Peripheral blood mononuclear cell senescence in alcohol‐associated hepatitis. Feature extraction of mitochondrial genes was followed by Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) and Seurat analysis to identify clustering by specific cell type based on mitochondrial gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from control (HC) or alcohol‐associated hepatitis (AH) subjects at baseline (n = 4 each). Schematic dot‐plot representation of single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data of comparative average expression for (A) Telomere Length; (B) Shelterin complex; (C) Shelterin‐binding genes; (D) Telomerase localisation and (E) DNA damage repair. (F) Experimental validation of telomere length in PBMC by real‐time PCR in HC (n = 13), AH (n = 72) and heavy drinkers (HD) (n = 8). (G) Hazard ratio of mortality based on telomere length in AH (n = 72).
