Human lung organoid for modeling infection and disease conditions (Lung II)

ABSTRACT: We sought to define the host immune response, a.k.a, the “cytokine storm” that has been implicated in fatal COVID-19 using an AI-based approach. Over 45,000 publicly available transcriptomic datasets of viral pandemics were analyzed to extract a 166-gene signature using ACE2 as a ‘seed’ gene; ACE2 was rationalized because the receptor it encodes enables the virus that causes Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2, to enter host cells. The signature was surprisingly conserved in all viral pandemics, including COVID-19, inspiring the nomenclature ViP-signature. A subset of 20-genes classified disease severity in respiratory pandemics. The ViP signatures pinpointed airway epithelial and myeloid cells as the major contributors of an IL-15 cytokine storm, and epithelial and NK cell destruction as determinants of severity/fatality. They also helped formulate precise therapeutic goals to reduce disease symptoms and severity. Thus, the ViP signatures provide a quantitative and qualitative framework for titrating the immune response in viral pandemics and may serve as a powerful unbiased tool in our armamentarium to rapidly assess disease severity and vet candidate drugs.

ACE2 knockout hinders SARS-CoV-2 propagation in iPS cell-derived airway and alveolar epithelial cells

Project description:Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19, continues to spread around the world with serious cases and deaths. It has also been suggested that different genetic variants in the human genome affect both the susceptibility to infection and severity of disease in COVID-19 patients. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been identified as a cell surface receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells. The construction of an experimental model system using human iPS cells would enable further studies of the association between viral characteristics and genetic variants. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells are cell types of the lung that express high levels of ACE2 and are suitable for in vitro infection experiments. Here, we show that human iPS cell-derived airway and alveolar epithelial cells are highly susceptible to viral infection of SARS-CoV-2. Using gene knockout with CRISPR-Cas9 in human iPS cells we demonstrate that ACE2 plays an essential role in the airway and alveolar epithelial cell entry of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. Replication of SARS-CoV-2 was strongly suppressed in ACE2 knockout (KO) lung cells. Our model system based on human iPS cell-derived lung cells may be applied to understand the molecular biology regulating viral respiratory infection leading to potential therapeutic developments for COVID-19 and the prevention of future pandemics.

An AI-guided invariant signature places MIS-C with Kawasaki disease in a continuum of host immune responses

Project description:A significant surge in cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C, also called Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome - PIMS) has been observed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. MIS-C shares many clinical features with Kawasaki disease (KD), although clinical course and outcomes are divergent. We analyzed whole blood RNA sequences, serum cytokines, and formalin fixed heart tissues from these patients using a computational toolbox of two gene signatures, i.e., viral pandemic (ViP), and a subset of it called, severe (s)ViP signatures that were developed in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection in COVID-19 and a 13-transcript signature previously demonstrated to be diagnostic for KD. Our analyses revealed that KD and MIS-C are on the same continuum of the host immune response as COVID-19 but diverge with two different cardiac phenotypes. The ViP signatures helped unravel the nature of the host immune response (IL15-centric) in MIS-C and KD, reveal unique targetable cytokine pathways in MIS-C, place MIS-C farther along in the spectrum in severity compared to KD and pinpoint key clinical (reduced cardiac function) and laboratory (thrombocytopenia and eosinopenia) parameters that can be useful to track severity.

SARS-COV-2 Uses CD4 to infect T Helper Lymphocytes

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or CoV-2) is the agent of a major global outbreak of respiratory tract disease known as COVID-19. CoV-2 infects the lungs and may cause several immune-related complications such as lymphocytopenia and cytokine storm which are associated with the severity of the disease and predict mortality. The mechanism by which CoV-2 infection may result in immune system dysfunction is not fully understood. Here we showed that CoV-2 infects human CD4+ T helper cells, but not CD8+ T cells. CoV-2 is found in the blood and bronchoalveolar lavage T helper cells of severe COVID-19 patients. We demonstrated that CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (S) (sCoV-2) directly binds to the CD4 co-receptor, which in turn mediates the entry of CoV-2 in T helper cells in a mechanism that also requires ACE2 and TMPRSS2. Once inside T helper cells, CoV-2 assembles viral factories, impairs cell function and may cause cell death. CoV-2 infected T helper cells express higher amounts of IL-10, which has been associated with viral persistence and disease severity. Thus, CD4-mediated CoV-2 infection of T helper cells may explain the poor adaptive immune response of many COVID-19 patients.

