PPARγ Cistrome Repression during Activation of Lung Monocyte-Macrophages in Severe COVID-19.


ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanisms of cytokine storm in patients with severe COVID-19 infections are poorly understood. To uncover these events, we performed transcriptome analyses of lung biopsies from patients with COVID-19, revealing a gene enrichment pattern similar to that of PPARγ-knockout macrophages. Single-cell gene expression analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluids revealed a characteristic trajectory of PPARγ-related disturbance in the CD14+/CD16+ cells. We identified a correlation with the disease severity and the reduced expression of several members of the PPARγ complex such as EP300, RXRA, RARA, SUMO1, NR3C1, and CCDC88A. ChIP-seq analyses confirmed repression of the PPARγ-RXRA-NR3C1 cistrome in COVID-19 lung samples. Further analysis of protein-protein networks highlighted an interaction between the PPARγ-associated protein SUMO1 and a nucleoprotein of the SARS virus. Overall, these results demonstrate for the first time the involvement of the PPARγ complex in severe COVID-19 lung disease and suggest strongly its role in the major monocyte/macrophage-mediated inflammatory storm.
