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


ABSTRACT: 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.
