Circulating ubiquitous RNA, a highly predictive and prognostic biomarker in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Approximately 15-30% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome, systemic tissue injury, and/or multi-organ failure leading to death in around 45% of cases. There is a clear need for biomarkers which quantify tissue injury, predict clinical outcomes and guide the clinical management of hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Methods

We herein report the quantification by droplet-based digital PCR (ddPCR) of the SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia and the plasmatic release of a ubiquitous human intracellular marker, the ribonuclease P (RNase P) in order to evaluate tissue injury and cell lysis in the plasma of 139 COVID-19 hospitalized patients at admission.

Results

We confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia was associated with clinical severity of COVID-19 patients. In addition, we showed that plasmatic RNase P RNAemia at admission was also highly correlated with disease severity (P<0.001) and invasive mechanical ventilation status (P<0.001) but not with pulmonary severity. Altogether, these results indicate a consequent cell lysis process in severe and critical patients but not systematically due to lung cell death. Finally, the plasmatic RNase P RNA value was also significantly associated with overall survival.

Conclusion

Viral and ubiquitous blood biomarkers monitored by ddPCR could be useful for the clinical monitoring and the management of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Moreover, these results could pave the way for new and more personalized circulating biomarkers in COVID-19, and more generally in infectious diseases, specific from each patient organ injury profile.

Longitudinal characterization of circulating neutrophils uncovers phenotypes associated with severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Project description:Mechanisms of neutrophil involvement in severe COVID-19 remain incompletely understood. Here we collect longitudinal blood samples from 306 hospitalized COVID-19+ patients and 86 controls, and perform bulk RNA-sequencing of enriched neutrophils, plasma proteomics, and high-throughput antibody profiling to investigate relationships between neutrophil states and disease severity. We identify dynamic switches between 6 distinct neutrophil subtypes. At days 3 and 7 post-hospitalization, patients with severe disease display a granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell-like gene expression signature, while patients with resolving disease show a neutrophil progenitor-like signature. Humoral responses are identified as potential drivers of neutrophil effector functions, with elevated SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG1-to-IgA1 ratios in plasma of severe patients who survived. In vitro experiments confirm that while patient-derived IgG antibodies induce phagocytosis in healthy donor neutrophils, IgA antibodies predominantly induce neutrophil cell death. Overall, our study demonstrates a dysregulated myelopoietic response in severe COVID-19 and a potential role for IgA-dominant responses contributing to mortality.

microRNA profiling in the plasma of hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be asymptomatic or lead to a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild upper respiratory system involvement to acute respiratory distress syndrome, multi-organ damage and death. In this study, we explored the potential of microRNAs (miRNA) in delineating patient condition and in predicting clinical outcome. Analysis of the circulating miRNA profile of COVID-19 patients, sampled at different hospitalization intervals after admission, allowed to identify miR-144-3p as a dynamically regulated miRNA in response to COVID-19.

Circulating tumor cells in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients: a valuable prognostic and predictive biomarker.

Project description:BACKGROUND: This study was initiated to investigate the prognostic significance of circulating tumor cell (CTC) enumeration and the predictive value of CTC HER2 expression for efficient anti-HER2 therapy in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. METHODS: Sixty HER2-positive MBC patients were enrolled in the present study. Before the initiation of systemic treatment, CTCs from 7.5 ml of blood were analyzed using the CellSearch system. The progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients was estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. RESULTS: CTCs were detected in 45% (27/60) of the patients, who had shorter median PFS than those without CTCs (2.5 vs. 7.5 months, P=0.0125). Furthermore, referring to the standard HER2 testing that uses immunohistochemistry (IHC), we proposed a CTC HER2-positive criterion, defined as >30% of CTCs over-expressing HER2. Among patients undergoing anti-HER2 therapy, those with HER2-positive CTCs had longer PFS (8.8 vs. 2.5 months, P=0.002). Among patients with HER2-positive CTCs, the median PFS for those receiving anti-HER2 therapy was significantly longer than those who were not (8.8 vs. 1.5 months, P=0.001). Notably, up to 52% (14/27) of the HER2-positive patients were CTC HER2-negative, and anti-HER2 therapy did not significantly improve the median PFS in these patients (2.5 vs. 0.9 months, P=0.499). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings underscore the necessity of a comprehensive CTC analysis, which may provide valuable prognostic and predictive information for optimizing individually tailored therapies in HER2-positive MBC patients. To test this idea, additional large cohort, multi-center and prospective clinical trials are needed.

Circulating adipokine levels and COVID-19 severity in hospitalized patients.

Project description:BackgroundObesity is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in COVID-19, potentially driven by chronic inflammatory state due to dysregulated secretion of adipokines and cytokines. We investigated the association between plasma adipokines and COVID-19 severity, systemic inflammation, clinical parameters, and outcome of COVID-19 patients.MethodsIn this multi-centre prospective cross-sectional study, we collected blood samples and clinical data from COVID-19 patients. The severity of COVID-19 was classified as mild (no hospital admission), severe (ward admission), and critical (ICU admission). ICU non-COVID-19 patients were also included and plasma from healthy age, sex, and BMI-matched individuals obtained from Lifelines. Multi-analyte profiling of plasma adipokines (Leptin, Adiponectin, Resistin, Visfatin) and inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNFα, IL-10) were determined using Luminex multiplex assays.ResultsBetween March and December 2020, 260 SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals (age: 65 [56-74] BMI 27.0 [24.4-30.6]) were included: 30 mild, 159 severe, and 71 critical patients. Circulating leptin levels were reduced in critically ill patients with a high BMI yet this decrease was absent in patients that were administered dexamethasone. Visfatin levels were higher in critical COVID-19 patients compared to non-COVID-ICU, mild and severe patients (4.7 vs 3.4, 3.0, and 3.72 ng/mL respectively, p < 0.05). Lower Adiponectin levels, but higher Resistin levels were found in severe and critical patients, compared to those that did not require hospitalization (3.65, 2.7 vs 7.9 µg/mL, p < 0.001, and 18.2, 22.0 vs 11.0 ng/mL p < 0.001).ConclusionCirculating adipokine levels are associated with COVID-19 hospitalization, i.e., the need for oxygen support (general ward), or the need for mechanical ventilation and other organ support in the ICU, but not mortality.