Modeling SARS-CoV-2 infection and its individual differences with ACE2-expressing human iPS cells

Project description:Genetic differences are a primary reason for differences in the susceptibility and severity of COVID-19. As induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells maintain the genetic information of the donor, they can be used to model individual differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro. We found that human iPS cells expressing the SARS-CoV-2 receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) (ACE2-iPS cells) can be infected w SARS-CoV-2. In infected ACE2-iPS cells, the expression of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, budding of viral particles, and production of progeny virus, double membrane spherules, and double-membrane vesicles were confirmed. We performed SARS-CoV-2 infection experiments on ACE2-iPS/ embryonic stem (ES) cells from eight individuals. Male iPS/ES cells were more capable of producing the virus compared with female iPS/ES cells. These findings suggest that ACE2-iPS cells can not only reproduce individual differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro but also are a useful resource to clarify the causes of individual differences in COVID-19 due to genetic differences.

Adult Stem Cell-derived Complete Lung Organoid Models Emulate Lung Disease in COVID-19

Project description:SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, causes widespread damage in the lungs in the setting of an overzealous immune response whose origin remains unclear. We present a scalable, propagable, personalized, cost-effective adult stem cell-derived human lung organoid model that is complete with both proximal and distal airway epithelia. Monolayers derived from adult lung organoids (ALOs), primary airway cells, or hiPSC-derived alveolar type-II (AT2) pneumocytes were infected with SARS-CoV-2 to create in vitro lung models of COVID-19. Infected ALO-monolayers best recapitulated the transcriptomic signatures in diverse cohorts of COVID-19 patient-derived respiratory samples. The airway (proximal) cells were critical for sustained viral infection, whereas distal alveolar differentiation (AT2→AT1) was critical for mounting the overzealous host immune response in fatal disease; ALO monolayers with well-mixed proximodistal airway components recapitulated both. Findings validate a human lung model of COVID-19 , which can be immediately utilized to investigate COVID-19 pathogenesis and vet new therapies and vaccines.

Spectrum of Viral Load and Host Response Seen in Autopsies of SARS-CoV-2 Infected Lungs

Project description:The relationship of SARS-CoV-2 lung infection and severity of pulmonary disease is not fully understood. We visualized viral RNA by in situ hybridization and assessed the immune infiltrate using immunohistochemistry and total RNA sequencing on five COVID-19 positive patients. Patients with high levels of viral RNA showed hyaline membranes on histology, extensive pneumocyte loss, low T-cell numbers and were enriched for the interferon gene signature, while patients with lower levels of viral RNA showed lower numbers of T-cells and CD8 cells and were enriched for fibrosis-associated genes. The study highlights the need to assess both pulmonary viral load and immune response in patients with severe COVID-19 infection.

Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of a COVID-19– associated maculopapular rash in a patient with psoriasis treated with ustekinumab

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily affects the respiratory system but extrapulmonary manifestations, including the skin, have been well documented. However, transcriptomic profiles of skin lesions have not been performed thus far. Here, we present a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis in a patient with COVID-19 infection with a maculopapular skin rash while on treatment with the interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 blocker ustekinumab for underlying psoriasis. Results were compared with healthy controls and untreated psoriasis. We found the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral entry receptors ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in keratinocytes of the patient with COVID-19, while ACE2 expression was low to undetectable in psoriasis lesions and healthy skin. Among all cell types, ACE2+ keratinocyte clusters showed the highest levels of transcriptomic dysregulation in COVID-19, expressing type 1–associated immune markers such as CXCL9 and CXCL10. In line with a generally type 1–skewed immune microenvironment, cytotoxic lymphocytes showed increased expression of the IFNG gene and other T-cell effector genes, while type 2, type 17, or type 22 T-cell activation was largely absent. Conversely, downregulation of several anti-inflammatory mediators was observed. This first transcriptomic description of a COVID-19-associated rash identifies ACE2+ keratinocytes displaying profound transcriptional changes, and inflammatory immune cells that might help to improve the understanding of SARS-CoV-2-associated skin conditions.
