K1 human immunodeficiency virus K1 elite controllers K1 inflammation K1 plasma biomarkers K1 acquired immune deficiency syndrome K1 progression AB Our aim was to analyze the relationship between plasma inflammatory biomarkers andCD4+ T-cells evolution in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) elite controllers (HIVECs) with a suppressed viremia. We carried out a retrospective study in 30 HIV-ECsclassified into two groups: those showing no significant loss of CD4+ T-cells during theobservation period (stable CD4+, n = 19) and those showing a significant decreaseof CD4+ T-cells (decline CD4+, n = 11). Baseline plasma biomarkers were measuredusing a multiplex immunoassay: sTNF-R1, TRAIL, sFas (APO), sFasL, TNF-α, TNF-β,IL-8, IL-18, IL-6, IL-10, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, RANTES, SDF1α, GRO-α, andCCL11. Baseline levels of sTNF-R1 and CCL11 and sTNF-R1/TNF-α ratio correlatedwith the slope of CD4+ T-cells (cells/μl/year) during follow-up [r = −0.370 (p = 0.043),r = −0.314 (p = 0.091), and r = −0.381 (p = 0.038); respectively]. HIV-ECs with decliningCD4+ T-cells had higher baseline plasma levels of sTNF-R1 [1,500.7 (555.7; 2,060.7)pg/ml vs. 450.8 (227.9; 1,263.9) pg/ml; p = 0.018] and CCL11 [29.8 (23.5; 54.9) vs.19.2 (17.8; 29.9) pg/ml; p = 0.041], and sTNF-R1/TNF-α ratio [84.7 (33.2; 124.2) vs.25.9 (16.3; 75.1); p = 0.012] than HIV-1 ECs with stable CD4+ T-cells. The area underthe receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve [area under ROC curve (AUROC)] were0.758 ± 0.093 (sTNF-R1), 0.727 ± 0.096 (CCL11), and 0.777 ± 0.087 (sTNF-R1/TNF-α).The cut-off of 75th percentile (high values) for these biomarkers had 71.4% positivepredictive value and 73.9% negative predictive value for anticipating the evolution ofCD4+ T-cells. In conclusion, the loss of CD4+ T-cells in HIV-ECs was associated withhigher levels of two plasma inflammatory biomarkers (sTNF-R1 and CCL11), which werealso reasonably accurate for the prediction of the CD4+ T-cells loss.
