism, cell growth, and DNA repair – highlighting the potential of these pathways in regulating HIV latency. Overall, we identified NSC95397 as a novel LRA that does not alter global transcription, that shows potential for synergy with known LRAs, and that may act through novel pathways not previously recognized for their ability to modulate HIV latency. |
