Transient Viral Rebound in Children with Perinatally Acquired HIV-1 Induces a Unique Soluble Immunometabolic Signature Associated with Decreased CD4/CD8 Ratio

Laura Tarancon-Diez et al.

Summary: The study examined the changes in metabolites, lipids, and proteins in children with perinatally acquired HIV-1 (PHIV) following transient viral rebound (tVR). The results showed a decrease in the CD4/CD8 ratio in children with tVR. Significant differences were observed in certain soluble proteins, lipids, and metabolites after tVR, which correlated with immunological parameters, specifically the CD4/CD8 ratio.

Metabolomic changes after DAAs therapy are related to the improvement of cirrhosis and inflammation in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients

Ana Virseda-Berdices et al.

Summary: The plasma metabolomic profile of HIV/HCV-coinfected patients with advanced HCV-related cirrhosis changed after HCV clearance with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). The changes in plasma levels of LPC(20:4), 2-keto-n-caproic acid/2-keto-isocaproic acid, and taurocholic acid were associated with improvements in cirrhosis scores and inflammatory status of patients.

Real-Life Early Anthropometric, Lipid and Liver Changes after Direct-Acting Antiviral Therapy in PLWHIV with HCV Co-Infection

Sergio Ferra-Murcia et al.

Summary: DAAs treatment has early negative impact on lipid metabolism, while achieving SVR12 against HCV leads to early improvement in liver function and LS in HCV/HIV co-infected patients without interference with ART and DAAs.

Summary: DAA treatment improves plasma lipid levels and glycemic control in patients with HCV. Additionally, iron metabolism and coagulation function also improved. While two cardiovascular events were observed, overall DAA treatment did not increase the risk of cardiovascular events.

Clinical, Immunological, and Virological Outcomes Among Youths With Perinatal HIV After Transition to Adult Units in Spain From 1997 to 2016

David Aguilera-Alonso et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the clinical and immunovirological status of patients with perinatal HIV after transitioning to adult care. The findings show that virological suppression improved in the early transition periods, but some patients had a higher risk of worse outcomes. Identifying these high-risk patients may help improve their transition process.

Anthropometric parameters and liver histology influence lipid metabolic changes in HCV chronic hepatitis on direct-acting antiviral treatment

Domenico Iossa et al.

Summary: In patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), eradication of HCV leads to a pro-atherogenic lipid pattern. Changes in lipid metabolism depend on anthropometric parameters and liver histology. However, there is no significant increase in cardiovascular risk indexes in the short-term.

Innate and adaptive abnormalities in youth with vertically acquired HIV through a multicentre cohort in Spain

Itziar Carrasco et al.

Summary: Immune abnormalities were observed among youth with vertically acquired HIV despite ART, with high levels of activation and exhaustion in both T and NK cells. The CD4/CD8 ratio and age at ART initiation were associated with immune activation and exhaustion levels, indicating potential markers of disease progression.

Modifications of CD4 T cells, CD4/CD8 ratio and serum levels of soluble CD14 in HIV-HCV-coinfected patients after sustained HCV response induced by direct-acting antiviral agents: influence of liver cirrhosis

Jose-Antonio Giron-Ortega et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the changes in CD4 T cell modifications, CD4/CD8 ratio, and serum levels of sCD14 in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients after treatment with direct anti-HCV antiviral agents. Results showed significant increases in CD4 T cell count and percentage only in individuals without liver cirrhosis, supporting the idea that treatment against HCV in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients is needed in the early phases of liver disease.

Short- and Long-Term Immunological Responses in Chronic HCV/HIV Co-Infected Compared to HCV Mono-Infected Patients after DAA Therapy

Stefania Farcomeni et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of HCV eradication following DAA therapy on the immune system and liver disease improvement among HCV mono-infected and HCV/HIV co-infected patients. Although patients achieved SVR 12, immune activation state remained elevated for a long time after DAA therapy, while liver-specific outcomes improved, highlighting distinct immunophenotypic and inflammatory biomarker profiles between the patient groups.

Early antiretroviral therapy initiation effect on metabolic profile in vertically HIV-1-infected children

Laura Tarancon-Diez et al.

Summary: This study characterized the proteomic, lipidomic, and metabolomic profiles of HIV-1-infected children based on the age at which they initiated cART. Differences in protein signatures were observed between early and late cART initiators, suggesting potential implications for metabolic disorders and non-AIDS conditions in this population. The findings underscore the importance of early antiretroviral treatment initiation in preventing long-term complications in perinatally acquired HIV-1-infected children.
