Project description:The causative organism, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), exhibits a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations in disease-ridden patients. Differences in the severity of COVID-19 ranges from asymptomatic infections and mild cases to the severe form, leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiorgan failure with poor survival. MiRNAs can regulate various cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation, by binding to the 3′UTR of target mRNAs inducing their degradation, thus serving a fundamental role in post-transcriptional repression. Alterations of miRNA levels in the blood have been described in multiple inflammatory and infectious diseases, including SARS-related coronaviruses. We used microarrays to delineate the miRNAs and snoRNAs signature in the peripheral blood of severe COVID-19 cases (n=9), as compared to mild (n=10) and asymptomatic (n=10) patients, and identified differentially expressed transcripts in severe versus asymptomatic, and others in severe versus mild COVID-19 cases. A cohort of 29 male age-matched patients were selected. All patients were previously diagnosed with COVID-19 using TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts), or Cobas SARS-CoV-2 Test (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland), with a CT value < 30. Additional criterion for selection was age between 35 and 75 years. Participants were grouped into severe, mild and asymptomatic. Classifying severe cases was based on requirement of high-flow oxygen support and ICU admission (n=9). Whereas mild patients were identified based on symptoms and positive radiographic findings with pulmonary involvement (n=10). Patients with no clinical presentation were labelled as asymptomatic cases (n=10).

Project description:Anorexia and fasting are host adaptations to acute infection, inducing a metabolic switch towards ketogenesis and the production of ketone bodies, including β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). However, whether ketogenesis metabolically influences the immune response in pulmonary infections remains unclear. Here we report impaired production of BHB in humans with SARS-CoV-2-induced but not influenza-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). BHB promotes the survival and the production of Interferon-g from CD4+ T cells. Using metabolic tracing analysis, we uncovered that BHB provides an alternative carbon source to fuel oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and the production of bioenergetic amino acids and glutathione, which is important for maintaining the redox balance. T cells from patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS were exhausted and skewed towards glycolysis, but can be metabolically reprogrammed by BHB to perform OXPHOS, thereby increasing their functionality. Finally, we find that ketogenic diet (KD) reduced pulmonary fibrosis, a feature particular pronounced in COVID-19 ARDS and delivery of BHB as ketone ester drink reduces the mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infected mice. Altogether, our data suggest that impaired ketogenesis in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection accounts, at least partially for disease progression and that supplementation ketone ester might represent an easy-to-implement treatment to improve the clinical outcome of COVID-19 patients.

Project description:Severe COVID-19 may progress into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with high mortality risk. Its exact pathological mechanism, therapeutic obstacles and the clinical sequelae are critical and unresolved issues. Here, we reported a representative COVID-19 induced ARDS case experienced initially stable, then suddenly deteriorating up to final respiratory failure courses, until his death despite of lung transplantation. His lung pathology showed necrosis of parenchymal tissues, extensive immune cell infiltration and lung fibrosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed various immune cell populations were largely expanded in his lung, and manifested inflammatory/activated functions. We also showed that cell-crosstalk between lung macrophages and fibroblasts promoted pulmonary fibrosis through IL-1B and TGF-Β signaling pathways. Although SARS-CoV-2 RNA remained undetectable in his respiratory tract specimens including BALF at the later stage of his disease, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 was definitely confirmed in his lung tissues. Thus, this case indicates the pathological mechanism of severe COVID-19 includes pulmonary SARS-CoV-2 persistence, deranged inflammation and the extensive lung fibrosis which set the barriers for effective treatments and indicate potential health complications for severe COVID-19 patients.

Project description:Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe critical condition with a high mortality that is currently in focus given that it is associated with mortality caused by coronavirus induced disease 2019 (COVID-19). Neutrophils play a key role in the lung injury characteristic of non-COVID-19 ARDS and there is also accumulating evidence of neutrophil mediated lung injury in patients who succumb to infection with SARS-CoV-2. We undertook a functional proteomic and metabolomic survey of circulating neutrophil populations, comparing patients with COVID-19 ARDS and non-COVID-19 ARDS to understand the molecular basis of neutrophil dysregulation. Expansion of the circulating neutrophil compartment and the presence of activated low and normal density mature and immature neutrophil populations occurs in ARDS, irrespective of cause. Release of neutrophil granule proteins, neutrophil activation of the clotting cascade and upregulation of the Mac-1 platelet binding complex with formation of neutrophil platelet aggregates is exaggerated in COVID-19 ARDS. Importantly, activation of components of the neutrophil type I interferon responses is seen in ARDS following infection with SARS-CoV-2, with associated rewiring of neutrophil metabolism to promote glutamine utilisation, and the upregulation of antigen processing and presentation. Whilst dexamethasone treatment constricts the immature low density neutrophil population it does not impact upon prothrombotic hyperinflammatory neutrophil signatures.

