Molecular bases of human diseases
Nos projets de recherche s’inscrivent dans une thématique visant à mieux comprendre les interactions entre le VIH et la cellule hôte. Pour cela, nous cherchons à identifier et à étudier la régulation de l’activité des facteurs cellulaires impliqués dans l’activation et la répression de la réplication virale. Nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement à la régulation de l’expression des gènes viraux. En effet, chez les patients infectés par le VIH, le taux de réplication virale, contrôlé en partie par la transcription du génome viral, est un facteur critique, déterminant la progression de la maladie vers le stade SIDA.
La transcription des gènes du VIH est sous le contrôle du transactivateur viral Tat et des facteurs de transcription cellulaires qui interagissent avec sa région promotrice LTR 5’ (“Long Terminal Repeat”). Les déterminants cellulaires impliqués dans la latence transcriptionnelle du VIH, phénomène à l’origine de l’établissement du réservoir viral observé chez les patients infectés, sont mal connus.
Ce réservoir viral, constitué principalement de cellules lymphocytaires T CD4+ mémoires infectées mais non productrices de virus, est un des obstacles majeurs responsables de l’échec des thérapies anti-VIH. Ces cellules stables sont insensibles aux traitements et invisibles pour le système immunitaire. La réactivation du virus dans ces cellules permettra de les rendre accessibles aux traitements anti-viraux. La combinaison d’agents activateurs du virus dans les cellules réservoirs et la tri-thérapie (HAART) permettront de « purger » le réservoir viral et par conséquent, éliminer le virus.
Plusieurs études montrent un rôle important de la structure chromatinienne dans le choix des sites d’intégration et la régulation de la transcription à partir du promoteur viral. De plus, des études récentes suggèrent une interaction physique et fonctionnelle entre le VIH et la machinerie RNAi cellulaire. Afin d’étudier le rôle de la chromatine et de la machinerie RNAi cellulaire dans la réplication du VIH, nous appliquons plusieurs techniques incluant une approche protéomique pour identifier les facteurs cellulaires impliqués dans l’activation et la répression du LTR. Le recrutement de ces facteurs au niveau du LTR est analysé par immunoprécipitation de chromatine et PCR quantitative et par immunofluoresence.
