Age Related Differences in Monocyte Subsets and Cytokine Pattern during Acute COVID-19-A Prospective Observational Longitudinal Study.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic drastically highlighted the vulnerability of the elderly population towards viral and other infectious threats, illustrating that aging is accompanied by dysregulated immune responses currently summarized in terms like inflammaging and immunoparalysis. To gain a better understanding on the underlying mechanisms of the age-associated risk of adverse outcome in individuals experiencing a SARS-CoV-2 infection, we analyzed the impact of age on circulating monocyte phenotypes, activation markers and inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the context of COVID-19 disease progression and outcome in 110 patients. Our data indicate no age-associated differences in peripheral monocyte counts or subset composition. However, age and outcome are associated with differences in monocyte activation status. Moreover, a distinct cytokine pattern of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF in elderly survivors versus non-survivors, which consolidates over the time of hospitalization, suggests that older patients with adverse outcomes experience an inappropriate immune response, reminiscent of an inflammaging driven immunoparalysis. Our study underscores the value, necessity and importance of longitudinal monitoring in elderly COVID-19 patients, as dynamic changes after symptom onset can be observed, which allow for a differentiated insight into confounding factors that impact the complex pathogenesis following an infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Age-dependent alterations of monocyte subsets and monocyte-related chemokine pathways in healthy adults.

Project description:BackgroundRecent experimental approaches have unraveled essential migratory and functional differences of monocyte subpopulations in mice. In order to possibly translate these findings into human physiology and pathophysiology, human monocyte subsets need to be carefully revisited in health and disease. In analogy to murine studies, we hypothesized that human monocyte subsets dynamically change during ageing, potentially influencing their functionality and contributing to immunosenescence.ResultsCirculating monocyte subsets, surface marker and chemokine receptor expression were analyzed in 181 healthy volunteers (median age 42, range 18-88). Unlike the unaffected total leukocyte or total monocyte counts, non-classical CD14+CD16+ monocytes significantly increased with age, but displayed reduced HLA-DR and CX(3)CR1 surface expression in the elderly. Classical CD14++CD16- monocyte counts did not vary dependent on age. Serum MCP-1 (CCL2), but not MIP1alpha (CCL3), MIP1beta (CCL4) or fractalkine (CX(3)CL1) concentrations increased with age. Monocyte-derived macrophages from old or young individuals did not differ with respect to cytokine release in vitro at steady state or upon LPS stimulation.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates dynamic changes of circulating monocytes during ageing in humans. The expansion of the non-classical CD14+CD16+ subtype, alterations of surface protein and chemokine receptor expression as well as circulating monocyte-related chemokines possibly contribute to the preserved functionality of the monocyte pool throughout adulthood.

Flow cytometric gating for spleen monocyte and DC subsets: differences in autoimmune NOD mice and with acute inflammation.

Project description:The role of antigen presenting cells (APCs) in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and other inflammatory diseases is now better understood due to advances in multicolor flow cytometry, gene expression analysis of APC populations, and functional correlation of mouse to human APC populations. A simple but informative nomenclature of conventional and plasmacytoid dendritic cell subsets (cDC1, cDC2, pDC) and monocyte-derived populations incorporates these advances, but accurate subset identification is critical. Ambiguous gating schemes and alterations of cell surface markers in inflammatory condition can make comparing results between studies difficult. Both acute inflammation, such as TLR-ligand stimulation, and chronic inflammation as found in mouse models of autoimmunity can alter DC subset gating. Here, we address these issues using in vivo CpG stimulation as an example of acute inflammation and the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse as a model of chronic inflammation.We provide a flow cytometric antibody panel and gating scheme that differentiate 2 monocytic and 3DC subsets in the spleen both at steady state and after CpG stimulation. Using this method, we observed differences in the composition of NOD DCs that have been previously reported, and newly identified increases in the number of NOD monocyte-derived DCs. Finally, we established a protocol for DC phosphoflow to measure the phosphorylation state of intracellular proteins, and use it to confirm functional differences in the identified subsets. Therefore, we present optimized methods for distinguishing monocytic and DC populations with and without inflammation and/or autoimmunity associated with NOD mice.

Monocyte Subsets and Inflammatory Cytokines in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.

Project description:Distinct monocyte subsets predict cardiovascular risk and contribute to heart failure progression in murine models, but they have not been examined in clinical acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).Blood samples were obtained from 11 healthy control subjects (HCs) and at admission and discharge from 19 ADHF patients. Serologic markers of inflammation were assessed at admission and discharge. Monocyte populations were defined with the use of flow cytometry for cell-surface expression of CD14 and CD16: CD14++CD16- (classic), CD14++CD16+ (intermediate), and CD14+CD16++ (nonclassic). In ADHF patients, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were higher compared with HCs (both P?<?.001) and decreased from admission to discharge (CRP: 12.1?±?10.1 to 8.6?±?8.4?mg/L [P?=?.005]; IL-6: 19.8?±?34.5 to 7.1?±?4.7?pg/mL [P?=?.08]). In ADHF patients, the admission proportion of CD14++CD16- monocytes was lower (68% vs 85%; P?<?.001) and that of CD14++CD16+ (15% vs 8%; P?=?.002) and CD14+CD16++ (17% vs 7%, P?=?.07) monocytes higher compared with HCs. Additionally, the proportion of CD14++CD16- monocytes increased (68% to 79%, P?=?.04) and the CD14+CD16++ monocytes decreased (17% to 7%, P?=?.049) between admission and discharge.Following standard treatment of ADHF, the monocyte profile and circulating inflammatory markers shifts to more closely resemble those of HC, suggesting a resolution of the acute inflammatory state. Functional studies are warranted to understand how specific monocyte subsets and systemic inflammation may contribute to ADHF pathophysiology.

