Non-productive exposure of PBMCs to SARS-CoV-2 induces cell-intrinsic innate immune responses

ABSTRACT: Cell-intrinsic responses mounted in PBMCs during mild and severe COVID-19 differ quantitatively and qualitatively. Whether they are triggered by signals emitted by productively infected cells of the respiratory tract or result from physical interaction with virus particles, remains unclear. Here, we analyzed susceptibility and expression profiles of PBMCs from healthy donors upon ex vivo exposure to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. In line with the absence of detectable ACE2 receptor expression, human PBMCs were refractory to productive infection. RT-PCR experiments and single cell RNA-sequencing revealed JAK/STAT-dependent induction of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), but not pro-inflammatory cytokines. This SARS-CoV-2-specific response was most pronounced in monocytes. SARS-CoV-2-RNA-positive monocytes displayed a lower ISG signature as compared to bystander cells of the identical culture. This suggests a preferential invasion of cells with a low ISG base-line profile or delivery of a SARS-CoV-2-specific sensing antagonist upon efficient particle internalization. Together, non-productive physical interaction of PBMCs with SARS-CoV-2- and, to a much lesser extent, SARS-CoV particles stimulate JAK/STAT-dependent, monocyte-accentuated innate immune responses that resemble those detected in vivo in patients with mild COVID-19.

Absence of host innate immune responses in SARS-CoV-infected ferrets upon subsequent challenge

Project description:To further investigate the underlying mechanisms of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) pathogenesis and evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of potential drugs and vaccines it is necessary to use an animal model that is highly representative of the human condition in terms of respiratory anatomy, physiology and clinical sequelae. The ferret, Mustela putorius furo, supports SARS-CoV replication and displays many of the symptoms and pathological features seen in SARS-CoV-infected humans. We have recently established a SARS-CoV infection-challenge ferret platform for use in evaluating potential therapeutics to treat SARS. The main objective of the current study was to extend our previous results and identify early host immune responses upon infection and determine immune correlates of protection upon challenge with SARS-CoV in ferrets. Keywords: time course This study is a simple time course (58 day) examination of host responses in 35 SARS-CoV (TOR2) infected ferrets with the addition of a challenge inoculation of SARS CoV (TOR2) at day 29 post infection. Three mock-infected ferrets are included as negative controls. Due to the unavailability of ferret microarrays, Affymetrix Canine 2.0 oligonucleotide arrays were chosen following sequence analysis of our ferret cDNA library (~5000 clones) and demonstration of high levels of homology (>80%) between dog and ferret.

Immune-profiling of SARS-CoV-2 viremic patients reveals dysregulated innate immune responses.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 plasma viremia has been associated with severe disease and death in COVID-19. However, the effects of viremia on immune responses in blood cells remain unclear. The current study comprehensively examined transcriptional signatures of PBMCs involving T cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes, myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) respectively, from three different groups including individuals with moderate (nM), or severe disease with (vS) or without (nS) detectable plasma viral load. Whole transcriptome analysis demonstrated that all seven immune cell subsets were associated with disease severity regardless of cell type. Supervised clustering analysis demonstrated that mDCs and pDCs gene signatures could distinguish disease severity. Notably, transcriptional signatures of the vS group were enriched in pathways related to DNA repair, E2F targets, and G2M checkpoints; in contrast, transcriptional signatures of the nM group were enriched in interferon responses. Moreover, we observed an impaired induction of interferon responses accompanied by imbalanced cell-intrinsic immune sensing and an excessive inflammatory response in patients with severe disease (nS and vS). In sum, our study provides detailed insights into the systemic immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and reveals profound alterations in seven major immune cells in COVID-19 patients.

SARS-CoV-2 ferritin nanoparticle vaccine induces robust innate immune activity driving polyfunctional spike-specific T cell responses.

Project description:The emergence of variants of concern, some with reduced susceptibility to COVID-19 vaccines underscores consideration for the understanding of vaccine design that optimizes induction of effective cellular and humoral immune responses. We assessed a SARS-CoV-2 spike-ferritin nanoparticle (SpFN) immunogen paired with two distinct adjuvants, Alhydrogel® or Army Liposome Formulation containing QS-21 (ALFQ) for unique vaccine evoked immune signatures. Recruitment of highly activated multifaceted antigen-presenting cells to the lymph nodes of SpFN+ALFQ vaccinated mice was associated with an increased frequency of polyfunctional spike-specific memory CD4+ T cells and Kb spike-(539-546)-specific long-lived memory CD8+ T cells with effective cytolytic function and distribution to the lungs. The presence of this epitope in SARS-CoV, suggests that generation of cross-reactive T cells may be induced against other coronavirus strains. Our study reveals that a nanoparticle vaccine, combined with a potent adjuvant that effectively engages innate immune cells, enhances SARS-CoV-2-specific durable adaptive immune T cell responses.

SARS-CoV-2 induces double-stranded RNA-mediated innate immune responses in respiratory epithelial-derived cells and cardiomyocytes.

