1 Predicting and Understanding HIV-1 Resistance to Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies Max Planck Institute for Informatics

2 Motivation HIV-1 drug target space is limited Drug resistance emergence under HAART Consistent change of treatment for chronic patients Need for new drug targets De Clercq et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery

3 Motivation De Clercq et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery

4 Motivation Burton et al., Nature Reviews Immunology 2002 (new) target: envelope spike treatment option: broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnabs) De Clercq et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery

5 Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies PG9 (V1/V2-loop) (Walker et al., 2009) PGT128 (V3-loop) (Walker et al., 2011; Mouquet et al., 2012) Glycans 45-46G54W (CD4bs) (Diskin et al., 2011) 4E10 (MPER) (Cardoso et al., 2005) Burton et al., Science

6 Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies PG9 (V1/V2-loop) (Walker et al., 2009) Developed in 10-30% of infected patients PGT128 (V3-loop) BUT: too little too late (Walker et al., 2011; Mouquet et al., 2012) Glycans 45-46G54W (CD4bs) (Diskin et al., 2011) HIV-1 vaccine research: HIV-1 treatment: Induce bnab development bnab immunotherapy 4E10 (MPER) (Cardoso et al., 2005) Burton et al., Science

7 bnabs for HIV-1 Treatment 4

8 bnabs for HIV-1 Treatment 4

9 bnabs for HIV-1 Treatment 4

10 bnabs for HIV-1 Treatment Challenges 1. Resistance to bnabs (Will it work?) 2. Optimal Personalized Treatment (Which will work best?) Goal Given HIV-1 variants of the patient and a bnab Predict susceptibility or resistance 5

11 Data Neutralization assay data covering 4 major epitopes: V1/V2-loop: PG9, PG16 gp41-gp120: 35O22 V3-loop: CD4bs: PGT128, PGT121, , VRC01, VRC-PG04, NIH45-46, 3BNC117 Doria-Rose et al., J.Virol. 2009; Mouquet et al., PNAS 2012; Huang et al., Nature

12 Data Neutralization assay data covering 4 major epitopes: V1/V2-loop: PG9, PG envelope (Env) sequences with corresponding IC50 values per bnab gp41-gp120: 35O22 V3-loop: CD4bs: PGT128, PGT121, , VRC01, VRC-PG04, NIH45-46, 3BNC117 Doria-Rose et al., J.Virol. 2009; Mouquet et al., PNAS 2012; Huang et al., Nature

13 Building Prediction Model 1. Learning 6

14 Building Prediction Model 1. Learning 6

15 Building Prediction Model 1. Learning Binarize label into resistant ( ), if IC50 50μg/mL susceptible (+), if IC50 < 50μg/mL 6

16 Building Prediction Model 1. Learning Binarize label into resistant ( ), if IC50 50μg/mL susceptible (+), if IC50 < 50μg/mL 6

17 Building Prediction Model 1. Learning 2. Predicting 6

18 Prediction Performance Model performance was tested in a 10 times nested crossvalidation Overall high prediction performance (up to 0.84 AUC) Classifiers for the same epitope achieve similar performances 7

19 Prediction Performance Questions: Can we interpret the models? Can we interpret the classification result? 7

20 Understanding the Classifier Learnt discriminant positions of the classifiers susceptible resistant 8

21 Understanding the Result AA susceptible aa resistant Residues of the test sequence that contributed the most (strongest 5%) to the classification result of the PG9 classifier. 9

22 bnabs for HIV-1 Treatment Challenges 1. Resistance to bnabs (Will it work?) 2. Optimal Personalized Treatment (Which will work best?) Goal Given HIV-1 variants of the patient and a bnab Predict susceptibility or resistance 10

23 bnabs for HIV-1 Treatment Challenges 1. Resistance to bnabs (Will it work?) 2. Optimal Personalized Treatment (Which will work best?) Goal Given HIV-1 variants of the patient and a bnab Predict the corresponding IC50 value 10

24 Building Regression Models Setup: Same input data Instead of binarization, log transformation used Instead of classification, the corresponding IC50 value is predicted using support vector regression 11

25 Building Regression Models Setup: Same input data Instead of binarization, log transformation used Instead of classification, the corresponding IC50 value is predicted using support vector regression Result: Positive correlations of for all bnabs apart from 35O22 11

26 Continuous Drift Towards Resistance Studied population: 40 Caucasian men having sex with men, subtype B similar distribution of viral loads and CD4-T cell counts b12, VRC01, VRC03, NIH45-46G54W, PG9, PG16, PGT121, PGT128, PGT145 Over 20 years ( / / ) French ANRS PRIMO and SEROCO cohorts 12

27 Continuous Drift Towards Resistance Studied population: 40 Caucasian men having sex with men, subtype B Questions: Only for subtype B? Does it hold for global viral population? What about other time periods? similar distribution of viral loads and CD4-T cell counts b12, VRC01, VRC03, NIH45-46G54W, PG9, PG16, PGT121, PGT128, PGT145 Over 20 years ( / / ) French ANRS PRIMO and SEROCO cohorts 12

28 Time Analysis over LANL Env Seqs Setup: Predicted IC50 value using support vector regression models before ART ART cocktail (NRTIs) ART monotherapy LPV/r HAART cocktail with PIs Time covered: Paper vs our time partitioning 1987 ~ Env Seqs from LANL, different subtypes 1981 Maraviroc/ Raltegravir Doria-Rose et al., J.Virol. 2009; Mouquet et al., PNAS 2012; Huang et al., Nature

29 Time Analysis over LANL Env Seqs NIH45-46 Continuous trend towards resistance for all antibodies but PG9 and PG16 (Bonferroni correction threshold 0.05/22=~0.002, umbrella test) Considering non-b subtype (vs B): similar trend, but PGT121, PGT128 not significant anymore (Bonferroni correction threshold 0.05/22=~0.002, umbrella test) PG9 log(ic50) Over the whole available time period Time periods 14

30 Conclusion Well performing classification models for HIV-1 resistance to bnabs Reliable classifiers identifying potential binding site residues Visualization of data relationships and motif logos improve biological understanding of the classification result Regression models provide more fine-grained predictions Useful as recommendation device for bnab combination therapy Extendable to new HIV-1 bnabs or HCV bnabs 15
