Caspase-11 promotes inflammation and thrombosis in SARS-CoV-2 infection

ABSTRACT: SARS-CoV-2 infections are a worldwide health concern, and new treatment strategies are needed for decreasing virus-induced inflammatory tissue damage. Targeting inflammatory innate immunity pathways holds therapeutic promise, but effective molecular targets remain elusive. Here, we show that the innate immunity proteins, human caspase-4 (CASP4), and its mouse homologue, caspase-11 (CASP11), are upregulated in SARS-CoV-2 infections, and that CASP4 expression correlates with severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans. SARS-CoV-2-infected Casp11-/- mice experienced less severe infections in terms of weight loss and lung damage than WT mice. Notably, these phenotypes were not recapitulated in mice lacking the CASP11 downstream effector gasdermin D (Gsdmd-/-), though viral titers were similar in all groups. Global transcriptomics of infected WT and Casp11-/- lungs identified decreased inflammation and neutrophil gene signatures. We confirmed that protein levels of inflammatory mediators IL-1β and CXCL1, and neutrophil infiltration, were decreased in Casp11-/- lungs. Additionally, Casp11-/- lungs expressed less von Willebrand factor, a marker for endothelial dysfunction and more Kruppel-Like Factor 2 (KLF2), a transcription factor with anti-thrombotic functions. Thus, CASP11 is established as an upstream regulator of blood coagulopathy in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Overall, our results demonstrate that CASP11, promotes detrimental SARS-CoV-2-associated inflammation and coagulopathy, identifying CASP11 as a promising drug target for treatment and prevention of tissue damage in COVID-19.

Proteomics of lung tissues from COVID19 patients

Project description:Coagulopathy is a hallmark finding in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is associated with an increased risk of death from venous and arterial thromboembolic complications. SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to microvascular thrombosis that contributes to acute lung injury and respiratory failure. The molecular mechanisms leading to thrombosis in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) patients are poorly understood. Here, we study a role of the procoagulant neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)/Factor XII (FXII) axis in COVID19-associated thromboembolism.

Effect of PI3Kgamma inhibition on inflammation in a mouse model of COVID-19

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infections induce aberrant pulmonary and systemic inflammation, vascular leak, coagulation and fatal organ damage. To identify therapeutic strategies to suppress COVID-19-associated inflammation, we sequenced lung tissue from sham infected mice and mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 that were treated with the cancer therapeutic IPI-549 (eganelisib) or vehicle. IPI-549 suppressed signatuers of pulmonary inflammation and reduced signatures of lung damage. These studies demonstrate the essential role of myeloid cells and PI3Kγ in SARS-CoV-2 inflammatory disease and support the use of myeloid cell inhibitors such as IPI-549 to suppress inflammation and promote survival in pulmonary infections like SARS-CoV-2.

The PDZ-binding motif of SARS-CoV envelope protein is a determinant of viral pathogenesis

Project description:A recombinant SARS-CoV lacking the envelope (E) protein is attenuated in vivo. Here we report that E protein PDZ-binding motif (PBM), a domain involved in protein-protein interactions, is a major virulence determinant in vivo. Elimination of SARS-CoV E protein PBM by using reverse genetics led to attenuated viruses (SARS-CoV-mutPBM) and to a reduction in the deleterious exacerbate immune response triggered during infection with the parental virus (SARS-CoV-wt). Cellular protein syntenin bound E protein PBM during SARS-CoV infection. Syntenin activates p38 MAPK leading to overexpression of inflammatory cytokines, and we have shown that active p38 MAPK was reduced in lungs of mice infected with SARS-CoVs lacking E protein PBM (SARS-CoV-mutPBM) as compared with the parental virus (SARS-CoV-wt), leading to a decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines and to viral attenuation. Therefore, E protein PBM is a virulence factor that activates pathogenic immune response most likely by using syntenin as a mediator of p38 MAPK induced inflammation. Three biological replicates were independently hybridized (one channel per slide) for each sample type (SARS-CoV-wt, SARS-CoV-mutPBM, Mock).

Bulk RNA Barcoding and sequencing (BRB-seq) of Mock, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 infected human airway epithelial cell cultures at 33°C and 37°C

Project description:For the assessment of host response dynamics to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections in human airway epithelial cells at ambient temperature corresponding to the upper or lower respiratory tract. We performed a temporal transcriptome analysis on human airway epithelial cell (hAEC) cultures infected with SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, as well as uninfected hAEC cultures, incubated either at 33°C or 37°C. hAEC cultures were harvested at 24, 48 72, 96 hpi and processed for Bulk RNA Barcoding and sequencing (BRB-seq), which allows a rapid and sensitive genome-wide transcriptomic analysis in a highly multiplexed manner. Transcriptome data was obtained from a total of 7 biological donors for pairwise comparisons of SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2 virus-infected to unexposed hAEC cultures at respective time points and temperatures.

