Abstract

Abstract Risk stratification using multi‐omics data deepens understanding of immunometabolism in successfully treated people with HIV (PWH) is inadequately explained. A personalized medicine approach integrating blood cell transcriptomics, plasma proteomics, and metabolomics is employed to identify the mechanisms of immunometabolic complications in prolonged treated PWH from the COCOMO cohort. Among the PWHs, 44% of PWH are at risk of experiencing immunometabolic complications identified using the network‐based patient stratification method. Utilizing advanced machine learning techniques and a Bayesian classifier, five plasma protein biomarkers; Tubulin Folding Cofactor B (TBCB), Gamma‐Glutamylcyclotransferase (GGCT), Taxilin Alpha (TXLNA), Pyridoxal Phosphate Binding Protein (PLPBP) and Large Tumor Suppressor Kinase 1 (LATS1) are identified as highly differentially abundant between healthy control (HC)‐like and immunometabolically at‐risk PWHs (all FDR<10−10). The personalized metabolic models predict metabolic perturbations, revealing disruptions in central carbon metabolic fluxes and host tryptophan metabolism in at‐risk phenotype. Functional assays in primary cells and cortical forebrain organoids (FBOs) further validate this. Metabolic perturbations lead to persistent monocyte activation, thereby impairing their functions ex vivo. Furthermore, the chronic inflammatory plasma microenvironment contributes to synaptic dysregulation in FBOs. The endogenous plasma inflammatory microenvironment is responsible for chronic inflammation in treated immunometabolically complicated at‐risk PWH who have a higher risk of cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric disorders.
