Identification of distinct immune cell subsets associated with various clinical presentations, disease severity and viral persistence of SARS-CoV-2 infection


ABSTRACT: The clinical presentations and outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection are highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic infections to severe conditions, and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we performed the single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the profiles of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from the healthy controls (HC), asymptomatic individuals (AS) and symptomatic COVID-19 patients (SM) with various clinical features and disease severity. We first identified nine major cell types, including T cells, B cells, monocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells (DC), platelets, neutrophils, plasma cells and stem cells from a total of 119,799 single cells captured and filtered for the final analysis, and then divided these cell types into separate cell clusters and sub-clusters, respectively. We revealed that SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in profound alternations in various cellular compartments and identified a number of distinct immune cell subsets that were associated with various clinical presentations, disease severity and viral persistence of COVID-19. (NCAM1+CD160+) NK cells increased significantly in AS and SM individuals compared with the HC. SM patients showed a significant increase in (LAG3+CD160+CD8+) NKT cells and a decrease in (CD4-CD8-) double negative T cells compared with the AS subjects. (CD68-CSF1R-IL1BhiCD14+) classical monocytes were significantly higher in patients with severe disease (SD) than the patients with moderate disease (MD). (CD68-CSF1R-IL1BhiCD14+) classical monocytes and (CLEC10A-S100A9lo)pDC were positively and negatively correlated with the age-related disease severity of COVID-19 patients, respectively. Increases in (CD33-HLA-DMA-CD14+) classical monocytes and (CLEC10A-S100A9lo)pDC were associated with long-term nucleic acid test positive (LTNP) patients compared with the short-term nucleic acid test positive (STNP) individuals. Increases in (LAG3+CD160+CD8+) NKTcells and (FOXP3+IL2RA+IL7R+CD4+) Treg cells were observed in a patient lacking B cells and plasma cells. Dramatic increases in neutrophils, (CD33-HLA-DMA-CD14+) classical monocytes, and (CD68-CSF1R-IL1BhiCD14+) classical monocytes were detected at a later stage of a fatal patient. Our findings may enhance our understanding of the immune cell alternations involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and the protective immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