Gene Expression Analysis of Host Immune Responses in CD11b positive cells isolated from lungs of the UV inactivated SARS-CoV-immunized mice following Lethal SARS-CoV Infection

Project description:To better understand the biological pathways by which UV inactivated SARS-CoV-induced pulmonary eosinophilia occurs, we examined global transcriptional changes in macrophages from the lungs of mouse. Female BALB/c mice were used at 21 weeks of age. Mice were subcutaneously immunized with UV inactivated SARS-CoV (UV-V) or UV-V and Toll like receptor (TLR) ligands at 6 and 1 weeks prior to mouse-adapted SARS-CoV (n=6 per group). Mice were intranasally challenged with 1E+6 TCID50 in 30M-NM-<L. MEM was challenged in six mice as control infection. Mice were sacrificed and collected lungs at 1 days after challenge, then CD11b positive cells were isolated from the lungs of these mice. These cells were used for the analysis of microarray.

Host responses contributing to the attenuation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses missing E protein domains

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) causes a respiratory disease leading to death in 10% of the infected people. A mouse adapted SARS-CoV lacking the envelope (E) protein (rSARS-CoV-MA15-?E) is attenuated in vivo. To identify E protein domains and host responses that contribute to rSARS-CoV-MA15-?E attenuation, several mutants (rSARS-CoV-MA15-E*) containing point mutations or deletions in the amino-terminal or the carboxy-terminal regions of E protein, respectively, were generated. Amino acid substitutions in the amino terminus, or deletion of domains in the internal carboxy terminal region of E protein led to viral attenuation. Attenuated viruses induced minimal lung injury and limited neutrophil influx to the lungs but, interestingly, increased CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts in BALB/c mice. To analyze the host responses leading to rSARS-CoV-MA15-E* attenuation, the differential gene expression elicited by the native virus and the mutant ones in infected cells was analyzed. The expression levels of a large number of proinflammatory cytokines inducing lung injury was reduced in the lungs of rSARS-CoV-MA15-E* infected mice, whereas the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines were increased, both at the mRNA and protein levels. These results suggested that the reduction in lung inflammation together with a specific antiviral T cell response, contributed to rSARS-CoV-MA15-E* attenuation. Interestingly, the attenuated viruses completely protected mice against the challenge with the lethal parental virus, being promising vaccine candidates. Three biological replicates were independently hybridized (one channel per slide) for each sample type (rSARS-CoV-MA15-wt, rSARS-CoV-MA15-?E, rSARS-CoV-MA15-?3, rSARS-CoV-MA15-?5, Mock).

Fibrin drives thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19 [NK_Fibrin_in_vitro]

Project description:Life-threatening thrombotic events and neurological symptoms are prevalent in COVID-19 and are persistent in patients with long COVID experiencing post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection1,2,3,4. Despite the clinical evidence1,5,6,7, the underlying mechanisms of coagulopathy in COVID-19 and its consequences in inflammation and neuropathology remain poorly understood and treatment options are insufficient. Fibrinogen, the central structural component of blood clots, is abundantly deposited in the lungs and brains of patients with COVID-19, correlates with disease severity and is a predictive biomarker for post-COVID-19 cognitive deficits1,5,8,9,10. Here we show that fibrin binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, forming proinflammatory blood clots that drive systemic thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19. Fibrin, acting through its inflammatory domain, is required for oxidative stress and macrophage activation in the lungs, whereas it suppresses natural killer cells, after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fibrin promotes neuroinflammation and neuronal loss after infection, as well as innate immune activation in the brain and lungs independently of active infection. A monoclonal antibody targeting the inflammatory fibrin domain provides protection from microglial activation and neuronal injury, as well as from thromboinflammation in the lung after infection. Thus, fibrin drives inflammation and neuropathology in SARS-CoV-2 infection, and fibrin-targeting immunotherapy may represent a therapeutic intervention for patients with acute COVID-19 and long COVID.

Comparative Pathogenesis of Three Human and Zoonotic SARS-CoV Strains in Cynomolgus Macaques

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic was characterized by increased pathogenicity in the elderly due to an early exacerbated innate host response. SARS-CoV is a zoonotic pathogen that entered the human population through an intermediate host like the palm civet. To prevent future introductions of zoonotic SARS-CoV strains and subsequent transmission into the human population, heterologous disease models are needed to test the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics against both late human and zoonotic isolates. Here we show that both human and zoonotic SARS-CoV strains can infect cynomolgus macaques and resulted in radiological as well as histopathological changes similar to those seen in mild human cases. Viral replication was higher in animals infected with a late human phase isolate compared to a zoonotic isolate. Host responses to the three SARS-CoV strains were similar and only apparent early during infection with the majority of genes associated with interferon signalling pathways.This study characterizes critical disease models in the evaluation and licensure of therapeutic strategies against SARS-CoV for human use 4 strains, time course, lungs