Project description:Coronaviruses are adept at evading host antiviral pathways induced by viral double-stranded RNA, including interferon (IFN) signaling, oligoadenylate synthetase-ribonuclease L (OAS-RNase L), and protein kinase R (PKR). While dysregulated or inadequate IFN responses have been associated with severe coronavirus infection, the extent to which the recently emerged SARS-CoV-2 activates or antagonizes these pathways is relatively unknown. We found that SARS-CoV-2 infects patient-derived nasal epithelial cells, present at the initial site of infection; induced pluripotent stem cell-derived alveolar type 2 cells (iAT2), the major cell type infected in the lung; and cardiomyocytes (iCM), consistent with cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19 disease. Robust activation of IFN or OAS-RNase L is not observed in these cell types, whereas PKR activation is evident in iAT2 and iCM. In SARS-CoV-2-infected Calu-3 and A549ACE2 lung-derived cell lines, IFN induction remains relatively weak; however, activation of OAS-RNase L and PKR is observed. This is in contrast to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV, which effectively inhibits IFN signaling and OAS-RNase L and PKR pathways, but is similar to mutant MERS-CoV lacking innate immune antagonists. Remarkably, OAS-RNase L and PKR are activated in MAVS knockout A549ACE2 cells, demonstrating that SARS-CoV-2 can induce these host antiviral pathways despite minimal IFN production. Moreover, increased replication and cytopathic effect in RNASEL knockout A549ACE2 cells implicates OAS-RNase L in restricting SARS-CoV-2. Finally, while SARS-CoV-2 fails to antagonize these host defense pathways, which contrasts with other coronaviruses, the IFN signaling response is generally weak. These host-virus interactions may contribute to the unique pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2.

Organoid modeling of lung-intrinsic immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Current study of the mechanistic underpinnings of infectious disease is limited by an absence of human in vitro model systems which recapitulate the full spectrum of epithelial and immune responses induced by host-pathogen interactions. To address this gap, we describe a holistic, three-dimensional, air-liquid interface (ALI) lung organoid method from adult tissue comprising epithelial and stromal architecture along with a full complement of resident innate and adaptive immune cells. This novel system allows the study of the intrinsic tissue-resident immune function of the lung without requiring additional immune reconstitution from lung-extrinsic sources. Using SARS-CoV-2 infection of these 3D human lung ALI organoids, we demonstrate the ability of the endogenous immune system of the lung to mount a coordinated response including cytokine production, chemotaxis, adaptive CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses, and antibody production. Further, this immune response is dampened by inhibitors of viral replication and augmented in vaccinated individuals. Together, we describe the successful generation of human lung organoids that preserve the diversity of stromal and tissue-resident immune populations and SARS-CoV-2 infection thereof. This en bloc system demonstrates the sufficiency of lung to independently initiate anamnestic responses without a peripheral lymphoid component, as applicable to physiologic modeling of immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and the broad study of pulmonary disease.

Defining the Innate Immune Responses for SARS-CoV-2-Human Macrophage Interactions.

Project description:Host innate immune response follows severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, and it is the driver of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) amongst other inflammatory end-organ morbidities. Such life-threatening coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is heralded by virus-induced activation of mononuclear phagocytes (MPs; monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells). MPs play substantial roles in aberrant immune secretory activities affecting profound systemic inflammation and end-organ malfunctions. All follow the presence of persistent viral components and virions without evidence of viral replication. To elucidate SARS-CoV-2-MP interactions we investigated transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of human monocyte-derived macrophages. While expression of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, paralleled monocyte-macrophage differentiation, it failed to affect productive viral infection. In contrast, simple macrophage viral exposure led to robust pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression but attenuated type I interferon (IFN) activity. Both paralleled dysregulation of innate immune signaling pathways, specifically those linked to IFN. We conclude that the SARS-CoV-2-infected host mounts a robust innate immune response characterized by a pro-inflammatory storm heralding end-organ tissue damage.

Spleen tyrosine kinase mediates innate and adaptive immune crosstalk in SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination

Project description:Durable cell-mediated immune responses require efficient innate immune signaling and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. How precisely mRNA vaccines trigger innate immune cells for shaping antigen specific adaptive immunity remains unknown. Here we show that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination primes human monocyte derived macrophages for activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Spike protein exposed macrophages undergo NLRP3 driven pyroptotic cell death and subsequently secrete mature interleukin-1β. These effects depend on activation of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) coupled to C-type lectin receptors. Using autologous co-cultures, we show that SYK and NLRP3 orchestrate macrophage driven activation of effector memory T cells. Furthermore, vaccination induced macrophage priming can be enhanced with repetitive antigen exposure providing a rationale for prime-boost concepts to augment innate immune signaling in SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Collectively, these findings identify SYK as a regulatory node capable of differentiating between primed and unprimed macrophages, which modulate spike protein specific T cell responses.
