Epigenetic and transcriptomic remodeling in monocytes of severe COVID-19 patients mirrors systemic changes in cytokines and immune cell crosstalk

ABSTRACT: COVID-19 manifests with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes ranging from asymptomatic and mild to severe and critical. Severe and critical COVID-19 patients are characterized by a marked dysregulation in the myeloid compartment, especially monocytes; however, little is known about the epigenetic regulation of these cells in relation to hyperinflammatory responses in severe COVID-19 patients. In this study, we obtained the DNA methylome and transcriptome of monocytes from severe COVID-19 patients. We observed drastic DNA methylation changes encompassing impairment of type-I interferons (IFN), antigen presentation functions among others, in concordance with gene expression changes supporting the relevance of DNA methylation alterations in the dysregulation of the myeloid compartment. These changes were similar to those occurring in bacterial sepsis, although specific functions resulting from viral infection were also identified. Also, a progressive relationship of DNA methylation alterations and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was found related with IFNγ production and T-helper 1 cell cytokine production. Analysis of the single cell transcriptomes of other immune cell types allowed inferring dysregulation of communication between monocytes and other cell types like NK cells, plasma B cells and T cells, which can partly explain monocyte epigenome dysregulation, perpetuating a dysregulated response in these patients.

Functional reprogramming of monocytes in acute and convalescent severe COVID-19 patients [RNA-seq]

Project description:Severe COVID-19 disease is associated with dysregulation of the myeloid compartment during acute infection. Survivors frequently experience long-lasting sequelae but little is known about the eventual persistence of this immune alteration. Herein, we evaluated Toll-like receptor-induced cytokine responses in a cohort of mild to critical patients during acute or convalescent phases (n=97). In the acute phase, we observed impaired cytokine production by monocytes in the most severe patients. This capacity was globally restored in convalescent patients. Yet, we observed increased responsiveness to TLR1/2 ligation in patients that recovered from severe disease, indicating that these cells display distinct functional properties at the different stages of the disease. We identified a specific transcriptomic and epigenomic state in monocytes from acute severe patients that can account for their functional refractoriness. The molecular profile of monocytes from recovering patients was distinct and characterized by increased chromatin accessibility at AP-1 and MAF loci. These results demonstrate that severe COVID-19 infection has a profound impact on the differentiation status and function of circulating monocytes both during the acute and the convalescent phases in a completely distinct manner. This could have important implications for our understanding of short and long-term COVID19-related morbidity.

Immunophenotyping of COVID-19 and Influenza Underscores the Association of Type I IFN Response in Severe COVID-19

Project description:Although most SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals experience mild COVID-19, some patients suffer from severe COVID-19, which is accompanied by acute respiratory distress syndrome and systemic inflammation. To identify factors driving severe progression of COVID-19, we performed single-cell RNA-seq using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from healthy donors, patients with mild or severe COVID-19, and patients with severe influenza. Patients with COVID-19 exhibited hyper-inflammatory signatures across all types of cells among PBMCs, particularly upregulation of the TNF/IL-1beta-driven inflammatory response as compared to severe influenza. In classical monocytes from patients with severe COVID-19, type I IFN response co-existed with the TNF/IL-1beta-driven inflammation, and this was not seen in patients with milder COVID-19 infection. Based on this, we propose that the type I IFN response exacerbates inflammation in patients with severe COVID-19 infection.

Characterizing cerebrospinal fluid immunity in neurological manifestations of COVID-19

Project description:Patients suffering from Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can develop neurological sequelae, such as headache, neuroinflammatory or cerebrovascular disease. These conditions - here termed Neuro-COVID - are more frequent in patients with severe COVID-19. To understand the etiology of these neurological sequelae, we utilized single-cell sequencing and examined the immune cell profiles from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of Neuro-COVID patients compared to patients with non-inflammatory and autoimmune neurological diseases or with viral encephalitis. The CSF of Neuro-COVID patients exhibited an expansion of dedifferentiated monocytes and of exhausted CD4+ T cells. Neuro-COVID CSF leukocytes featured an enriched interferon signature; however, this was less pronounced than in viral encephalitis. Repertoire analysis revealed broad clonal T cell expansion and curtailed interferon response in severe compared to mild Neuro-COVID patients. Collectively, our findings document the CSF immune compartment in Neuro-COVID patients and suggest compromised antiviral responses in this setting.