Project description:Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with COVID-19 is aggravated by hyperinflammatory responses even after the peak of viral load has passed; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, analysis of the alveolar tissue injury markers and epithelial cell death markers in patients with COVID-19 revealed that COVID-19-induced ARDS was characterized by alveolar epithelial necrosis at an early disease stage. Serum levels of HMGB-1, one of DAMPs released from necrotic cells, were also significantly elevated in these patients. In addition, we established animal models of COVID-19 by intratracheal instillation with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and poly (I:C), a synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA. We performed bioinformatic analysis of lung tissue transcriptomes and confirmed that this COVID-19 model using SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and poly (I:C) recapitulated the biological responses seen in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. Analysis of the mice model showed that the alveolar epithelial cell necrosis involved two forms of programmed necrosis: necroptosis and pyroptosis, Finally, neutralization of HMGB-1 attenuated alveolar tissue injury in the mouse model. Collectively, necrosis, including necroptosis and pyroptosis, seems to be the predominant form of alveolar epithelial cell death at an early disease stage and subsequent release of DAMPs is a potential driver of COVID-19-induced ARDS.

Project description:Aims: SARS-CoV-2 infection causes COVID-19, which in severe cases evokes life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Transcriptome signatures and the functional relevance of non-vascular cell types (e.g. immune and epithelial cells) in COVID-19 are becoming increasingly evident. However, despite its known contribution to vascular inflammation, recruitment/invasion of immune cells, vascular leakage and perturbed hemostasis in the lungs of severe COVID-19 patients, an in-depth interrogation of the endothelial cell (EC) compartment in lethal COVID-19 is lacking. Moreover, progressive fibrotic lung disease represents one of the complications of COVID-19 pneumonia and ARDS. Analogous features between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and COVID-19 suggest partial similarities in their pathophysiology, yet, a head-to-head comparison of pulmonary cell transcriptomes between both conditions has not been implemented to date.

Project description:COVID-19 patients are generally asymptomatic during initial SARS-CoV-2 replication, but may suffer severe immunopathology after the virus has receded and blood monocytes have infiltrated the airways. In the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with severe COVID-19, lung-infiltrating monocytes expressed high mRNA levels encoding inflammatory mediators, including CXCL8and IL-1ß, and contained SARS-CoV-2transcripts. To study this process in more depth, we developed a novel organotypic model whereby primary human blood monocytes are transmigrated across a differentiated human lung epithelium infected by SARS-CoV-2. Infiltrating monocytes acquiredSARS-CoV-2 from the epithelium and upregulated expression and secretion of inflammatory mediators includingCXCL8 and IL-1ß, mirroring in vivo data. The JAK1/2inhibitor baricitinib gained emergency use authorization by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19 originally in combination with the antiviral remdesivir, and recently as a stand-alone treatment. To explore the mechanisms by which baricitinib alone or in combination with remdesivir may result in more favorable disease outcomes, we leveraged this model to characterize viral burden, gene expression and inflammatory mediator secretion by lung epithelial cells and infiltrating monocytes. As expected, remdesivir decreased viral burden in both the epithelium and monocytes, while baricitinib enhanced antiviral signaling and decreased specific inflammatory mediators in monocytes. Combined use of baricitinib and remdesivir enhanced the rate of virus clearance from SARS-CoV-2-positivemonocytes. Taken together, baricitinib enhances the antiviral state of monocytes infiltrating the COVID-19 lung, while decreasing the expression of inflammatory mediators, thus limiting the likelihood of a cytokine storm and ensuing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Project description:The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has infected over 100 million people and caused over 2.5 million deaths worldwide. Yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying the clinical manifestations of COVID-19, as well as what distinguishes them from common seasonal influenza virus and other lung injury states such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains poorly understood. To address these challenges, we combined transcriptional profiling of 646 clinical nasopharyngeal swabs and 39 patient autopsy tissues, matched with spatial protein and expression profiling (GeoMx) across 357 tissue sections. These results define both body-wide and tissue-specific (heart, liver, lung, kidney, and lymph nodes) damage wrought by the SARS-CoV-2 infection, which are a function both of viral load (high vs. low) and transcriptional signatures (splicing isoforms, T-cell receptor expression, cell state regression). These findings reveal a massive disruption of cellular and transcriptional pathways from COVID-19 that can inform subsequent studies on the pathophysiology SARS-CoV-2 as well as other viruses.
