We previously reported the presence of memory CD4+ T cells that express low levels of SAMHD1 (SAMHD1low) in peripheral blood and lymph nodes from both HIV-1 infected and uninfected individuals. These cells are enriched in Th17 and Tfh subsets, two populations known to be preferentially targeted by HIV-1. Here we investigated whether SAMHD1low CD4+ T-cells harbour replication-competent virus and compartimentalized HIV-1 genomes. We sorted memory CD4+CD45RO+SAMHD1low, CD4+CD45RO+SAMHD1+ and naive CD4+CD45RO-SAMHD1+ cells from HIV-1-infected patients on anti-retroviral therapy (c-ART) and performed HIV-1 DNA quantification, ultra-deep-sequencing of partial env (C2/V3) sequences and phenotypic characterization of the cells. We show that SAMHD1low cells include novel Th17 CCR6+ subsets that lack CXCR3 and CCR4 (CCR6+DN). There is a decrease of the % of Th17 in SAMHD1low compartment in infected compared to uninfected individuals (41% vs 55%, p, Author summary In our previous results we reported that memory CD4+ T cells expressing low levels of SAMHD1 (SAMHD1low) are present in peripheral blood and lymph nodes from HIV-1 infected and uninfected individuals. These cells were enriched in Th17 and Tfh, two populations targeted by HIV-1. Here we used purified memory CD4+CD45RO+SAMHD1low, CD4+CD45RO+SAMHD1+ and naive CD4+CD45RO-SAMHD1+ cells from HIV-1-infected and treated patients to perform cell-associated HIV-1 DNA quantification, p24-producing cells detection, ultra-deep-sequencing of partial env (C2/V3) HIV-1 DNA and further phenotypic characterization. Our results demonstrate that (i) Th17 and CCR6+DN-expressing transcriptional signature of early Th17, two major populations that are susceptible to HIV-1 infection, are present in SAMHD1low cells, and while the former decreased significantly in c-ART HIV-1 infected compared to uninfected individuals, the latter significantly increased; (ii) memory SAMHD1low cells from c-ART patients carry high levels of HIV-1 DNA compared to SAMHD1+ cells, and these levels positively and significantly correlated with Ki67 expression; (iii) memory SAMHD1low cells from patients harbour p24-producing cells; (iv) phylogenetic analyses revealed well-segregated HIV-1 DNA populations with significant compartmentalization between SAMHD1low and SAMHD1+ cells and limited viral exchange. Our data demonstrate that memory SAMHD1low cells contribute to HIV-1 persistence.
