DNA viruses including CMV, EBV, and HBV are described as upregulating p16, p21, and p53 and inducing inflammaging, metabolic reprogramming, replicative senescence, and telomere shortening.
RNA viruses including HCV and HIV are described as inducing ROS generation, DNA damage, SASP, metabolic reprogramming, G1 cell-cycle arrest, telomere shortening, and epigenetic modification.
The review presents chronic viral infections as shared drivers of immunosenescence and atherogenesis through inflammation, sustained cytokine signaling, ROS generation, and DNA damage.
