abstract = {The mechanisms mediating elite and persistent HIV control
in people living with HIV (PLHIV) are only partially
understood and largely attributed to adaptive T cell
responses, but whether innate immunity also contributes
remains unclear. Using samples from the 2000HIV study, we
examined the transcriptional and functional profiles of
monocytes from spontaneous HIV controllers and normal
progressors on long-term antiretroviral therapy. HIV
controllers displayed enhanced cytokine production after
bacterial and viral stimulation, alongside antiviral and
interferon-inducible transcriptional signatures and reduced
inflammatory gene expression. Persistent controllers further
showed increased capacity for trained immunity, with H3K4me3
profiling indicating the epigenetic priming of innate immune
genes. Remarkably, relatives of persistent controllers also
exhibited stronger innate and trained immune responses than
relatives of normal progressors. These findings suggest that
robust innate immunity, particularly monocyte function, may
precede infection and contribute to sustained HIV control,
offering new avenues for therapies that induce similar
innate antiviral responses.},
