MRNA profiling in pooled human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient plasma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to identify mRNAs that were dysregulated after exposure to COVID-19 patient plasma and thus possibly contribute to vascular inflammation. Therefore, we conducted a multi-center, retrospective longitudinal cohort study enrolling 142 patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection who presented to two Canadian hospitals from May 2020 – December 2020 along with a cohort of 27 SARS-CoV-2 patients with mild upper respiratory tract symptoms and 69 SARS-CoV-2-negative patients from the ICU. Blood was biobanked from SARS-CoV-2 positive patients in the emergency department (mild), ward (moderate) or intensive care unit (severe). Assessment of gene regulatory networks, gene set enrichment analysis, and in vitro permeability follow-up suggested functional reductions in junctional protein expression. Following this, confirmed critical reductions in VE-cadherin and ZO-1 which may drive pathology in moderate and severe cases of COVID-19.
