Tenofovir/emtricitabine metabolites and endogenous nucleotide exposures are associated with p16(INK4a) expression in subjects on combination therapy
HIV may amplify immunological, physiological and functional changes of ageing. We determined associations of frailty phenotype, a T-cell senescence marker (p16(INK4a) expression), age and demographics with exposures of the intracellular metabolites (IM) and endogenous nucleotides (EN) of tenofovir/e...

Summary: | HIV may amplify immunological, physiological and functional changes of ageing. We determined associations of frailty phenotype, a T-cell senescence marker (p16(INK4a) expression), age and demographics with exposures of the intracellular metabolites (IM) and endogenous nucleotides (EN) of tenofovir/emtricitabine (TFV/FTC), efavirenz (EFV), atazanavir (ATV) and ritonavir (RTV).
Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples for drug, IM and EN concentrations were collected at four time points in HIV+ adults receiving TFV/FTC with EFV or ATV/RTV. Subjects underwent frailty phenotyping and p16(INK4a) expression analysis. Non-compartmental analysis generated an area under the curve (AUC) for each analyte. Spearman rank correlation and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to assess associations between AUC, demographics and ageing markers, adjusting for multiple comparisons with the Holm procedure.
Subjects (n=79) ranged in age from 22-73 years (median 48 years); 48 were African-American, 24 were female, 54 received EFV. Three subjects (range 51-60 years) demonstrated frailty, with 17 subjects (range 26-60 years) demonstrating pre-frailty. Negative associations were observed between p16(INK4a) expression and each of FTC-triphosphate (r=-0.45), deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP; r=-0.47) and deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP; r=-0.57) AUCs (P-values |
