Rare loss-of-function variants in type I IFN immunity genes are not associated with severe COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: A recent report found that rare predicted loss-of-function (pLOF) variants across 13 candidate genes in TLR3- and IRF7-dependent type I IFN pathways explain up to 3.5% of severe COVID-19 cases. We performed whole-exome or whole-genome sequencing of 1,864 COVID-19 cases (713 with severe and 1,151 with mild disease) and 15,033 ancestry-matched population controls across 4 independent COVID-19 biobanks. We tested whether rare pLOF variants in these 13 genes were associated with severe COVID-19. We identified only 1 rare pLOF mutation across these genes among 713 cases with severe COVID-19 and observed no enrichment of pLOFs in severe cases compared to population controls or mild COVID-19 cases. We found no evidence of association of rare LOF variants in the 13 candidate genes with severe COVID-19 outcomes.

Drivers genes in severe forms of COVID-19

Project description:The etiology of severe forms of COVID19, especially in young patients, remains a salient unanswered question. Here we build on a 3-tier cohort where all individuals/patients were strictly below 50 years of age and where a number of comorbidities were excluded at study onset. Besides healthy controls (N=22), these include patients in the intensive care unit with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) (“critical group”; N=47), and those in a non-critical care ward under supplemental oxygen (“non-critical group”, N=25). This highly curated cohort allowed us to perform a deep multi-omics approach which included whole genome sequencing, whole blood RNA-sequencing, plasma and peripheral-blood mononuclear cells proteomics, multiplex cytokine profiling, mass-cytometry-based immune cell profiling in conjunction with viral parameters i.e. anti-SARS-Cov-2 neutralizing antibodies and multi-target antiviral serology. Critical patients were characterized by an exacerbated inflammatory state, perturbed lymphoid and myeloid cell compartments, signatures of dysregulated blood coagulation and active regulation of viral entry into the cells. A unique gene signature that differentiates critical from non-critical patients was identified by an ensemble machine learning, deep learning and quantum computing approach. Within this gene network, Structural Causal Modeling identified several ARDS driver genes, among which the up-regulated metalloprotease ADAM9 seems to be a key driver. Inhibition of ADAM9 ex vivo interfered with SARS-Cov-2 uptake and replication in human epithelial cells. Hence we apply a machine learning approach to identify driver genes for severe forms of COVID-19 in a small, uncluttered cohort of patients.

Immunophenotyping of COVID-19 and Influenza Underscores the Association of Type I IFN Response in Severe COVID-19

Project description:Although most SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals experience mild COVID-19, some patients suffer from severe COVID-19, which is accompanied by acute respiratory distress syndrome and systemic inflammation. To identify factors driving severe progression of COVID-19, we performed single-cell RNA-seq using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from healthy donors, patients with mild or severe COVID-19, and patients with severe influenza. Patients with COVID-19 exhibited hyper-inflammatory signatures across all types of cells among PBMCs, particularly upregulation of the TNF/IL-1beta-driven inflammatory response as compared to severe influenza. In classical monocytes from patients with severe COVID-19, type I IFN response co-existed with the TNF/IL-1beta-driven inflammation, and this was not seen in patients with milder COVID-19 infection. Based on this, we propose that the type I IFN response exacerbates inflammation in patients with severe COVID-19 infection.

Systems biological assessment of immunity to severe and mild COVID-19 infections

Project description:The recent emergence of COVID-19 presents a major global crisis. Profound knowledge gaps remain about the interaction between the virus and the immune system. Here, we used a systems biology approach to analyze immune responses in 76 COVID-19 patients and 69 age and sex- matched controls, from Hong Kong and Atlanta. Mass cytometry revealed prolonged plasmablast and effector T cell responses, reduced myeloid expression of HLA-DR and inhibition of mTOR signaling in plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) during infection. Production of pro-inflammatory cytokines plasma levels of inflammatory mediators, including EN-RAGE, TNFSF14, and Oncostatin-M, which correlated with disease severity, and increased bacterial DNA and endotoxin in plasma in and reduced HLA-DR and CD86 but enhanced EN-RAGE expression in myeloid cells in severe transient expression of IFN stimulated genes in moderate infections, consistent with transcriptomic analysis of bulk PBMCs, that correlated with transient and low levels of plasma COVID-19.

β-hydroxybutyrate restores T cell metabolism and function in severe COVID-19

Project description:Anorexia and fasting are host adaptations to acute infection, inducing a metabolic switch towards ketogenesis and the production of ketone bodies, including β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). However, whether ketogenesis metabolically influences the immune response in pulmonary infections remains unclear. Here we report impaired production of BHB in humans with SARS-CoV-2-induced but not influenza-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). BHB promotes the survival and the production of Interferon-g from CD4+ T cells. Using metabolic tracing analysis, we uncovered that BHB provides an alternative carbon source to fuel oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and the production of bioenergetic amino acids and glutathione, which is important for maintaining the redox balance. T cells from patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS were exhausted and skewed towards glycolysis, but can be metabolically reprogrammed by BHB to perform OXPHOS, thereby increasing their functionality. Finally, we find that ketogenic diet (KD) reduced pulmonary fibrosis, a feature particular pronounced in COVID-19 ARDS and delivery of BHB as ketone ester drink reduces the mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infected mice. Altogether, our data suggest that impaired ketogenesis in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection accounts, at least partially for disease progression and that supplementation ketone ester might represent an easy-to-implement treatment to improve the clinical outcome of COVID-19 patients.