Age-dependent differences in pulmonary host responses in ARDS: a prospective observational cohort study.

Project description:BackgroundResults from preclinical studies suggest that age-dependent differences in host defense and the pulmonary renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are responsible for observed differences in epidemiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) between children and adults. The present study compares biomarkers of host defense and RAS in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from neonates, children, adults, and older adults with ARDS.MethodsIn this prospective observational study, we enrolled mechanical ventilated ARDS patients categorized into four age groups: 20 neonates (<?28 days corrected postnatal age), 29 children (28 days-18 years), 26 adults (18-65 years), and 17 older adults (>?65 years of age). All patients underwent a nondirected BAL within 72 h after intubation. Activities of the two main enzymes of RAS, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and ACE2, and levels of biomarkers of inflammation, endothelial activation, and epithelial damage were determined in BAL fluid.ResultsLevels of myeloperoxidase, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and p-selectin were higher with increasing age, whereas intercellular adhesion molecule-1 was higher in neonates. No differences in activity of ACE and ACE2 were seen between the four age groups.ConclusionsAge-dependent differences in the levels of biomarkers in lungs of ARDS patients are present. Especially, higher levels of markers involved in the neutrophil response were found with increasing age. In contrast to preclinical studies, age is not associated with changes in the pulmonary RAS.

Monocyte phenotype indicates a poor prognosis in paracetamol (acetaminophen) induced acute liver failure but not in non-ae hepatitis: a prospective observational cohort study

Project description:Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare but serious medical syndrome associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) hepatotoxicity is the most common cause in many parts of the world. Recent studies have implicated the patient’s immune response to the tissue injury is important in dictating clinical outcome, especially monocyte/macrophage cells of the innate immune system. Patients with the worst clinical outcomes after a paracetamol overdose (POD) (death/emergency liver transplant) had a significant and prolonged monocytopenia characterised by reduced classical and expanded intermediate monocyte subset population. This same change was seen in the mouse monocytes but did not occur in patients with non-AE hepatitis. In POD patients, this was associated with reduced circulating lymphocytes and NK cells, peripheral cytokine patterns suggestive of a “cytokine storm” and increased circulating concentrations of cytokines associated with monocyte egress from the bone marrow. Monocyte gene expression did not differentiate patient outcome. Severe paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity is associated with profound changes in the cells of the peripheral blood compartment that are related to patient outcome especially the circulating monocytes. This is not seen in patients with non-AE hepatitis. Such changes may allow earlier definition of prognosis or highlight potential for therapeutic intervention utilising monocytes to improve outcomes.

A shift towards pro-inflammatory CD16+ monocyte subsets with preserved cytokine production potential after kidney transplantation.

Project description:BackgroundThe presence of monocyte-macrophage lineage cells in rejecting kidney transplants is associated with worse graft outcome. At present, it is still unclear how the monocyte-macrophage related responses develop after transplantation. Here, we studied the dynamics, phenotypic and functional characteristics of circulating monocytes during the first 6 months after transplantation and aimed to establish the differences between kidney transplant recipients and healthy individuals.MethodsPhenotype, activation status and cytokine production capacity of classical (CD14++CD16-), intermediate (CD14++CD16+) and non-classical (CD14+CD16++), monocytes were determined by flow cytometry in a cohort of 33 healthy individuals, 30 renal transplant recipients at transplantation, 19 recipients at 3 months and 16 recipients at 6 months after transplantation using a cross-sectional approach.ResultsThe percentage of both CD16+ monocyte subsets was significantly increased in transplant recipients compared to healthy individuals, indicative of triggered innate immunity (p?0.039). Enhanced production capacity of tumor necrosis factor-?, interferon-? and interleukin-1? was observed by monocytes at transplantation compared to healthy individuals. Remarkably, three months post-transplant, in presence of potent immunosuppressive drugs and despite improved kidney function, interferon-?, tumor necrosis factor-? and interleukin-10 production capacity still remained significantly increased.ConclusionOur data demonstrate a skewed balance towards pro-inflammatory CD16+ monocytes that is present at the time of transplantation and retained for at least 6 months after transplantation. This shift could be one of the important drivers of early post-transplant cellular immunity.

Impact of chronic and acute academic stress on lymphocyte subsets and monocyte function.

