A case-control study of the effect of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on apoptosis pathway genes comprising 16 cases (HIV infected with mitochondrial toxicity) and 16 controls (HIV uninfected) was conducted. A total of 26 of 84 genes of the apoptosis pathway were differentially expressed. Two of the upregulated genes, DFFA and TNFRSF1A, classified 75% of study participants correctly as either a case or control. Thus, apoptosis may be in the causal pathway of ART-associated mitochondrial toxicity. These two genes could be markers for detecting and monitoring ART-induced mitochondrial toxicity.
进行了一项包含 16 例病例(感染 HIV 合并线粒体毒性)和 16 例对照(未感染 HIV)的抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)对凋亡途径基因影响的病例对照研究。共有 84 个凋亡途径基因中的 26 个基因表达存在差异。两个上调基因 DFFA 和 TNFRSF1A 可正确分类 75%的研究参与者为病例或对照。因此,凋亡可能处于 ART 相关性线粒体毒性的因果途径中。这两个基因可能是检测和监测 ART 诱导的线粒体毒性的标志物。
