Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles with a role in intercellular communication. Cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) has been associated with cognitive dysfunction in people with HIV (PWH). We conducted a nested case-control study to test the hypothesis that plasma EVs are associated with cf-mtDNA and cognitive dysfunction in older PWH. A machine learning-based model identified total EVs, including select EV subpopulations, as well as urine cf-mtDNA and 4-meter walk time carry power to predict the neurocognitive impairment. These features resulted in an AUC-ROC of 0.845 + / - 0.109 (0.615, 1.00).
细胞外囊泡 (EVs) 是一种在细胞间通讯中起作用的纳米颗粒。无细胞线粒体 DNA (cf-mtDNA) 与 HIV 感染者 (PWH) 的认知功能障碍有关。我们进行了一项巢式病例对照研究,以检验血浆 EVs 与 cf-mtDNA 和老年 PWH 认知功能障碍相关的假设。基于机器学习的模型确定了总 EVs,包括选择的 EV 亚群,以及尿 cf-mtDNA 和 4 米步行时间携带的能力来预测神经认知障碍。这些特征导致 AUC-ROC 为 0.845 + / - 0.109 (0.615, 1.00)。
