Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with serious cardiovascular complications, including myocarditis, thrombosis, and dysregulated hemodynamic responses. The mechanism(s) underlying these disease manifestations are incompletely understood. Given a critical role for pericytes in supporting endothelial cell health and maintaining vascular integrity, we hypothesized that infection of pericytes could explain some of the cardiovascular complications of COVID-19. Here, we present evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in cardiac pericytes in patients with COVID-19 myocarditis. We show that cardiac pericytes are permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection in organotypic slice and primary cell cultures. SARS-CoV-2 enters cardiac pericytes through an ACE2 and endosomal-dependent mechanism. Consequences of cardiac pericyte infection include upregulation of inflammatory chemokine and cytokine expression, type I interferon signaling, mediators of endothelial constriction, and cell death. Collectively, these data demonstrate that human cardiac pericytes are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and suggest a possible role for pericyte infection in the pathogenesis of COVID-19.

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the latest respiratory pandemic resulting from zoonotic transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Severe symptoms include viral pneumonia secondary to infection and inflammation of the lower respiratory tract, in some cases causing death. We developed primary human lung epithelial infection models to understand responses of proximal and distal lung epithelium to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Differentiated air-liquid interface cultures of proximal airway epithelium and 3D organoid cultures of alveolar epithelium were readily infected by SARS-CoV-2 leading to an epithelial cell-autonomous proinflammatory response. We validated the efficacy of selected candidate COVID-19 drugs confirming that Remdesivir strongly suppressed viral infection/replication. We provide a relevant platform for studying COVID-19 pathobiology and for rapid drug screening against SARS-CoV-2 and future emergent respiratory pathogens.

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been identified as the cause of the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), which was initially reported in December 2019 in China and has since rapidly spread worldwide.
Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a detrimental effect of the national health care system, causing a drastic reduction of the screening programs for colorectal cancer and requiring the redistribution of the hospital resources from elective surgery to the care of patients with SARS-Cov_2 infection requiring admission.

Project description:The outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has led to an unparalleled global health crisis. While the majority of COVID-19 patients present with mild respiratory issues, a subset of patients still develop severe symptoms and life-threatening complications. Notably, abnormal coagulation and thrombosis are significant contributors to mortality in severe COVID-19 patients. Therefore, this study stimulated aortic endothelial cells with SARS-Cov-2 S protein and performed transcriptome sequencing analysis.

Project description:Obesity, characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation of the adipose tissue, is associated with adverse coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes, yet the underlying mechanism is unknown. To explore whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection of adipose tissue contributes to pathogenesis, we evaluated COVID-19 autopsy cases and deeply profiled the response of adipose tissue to SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro.

Project description:Patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), exhibit a wide spectrum of disease behavior. Since DNA methylation has been implicated in the regulation of viral infections and the immune system, we performed an epigenome- wide association study (EWAS) to identify candidate loci regulated by this epigenetic mark that could be involved in the onset of COVID-19 in patients without comorbidities.

Project description:Cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 include myocardial injury, heart failure, and myocarditis and are associated with long-term disability and mortality. SARS-CoV-2 RNA and antigens are found in the myocardium of COVID-19 patients, and human cardiomyocytes are susceptible to infection in cell or organoid cultures. While these observations raise the possibility that cardiomyocyte infection may contribute to the cardiac sequelae of COVID-19, a causal relationship between cardiomyocyte infection and myocardial dysfunction and pathology has not been established. Here, we generated a mouse model of cardiomyocyte-restricted infection by selectively expressing human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, in cardiomyocytes. Inoculation of Myh6-Cre Rosa26LSL-hAce2 mice with SARS-CoV-2 resulted in viral replication within the heart, accumulation of macrophages, and moderate left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Cardiac pathology in this model was transient and resolved with viral clearance. Blockade of monocyte trafficking reduced myocardial viral replication and macrophage accumulation and suppressed the development of LV systolic dysfunction. These findings establish a mouse of model of SARS-CoV-2 cardiomyocyte infection that recapitulates features of cardiac dysfunctions of COVID-19 and suggests that both replication and resultant innate immune responses contribute to pathology

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) impacts human health beyond acute infection. Myalgia and fatigue represent two of the most prevalent symptoms in post-COVID-19 syndrome. To determine the mechanisms underlying prolonged muscle symptoms, we characterized longitudinal histopathological and transcriptional changes of skeletal muscle after acute respiratory SARS-CoV-2 infection in a COVID-19 hamster model and compared them with respiratory influenza A virus (IAV) infection. Histopathological and bulk RNA sequencing analyses at 3, 30, and 60 days post infection (dpi) showed no evidence of direct viral invasion, inflammatory cell infiltration, or microthrombi in skeletal muscle, but myofiber atrophy was observed in the SARS-CoV-2 group at 60 dpi, accompanied by downregulation of myofiber genes, atrogenes, and cytoplasmic ribosomal protein genes, and upregulation of autophagy genes. There was persistent downregulation of genes involved in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid beta-oxidation, and tricarboxylic acid cycle in the SARS-CoV-2 but not the IAV group. Moreover, TNF-alpha/NF-kB and TGF-beta signaling pathways were differentially regulated in the SARS-CoV-2 group. Our findings suggest that persistent muscle symptoms after COVID-19 may be caused by muscle atrophy and energy metabolism suppression, and that the systemic inflammatory cytokine response may contribute, in part, to the skeletal muscle abnormalities.

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, has been associated with neurological and neuropsychiatric illness in many individuals. We sought to further our understanding of the relationship between brain tropism, neuro-inflammation and host immune response in acute COVID-19 cases. 3 brain regions (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, medulla oblongata and choroid plexus) from 5 patients with severe COVID-19 and 4 controls were examined. The presence of virus was assessed by western blot against viral spike protein, as well as viral transcriptome analysis covering >99% of SARS-CoV-2 genome and all potential serotypes. Droplet-based single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was performed in the same samples to examine the impact of COVID-19 on transcription in individual cells of the brain. Quantification of viral spike S1 protein and viral transcripts did not detect SARS-CoV-2 in the postmortem brain tissue. However, analysis of 68,557 single-nucleus transcriptomes from three distinct regions of the brain identified an increased proportion of stromal cells, monocytes and macrophages in the choroid plexus of COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, differential gene expression, pseudo-temporal trajectory and gene regulatory network analyses revealed transcriptional changes in cortical microglia associated with a range of biological processes, including cellular activation, mobility and phagocytosis. Despite the absence of detectable SARS-CoV-2 in the brain at time of death, the findings suggest significant and persistent neuroinflammation in patients with acute COVID-19.
