Project description:Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, type 2 diabetes (T2D) was marked as a risk-factor for severe disease. Inflammation is central to the aetiology of both conditions where immune responses influence disease course. Identifying at-risk groups through immuno-inflammatory signatures can direct personalised care and help develop potential targets for precision therapy. This observational study characterised immunophenotypic variation associated with COVID-19 severity in T2D. Broad-spectrum immunophenotyping quantified 15 leukocyte populations in circulation from a cohort of 45 hospitalised COVID-19 patients with and without T2D. Lymphocytopenia, of CD8+ lymphocytes, was associated with severe COVID-19 and intensive care admission in non-diabetic and T2D patients. A morphological anomaly of increased monocyte size and monocytopenia of classical monocytes were specifically associated with severe COVID-19 in patients with T2D requiring intensive care. Over-expression of inflammatory markers reminiscent of the type-1 interferon pathway underlaid the immunophenotype associated with T2D. These changes may contribute to severity of COVID-19 in T2D. These findings show characteristics of severe COVID-19 in T2D as well as provide evidence that type-1 interferons may be actionable targets for future studies.

Project description:To study the prevalence of severe social anxiety (SSA) among a group of adolescents during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A total of 178 adolescents attending the private clinics of the authors were screened online for the presence of SSA, by using the self-reporting format of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale for children and adolescents (LSAS-CA). SSA defined as LSAS-CA scores of 80 or more was checked for statistical association with the adolescents' sociodemographic data and knowledge about the COVID-19 infection. The 18% of our participants had SSA, no correlation was found between having SSA and ä acknowledging or fearing the COVID-19 morbidity. Factors associated with SSA included texting, using social media, and playing video games during the lockdown. Mitigating factors include high family socioeconomic status, history of socialization with friends, and the use of WhatsApp as a source of information about COVID-19 infection.

Project description:Lung transplantation can potentially be a life-saving treatment for patients with non-resolving COVID-19-associated respiratory failure. Concerns limiting transplant include recurrence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the allograft, technical challenges imposed by viral-mediated injury to the native lung, and potential risk for allograft infection by pathogens associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia in the native lung. Most importantly, the native lung might recover, resulting in long-term outcomes preferable to transplant. Here, we report results of the first successful lung transplantation procedures in patients with non-resolving COVID-19-associated respiratory failure in the United States. We performed sm-FISH to detect both positive and negative strands of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the explanted lung tissue, extracellular matrix imaging using SHIELD tissue clearance, and single cell RNA-Seq on explant and warm post-mortem lung biopsies from patients who died from severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Lungs from patients with prolonged COVID-19 were free of virus but pathology showed extensive evidence of injury and fibrosis which resembled end-stage pulmonary fibrosis. We used a machine learning approach to project single cell RNA-Seq data from patients with late stage COVID-19 onto a single cell atlas of pulmonary fibrosis, revealing similarities across cell lineages. There was no recurrence of SARS-CoV-2 or pathogens associated with pre-transplant ventilator associated pneumonias following transplantation. Our findings suggest that some patients with severe COVID-19 develop fibrotic lung disease for which lung transplantation is the only option for survival.

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.
