The effect of torque teno virus (TTV) infection on clinical outcomes, genomic integrity, and mortality in COPD patients
Introduction
Torque Teno Virus (TTV), an "orphan" virus with unclear pathology, has been associated with various diseases and immune dysfunctions. This study investigates the link between TTV viremia and clinical markers in patients with severe to very severe COPD undergoing respiratory rehabilitation.
Methods
We analyzed 102 elderly COPD patients, stratified by TTV viremia levels (< or ≥ 4 log10 copies/mL). Clinical markers—including mortality, inflammatory-oxidative parameters (Lymphocyte/Monocyte, Neutrophil/Lymphocyte, and Platelet/Lymphocyte ratios), IL-6 (measured via ELISA assay), and DNA damage (assessed via comet assay)—were evaluated.
Results
Of the patients, 62.75 % had TTV viremia levels > 4 log10 copies/mL. No associations were found between TTV levels and sex or obesity. However, higher TTV viremia correlated with increased DNA damage and significantly lower 5-year survival probability.
Conclusion
Patients with TTV levels ≥ 4 log10 copies/mL exhibited the lowest survival probability, though DNA damage emerged as a stronger determinant of outcomes. This study raises key scientific questions on the role of TTV in COPD. Specifically, it explores whether TTV may serve as a potential marker for poor prognosis in COPD and whether rehabilitation strategies for these patients could be customized based on DNA damage and/or viremia.
期刊介绍:
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at revealing the molecular, biochemical and biological mechanisms that underlie the processes of aging and development in various species as well as of age-associated diseases. Emphasis is placed on investigations that delineate the contribution of macromolecular damage and cytotoxicity, genetic programs, epigenetics and genetic instability, mitochondrial function, alterations of metabolism and innovative anti-aging approaches. For all of the mentioned studies it is necessary to address the underlying mechanisms.
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development publishes original research, review and mini-review articles. The journal also publishes Special Issues that focus on emerging research areas. Special issues may include all types of articles following peered review. Proposals should be sent directly to the Editor-in-Chief.
