The global impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been unprecedented, posing a significant public health challenge. Chronological age has been identified as a key determinant for severe outcomes associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Epigenetic age acceleration has previously been observed in various diseases including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. However, a comprehensive review of this topic is still missing in the field. In this review, we explore and summarize the research work focusing on biological aging markers, i.e., epigenetic age and telomere attrition in COVID-19 patients. From the reviewed articles, we identified a consistent pattern of epigenetic age dysregulation and shortened telomere length, revealing the impact of COVID-19 on epigenetic aging and telomere attrition.
SARS-CoV-2 大流行的全球影响前所未有,对公共健康构成重大挑战。已确定年龄是与 SARS-CoV-2 感染相关的严重后果的关键决定因素。先前在各种疾病中观察到表观遗传年龄加速,包括人类免疫缺陷病毒 (HIV)、巨细胞病毒 (CMV)、心血管疾病和癌症。然而,该领域仍缺乏对这一主题的综合审查。在这篇综述中,我们探讨并总结了关注 COVID-19 患者生物衰老标志物(即表观遗传年龄和端粒磨损)的研究工作。从综述文章中,我们发现了表观遗传年龄失调和端粒缩短的一致模式,揭示了 COVID-19 对表观遗传衰老和端粒磨损的影响。
