OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to determine associations between pre-antiretroviral therapy (ART) senescent CD8+ T lymphocytes and naïve versus non-naive CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocyte subpopulations and CD4+ responses after initiation of ART in younger versus older individuals. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 100 subjects with pre-ART cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells samples was performed with flow cytometry. Subjects were divided into four groups by age (30-50 years or > 50 years) and 96-week CD4+ response (<100 or >200 cells/mm(3)). All subjects had 96-week viral suppression to <50 copies/mm(3). Regression was utilized to investigate associations between pre-ART CD8+ and CD4+ T cell phenotypes with age and CD4+ response categories. RESULTS: Individuals <50 years had a lower frequency of senescent CD8+ T lymphocytes of the CD56 + 57+, CD56+, and CD28- phenotypes (95%CI -3.6 to -0.02; 95%CI -4.2 to -0.03; 95%CI -12.5 to -1.4, respectively) and a higher frequency of naïve (CD45RA + CD28+) CD8+ T lymphocytes (95%CI 2.6 to 10.9). Younger age and good CD4+ response were associated with a higher frequency of pre-ART naïve CD4+ T cells (95%CI 2.0 to 16.4 and 95%CI 1.5 to 15.6, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Prior to ART, younger HIV-infected individuals have a higher frequency of naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and lower frequency of senescent CD8+ T cell phenotypes.
