Mitochondrial Abnormalities in Patients with HIV-HCV Co-infection as Compared to Patients with HCV Mono-infection

Abstract: HCV has deleterious effects on liver mitochondrial metabolism, notably on respiratory chain complex IV. No significant interaction with HIV was observed.

“…Two possible explanations for the non-significant changes in TAOs among all groups are: 1) induction of antioxidant mechanisms because of the disease to counteract the generated oxidative stressors, and 2) the increases in the highly antioxidant bilirubin in patients. TAOs and MDA showed a significant negative correlation in HCV-NE patients similar to previous studies [6,9,11,28]. In the cirrhotic patients, there was a positive significant correlation between TAOs and total peroxides.…”

“…HCV infection induces transcriptional downregulations that affects mainly mitochondrial respiratory chain complex core subunit genes. This induces metabolic reprogramming and aerobic glycolysis with lactate accumulation and enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species [11,16]. HCV viral-protein expression and infection severely impair mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation leading to major reliance on nonoxidative glucose metabolism.…”

“…Although this is the first time that alterations on respiratory complexes are investigated in SinV infection, it was shown recently that patients infected with hepatitis C virus and HIV presented alterations on liver mitochondrial respiratory functions due to a decrease in Complex IV (CIV) activity [44]. Since CI- and CII-dependent ETS capacity deteriorated as SinV infection progresses and was severely compromised at 24 h, a defect on CIV might be suggested [34].…”

“…For example, the core protein of HCV reduces the activity of electron transport protein Cx I and stimulates the production of ROS in liver mitochondria . Similarly, patients coinfected with HIV and HCV display more serious metabolic aberrations in liver mitochondria due to compromised Cx IV activity than do patients infected with HCV alone . Similarly, infection with rabies virus increases the activity of Cx I and Cx IV in neurons , and an increase in Cx I activity correlates with susceptibility to rabies virus infection and the presence of a rabies virus phosphoprotein, together with mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS generation .…”
