Project description:COVID-19 is a systemic disease involving multiple organs. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) derived organoids/cells provide insight into cellular tropism and host response, yet the molecular mechanisms regulating SARS-CoV-2 infection remain poorly defined. Here, we systematically examined changes in transcript profiles caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection at different MOIs for airway organoids (AWOs), alveolar organoids (ALOs) and cardiomyocytes (CMs), and identified several genes, including CIART, that are generally implicated in controlling SARS-CoV-2 infection. AWOs, ALOs, and CMs derived from isogenic CIART-/- hPSCs were significantly resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection, independent of viral entry. Single-cell RNA-seq further validated the decreased levels of SARS-CoV-2 infection in multi-ciliated cells of AWOs. CUT&RUN, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analyses found that CIART controls SARS-CoV-2 infection at least in part through regulating NR4A1, a gene also identified from the multi-organoid analysis. Finally, transcriptional profiling and pharmacological inhibition revealed that the Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) pathway regulates SARS-CoV-2 infection downstream of CIART/NR4A1. The multi-organoid platform provides potential therapeutic targets for protection against COVID-19 across organ systems.

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 virus has already caused over a million COVID-19 cases and over fifty-thousand deaths globally. There is an urgent need to create novel models to study SARS-CoV-2 virus using human disease-relevant cells and tissues to understand key features of virus biology. We present a platform comprised of nine different cell and organoid derivatives from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) representing all three primary germ layers, including lung progenitors and alveolar type II (AT2) cells, pancreatic endocrine cells, liver organoids, endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, macrophages, microglia, and both cortical and dopaminergic neurons. We systematically probed which cell types are permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Human pancreatic beta cells and hepatocytes were strikingly permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection, further validated using adult primary human islets and liver organoids. Both in vitro and in a humanized mouse model, human lung progenitors and AT2 cells express the ACE2 viral receptor and were highly permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Transcriptomic analysis following SARS-CoV-2 infection of hPSC-derived pancreatic and lung organoids revealed upregulation of chemokines but not type I/III interferon signaling, similar to what was seen in primary human COVID-19 pulmonary infection. Therefore, hPSC-derived cells phenocopy human COVID-19 disease and provide a valuable resource to understand SARS-CoV-2 biology and search for novel therapeutics.

Project description:Chronic endotheliitis and various cardiovascular co-morbidities are more likely to develop in patients who are recovering from a post-acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite a growing body of clinical data suggesting that the endothelium could be the cause of both cardiac injury and the multi-organ damage found in COVID-19 patients, there is no clear link between endothelial (EC) dysfunction and increased cardiac risk during long COVID. Here, we studied long COVID-19-associated endotheliitis and its implications on cardiac dysfunction. Thrombotic vascular tissues from long COVID patients were harvested and profiled to identify the different mechanisms of viral-induced EC pathogenesis. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)–derived ECs were leveraged to model endotheliitis in-a-dish after exposure to SARS-CoV-2, which showed similar EC dysfunction and upregulation of specific cytokines such as CCL2 and IL6, as seen in the primary ECs of long COVID patients. 3D fabricated cardiac organoids generated from iPSC-ECs and iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) were utilized to understand the pathological influence of endotheliitis on cardiac dysfunction. Notably, cardiac dysfunction was observed only in cardiac organoids that were fabricated with both iPSC-CMs and iPSC-ECs after exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Simultaneous profiling of chromatin accessibility and gene expression dynamics via integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq at a single cell resolution revealed CCL2 as the prime cytokine responsible for the non-endothelial “phenotype switching” and the impending cardiac dysfunction in cardiac organoids. This was further validated by high-throughput proteomics that showed CCL2 to be released only by cardiac organoids that were fabricated with iPSC-CMs and iPSC-ECs after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Lastly, disease modeling of the cardiac organoids as well as exposure of human ACE2 transgenic mice to SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins uncovered a putative mechanism for the cardiac dysfunction involving posttranslational modification of cardiac proteins driven by oxidative stress and inflammation. These results suggest that EC-released cytokines can contribute to the pathogenesis of long COVID-associated cardiac dysfunction, and thus a thorough clinical profiling of vascular health could help identify early signs of heart disease in COVID-19 patients.