Prognostic Value of Troponin Elevation in COVID-19 Hospitalized Patients.

Project description:(1) Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) penetrates the respiratory epithelium through angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) binding. Myocardial and endothelial expression of ACE2 could account for the growing body of reported evidence of myocardial injury in severe forms of Human Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to provide insight into the impact of troponin (hsTnI) elevation on SARS-CoV-2 outcomes in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. (2) Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of hospitalized adult patients with the SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to a university hospital in France. The observation period ended at hospital discharge. (3) Results: During the study period, 772 adult, symptomatic COVID-19 patients were hospitalized for more than 24 h in our institution, of whom 375 had a hsTnI measurement and were included in this analysis. The median age was 66 (55-74) years, and there were 67% of men. Overall, 205 (55%) patients were placed under mechanical ventilation and 90 (24%) died. A rise in hsTnI was noted in 34% of the cohort, whereas only three patients had acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and one case of myocarditis. Death occurred more frequently in patients with hsTnI elevation (HR 3.95, 95% CI 2.69-5.71). In the multivariate regression model, a rise in hsTnI was independently associated with mortality (OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.49-6.65) as well as age ≥ 65 years old (OR 3.17, 95% CI 1.45-7.18) and CRP ≥ 100 mg/L (OR 3.62, 95% CI 1.12-13.98). After performing a sensitivity analysis for the missing values of hsTnI, troponin elevation remained independently and significantly associated with death (OR 3.84, 95% CI 1.78-8.28). (4) Conclusion: Our study showed a four-fold increased risk of death in the case of a rise in hsTnI, underlining the prognostic value of troponin assessment in the COVID-19 context.

Secondary infections in patients hospitalized with COVID-19: incidence and predictive factors.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of our study was to describe the incidence and predictive factors of secondary infections in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).MethodsThis was a cohort study of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital between 25th February and 6th April 2020 (NCT04318366). We considered secondary bloodstream infections (BSIs) or possible lower respiratory tract infections (pLRTIs) occurring 48 hours after hospital admission until death or discharge. We calculated multivariable Fine-Gray models to assess factors associated with risk of secondary infections.ResultsAmong 731 patients, a secondary infection was diagnosed in 68 patients (9.3%); 58/731 patients (7.9%) had at least one BSI and 22/731 patients (3.0%) at least one pLRTI. The overall 28-day cumulative incidence was 16.4% (95%CI 12.4-21.0%). Most of the BSIs were due to Gram-positive pathogens (76/106 isolates, 71.7%), specifically coagulase-negative staphylococci (53/76, 69.7%), while among Gram-negatives (23/106, 21.7%) Acinetobacter baumanii (7/23, 30.4%) and Escherichia coli (5/23, 21.7%) predominated. pLRTIs were caused mainly by Gram-negative pathogens (14/26, 53.8%). Eleven patients were diagnosed with putative invasive aspergillosis. At multivariable analysis, factors associated with secondary infections were low baseline lymphocyte count (≤0.7 versus >0.7 per 109/L, subdistribution hazard ratios (sdHRs) 1.93, 95%CI 1.11-3.35), baseline PaO2/FiO2 (per 100 points lower: sdHRs 1.56, 95%CI 1.21-2.04), and intensive-care unit (ICU) admission in the first 48 hours (sdHR 2.51, 95%CI 1.04-6.05).ConclusionsPatients hospitalized with COVID-19 had a high incidence of secondary infections. At multivariable analysis, early need for ICU, respiratory failure, and severe lymphopenia were identified as risk factors for secondary infections.

sCXCL16 as a prognostic biomarker for COVID-19 outcome.

Project description:As elevated levels of the soluble CXCL16 (sCXCL16) chemokine have been reported in severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, this study examined whether sCXCL16 concentration on the first day of hospitalization predicted death in COVID-19 patients. A total of 76 patients with COVID-19 were admitted to the Military Hospital of Tunis, Tunisia, between October 2020 and April 2021, and later classified as survivors or nonsurvivors based on their outcomes. At admission, the groups were matched by age, gender, comorbidities, and the percentage of patients with moderate conditions. On the first day of admission, serum's sCXCL16 concentrations were measured using a magnetic-bead assay. There was an eightfold increase in serum sCXCL16 levels in the nonsurvivors' group (3661.51 ± 2464.87 pg/mL vs. 454.3 ± 338.07 pg/mL, p < 0.0001). For the optimal cutoff value of sCXCL16 at 2095 pg/mL, we found a 94.6% sensitivity and a 97.4% specificity, with an area under curve of 0.981 (p = 5.03E-08; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.951-1.0114). Considering the risk of death at a concentration above the threshold, the unadjusted odds ratio was 36 (p < 0.0001). The adjusted odd ratio was estimated at 1.003 (p < 0.0001; 95% CI: 1.002-1.004). Finally, there was a significant difference between survival and nonsurvival groups in leukocyte numbers (p = 0.006), lymphocytes (p = 0.001), polymorphonuclear neutrophils (p = 0.001), and C-reactive protein levels (p = 0.007), except for monocytes (p = 0.881). Based on these results, sCXCL16 level could be used for detecting nonsurvival COVID-19 patients. Therefore, we recommend assessing this marker in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