Project description:This study investigated the effects of a temporally confined naturalistic stressor (academic stress) on immune functions. Furthermore, moderating influences of a number of psychological variables were assessed. Five blood samples were obtained from 20 students during an observation period of 8 weeks, starting 4.5 weeks before an exam period up to 1 week following the last exam. The analysis of 45 immune parameters revealed several time-dependent changes attributable to examination stress. We observed a reduction in the absolute numbers of natural killer (NK) cells and monocytes in peripheral blood and a shift towards more immature and naïve cells within NK and T cell populations. In addition, IL-6 and TNF-? production by LPS-stimulated monocytes was increased. Psychological variables were grouped by means of factor analyses into two factors. One factor, which was interpreted as an indication of chronic stress, moderated the relationships between academic stress and percentages of mature CD57+ NK cells. This chronic stress factor was also associated with an increase in memory and a decrease in naïve CD8 T cells and increased serum levels of IL-17. The present study identifies important potential psychological mediators of stress-induced changes in specific immunological parameters.

Monocyte subsets and monocyte-related chemokines in Takayasu arteritis.

Project description:The pathogenesis of Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is poorly understood and no previous studies have analyzed monocytes in TAK. This study evaluated monocyte subsets and monocyte-related chemokines in the peripheral blood of TAK patients and healthy controls (HC). Monocyte subsets were identified as classical (CD14+CD16-), intermediate (CD14+CD16dim), and non-classical (CD14dimCD16high) in the peripheral blood. The chemokines CCL (C-C chemokine ligand)2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL7, CXCL (C-X-C motif ligand)10, and CX3CL (C-X3-C motif ligand)1 were measured in the sera. Thirty-two TAK patients and 30 HC were evaluated. Intermediate monocytes were higher in TAK than HC [25.0 cells ×106/L (16.7-52.0) vs. 17.2 cells ×106/L (9.2-25.3); p = 0.014]. Active disease was associated with monocytosis (p = 0.004), increased classical (p = 0.003), and intermediate (p < 0.001) subsets than HC. Prednisone reduced the percentage of non-classical monocytes (p = 0.011). TAK patients had lower CCL3 (p = 0.033) and CCL4 (p = 0.023) levels than HC, whereas CCL22 levels were higher in active TAK compared to the remission state (p = 0.008). Glucocorticoids were associated with lower CXCL10 levels (p = 0.012). In TAK, CCL4 correlated with total (Rho = 0.489; p = 0.005), classical and intermediate monocytes (Rho = 0.448; p = 0.010 and Rho = 0.412; p = 0.019). In conclusion, TAK is associated with altered counts of monocyte subsets in the peripheral blood compared to HC and CCL22 is the chemokine with the strongest association with active disease in TAK.

Differences in monocyte subsets are associated with short-term survival in patients with septic shock.

Project description:Sepsis is characterized by dynamic changes of the immune system resulting in deregulated inflammation and failure of homoeostasis and can escalate to septic shock. Circulating monocytes and other innate immune cells are among the first ones to recognize and clear pathogens. Monocytes have an important role in sepsis and septic shock and have been studied as potential diagnostic markers. In total, forty-two patients with septic shock were recruited and blood samples obtained within first 12 hours of ICU admission. We showed that frequency of classical and intermediate monocytes assessed at the time of admission to the intensive care unit are significantly distinct in patients with septic shock who survived longer that five days from those who died. These parameters correlate significantly with differences in serum levels of inflammatory cytokines MCP-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-18, and with the proportion of helper and cytotoxic T cells. The described changes in frequency of monocyte subsets and their activation status may predict short-term septic shock survival and help with fast identification of the group of vulnerable patients, who may profit from tailored therapy.

Human Monocyte Subsets Are Transcriptionally and Functionally Altered in Aging in Response to Pattern Recognition Receptor Agonists.

Project description:Age-related alterations in immunity have been linked to increased incidence of infections and decreased responses to vaccines in the aging population. Human peripheral blood monocytes are known to promote Ag presentation and antiviral activities; however, the impact of aging on monocyte functions remains an open question. We present an in-depth global analysis examining the impact of aging on classical (CD14+CD16-), intermediate (CD14+CD16+), and nonclassical (CD14dimCD16+) monocytes. Monocytes sorted from nonfrail healthy adults (21-40 y) and old (?65 y) individuals were analyzed after stimulation with TLR4, TLR7/8, and retinoic acid-inducible gene I agonists. Our data showed that under nonstimulated conditions, monocyte subsets did not reveal significant age-related alternations; however, agonist stimulated-monocytes from adults and old subjects did show differences at the transcriptional and functional levels. These alternations in many immune-related transcripts and biological processes resulted in reduced production of IFN-?, IFN-?, IL-1?, CCL20, and CCL8, and higher expression of CX3CR1 in monocytes from old subjects. Our findings represent a comprehensive analysis of the influence of human aging on pattern recognition receptors signaling and monocyte functions, and have implications for strategies to enhance the immune response in the context of infection and immunization.