The life-saving benefit of dexamethasone in severe COVID-19 is linked to a reversal of monocyte dysregulation

Project description:Dexamethasone is a life-saving treatment for severe COVID-19, yet its mechanism of action is unknown, and many patients deteriorate or die despite timely treatment initiation. Here, we identify dexamethasone treatment-induced cellular and molecular changes associated with improved survival in COVID-19 patients. We observed a reversal of transcriptional hallmark signatures in monocytes associated with severe COVID-19 and the induction of a monocyte substate characterized by the expression of glucocorticoid-response genes. These molecular responses to dexamethasone were detected in circulating and pulmonary monocytes, and they were directly linked to survival. Monocyte single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)-derived signatures were enriched in whole blood transcriptomes of patients with fatal outcome in two independent cohorts, highlighting the potential for identifying non-responders refractory to dexamethasone. Our findings link the effects of dexamethasone to specific immunomodulation and reversal of monocyte dysregulation, and they highlight the potential of single-cell omics for monitoring in vivo target engagement of immunomodulatory drugs and for patient stratification for precision medicine approaches.

Multi-omic profiling reveals widespread dysregulation of innate immunity and hematopoiesis in COVID-19

Project description:Our understanding of protective vs. pathologic immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is limited by inadequate profiling of patients at the extremes of the disease severity spectrum. Here, we performed multi-omic single-cell immune profiling of 64 COVID-19 patients across the full range of disease severity, from outpatients with mild disease to fatal cases. Our transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic analyses reveal widespread dysfunction of peripheral innate immunity in severe and fatal COVID-19, with the most profound disturbances including prominent hyperactivation signatures in neutrophils and monocytes with anti-inflammatory features. We also leverage epigenomic analysis to identify loss of accessibility at NF-kB binding sites within pro-inflammatory cytokine gene loci as a potential mechanism for the striking lack of cytokine production observed in monocytes in severe and fatal COVID-19. We further demonstrate that emergency myelopoiesis is a prominent feature of fatal COVID-19. Collectively, our results reveal disease severity-associated immune phenotypes in COVID-19 and identify pathogenesis-associated pathways that are potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

GNPS - Proteomic and Metabolomic Characterization of COVID-19 Patient Sera

Project description:Early detection and effective treatment of severe COVID-19 patients remain major challenges. Here, we performed proteomic and metabolomic profiling of sera from 46 COVID-19 and 53 control individuals. We then trained a machine learning model using proteomic and metabolomic measurements from a training cohort of 18 non-severe and 13 severe patients. The model was validated using ten independent patients, seven of which were correctly classified. Targeted proteomics and metabolomics assays were employed to further validate this molecular classifier in a second test cohort of 19 new COVID-19 patients, leading to 16 correct assignments. We identified molecular changes in the sera of COVID-19 patients compared to other groups implicating dysregulation of macrophage, platelet degranulation and complement system pathways, and massive metabolic suppression. This study revealed characteristic protein and metabolite changes in the sera of severe COVID-19 patients, which might be used in selection of potential blood biomarkers for severity evaluation.<ul><li>Dataset imported into MassIVE from <a href="https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0002106000">https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0002106000</a> on 05/29/20</li></ul>

Single cell RNA sequencing and TCR repertoire analysis of MIS-C affected patients versus healthy controls and severe adult COVID-19

Project description:In rare instances, pediatric SARS-CoV2 infection results in a novel immunodysregulation syndrome termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). We compared MIS-C immunopathology with that of severe COVID-19. MIS-C does not result in pneumocyte damage but is associated with vascular endothelitis, gastrointestinal epithelial injury and endotoxemia. In MIS-C, IFN dominates the inflammatory signature in contrast to type I interferons in severe COVID-19. While HLA-DRlo classical monocytes dominate severe COVID-19, patrolling monocyte activation characterize MIS-C. TIM-3 expression on activated CD4/CD8  T cells and on CD57+ NK cells is a distinctive MIS-C feature. In all MIS-C patients, single cell TCR profiling demonstrates a skewed TCR repertoire enriched for TRBV11-2 and a superantigenic signature which is absent in severe COVID-19. Using NicheNet, we confirm IFN as a central cytokine in the communication between activated T cells, NK cells and patrolling monocytes. Rapid normalization of IFN, TIM-3 loss on T cells and patrolling monocytes contraction upon treatment highlight their potential role in MIS-C immunopathogenesis.
