Long-term effects of HCV eradication on lipid profiles associated with MASLD among people with HIV with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis
Background
Despite successful hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance, some individuals continue to experience liver disease progression. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) may play a key role in this ongoing progression. This study aims to characterize the lipidomic profiles associated with MASLD in individuals coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HCV with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis after sustained virologic response (SVR).
Methods
We conducted cross-sectional studies in fifty-two HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals. Untargeted lipidomics was performed on plasma samples collected at 1 year and 6 years post-SVR using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The primary outcome was MASLD. Statistical analyses included orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and generalized linear models (GLM), with corrections for multiple comparisons.
Results
The prevalence of MASLD was 28.9 % one year after SVR, increasing to 44.8 % six years after SVR. OPLS-DA models identified 225 lipids at 1 year and 167 at 6 years, with a VIP score ≥ 1, distinguishing individuals based on MASLD status. Adjusted GLMs confirmed significant associations between MASLD and 116 lipids at 1 year and 49 at 6 years. At 1 year, most significant lipids were glycerophospholipids (GP), with increased phosphatidylcholines (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), and decreased lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) and lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPE). By 6 years, LPC was the most abundant differential lipid, while triglycerides increased significantly.
Conclusions
MASLD was common during follow-up, with changes in lipidomic profiles over time suggesting ongoing metabolic disturbances that may contribute to liver disease progression despite SVR. These findings highlight the need for long-term metabolic and liver health monitoring after HCV eradication in these individuals.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
