Effects of the circulating environment of COVID-19 on platelet and neutrophil behavior

ABSTRACT: Thromboinflammatory complications are well described sequalae of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and there is evidence of both hyperreactive platelet and inflammatory neutrophil biology that contributes to the thromoinflammatory milieu. It has been demonstrated in other thromboinflammatory diseases that the circulating environment may affect cellular behavior, but what role this environment exerts on platelets and neutrophils in COVID-19 remains unknown. We tested the hypotheses that 1) plasma from COVID-19 patients can induce a prothrombotic platelet functional phenotype, and 2) contents released from platelets (platelet releasate) from COVID-19 patients can induce a proinflammatory neutrophil phenotype. We treated platelets with COVID-19 patient and disease control plasma and found that COVID-19 patient plasma promoted auto-aggregation, thereby reducing response to further stimulation ex-vivo. Neither disease condition increased the number of platelets adhered to a collagen and thromboplastin coated parallel plate flow chamber, but both markedly reduced platelet size. We treated healthy neutrophils with COVID-19 patient and disease control platelet releasate and found that COVID-19 patient platelet releasate increased myeloperoxidase-deoxyribonucleic acid complexes and induced changes to neutrophil gene expression. Together these results suggest aspects of the soluble environment of COVID-19 stimulate circulating platelets, and that the contents released from those platelets can elicit inflammatory neutrophil behavior independent of direct cellular contact.

Longitudinal characterization of circulating neutrophils uncovers phenotypes associated with severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Project description:Mechanisms of neutrophil involvement in severe COVID-19 remain incompletely understood. Here we collect longitudinal blood samples from 306 hospitalized COVID-19+ patients and 86 controls, and perform bulk RNA-sequencing of enriched neutrophils, plasma proteomics, and high-throughput antibody profiling to investigate relationships between neutrophil states and disease severity. We identify dynamic switches between 6 distinct neutrophil subtypes. At days 3 and 7 post-hospitalization, patients with severe disease display a granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell-like gene expression signature, while patients with resolving disease show a neutrophil progenitor-like signature. Humoral responses are identified as potential drivers of neutrophil effector functions, with elevated SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG1-to-IgA1 ratios in plasma of severe patients who survived. In vitro experiments confirm that while patient-derived IgG antibodies induce phagocytosis in healthy donor neutrophils, IgA antibodies predominantly induce neutrophil cell death. Overall, our study demonstrates a dysregulated myelopoietic response in severe COVID-19 and a potential role for IgA-dominant responses contributing to mortality.

Changes in the proteome of platelets from patients with critical progression of COVID-19

Project description:Platelets, the smallest cells in human blood known for their role in primary haemostasis, are also able to interact with pathogens and play a crucial role in the immune response. In severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, platelets become over-activated, resulting in the release of granules, exacerbating inflammation and contributing to the cytokine storm. Here we utilize label-free shotgun proteomics approach to further elucidate the role of platelets in COVID-19 progression and to identify predictive biomarkers for disease outcome. Platelet proteome of the severely ill COVID-19 patients varied significantly from to healthy controls. Significant changes in the levels of proteins associated with protein folding were detected. In addition, a number of proteins with isomerase activity were found in the patient samples, which appear to exert an influence on platelet activity via non-genomic properties of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFkB). We also performed a comparison of proteins found exclusively in controls, survivors and non-survivors. CRP, CA-1, SAA2 and SEPPINA3 were found to be biomarker candidates in platelets, showing a significant increase in ICU patients.

Beyond Basic Characterization and Omics: Immunomodulatory Roles of Platelet-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Unveiled by Functional Testing

Project description:The proteome of anuclear platelets comprises >5000 proteins and is impacted e.g. by age and disease. The platelet secretome of over 300 proteins contains e.g. growth factors and immunomodulatory proteins and therefore, platelet products, such as platelet rich plasma are used in regenerative medicine. Platelets also release extracellular vesicles (EVs), both constitutively and upon activation. We studied 1) the tunability of platelet EVs by agonists engaging different critical platelet signaling pathways, 2) the characteristics of these EVs, and 3) macrophage responses to these EVs. Upon activating platelets, agonists have distinct impacts on the characteristics of secreted EVs, their protein and miRNA contents and functionality. These results imply that by differential activation it is possible to create tunable EVs e.g. for immunomodulatory purposes.

Serial whole blood transcriptomic analysis demonstrates activation of neutrophils, platelets and coagulation in severe and critical COVID-19 – submitted

Project description:Introduction: A maladaptive inflammatory response has been implicated in the pathogenesis of severe and critical COVID-19. This study aimed to characterize the temporal dynamics of this response and investigate whether critical disease is associated with distinct gene expression patterns. Methods: We performed microarray analysis of serial whole blood RNA samples from 19 patients with critical COVID-19, 15 patients with severe but non-critical disease and 11 healthy controls. We assessed whole blood gene expression patterns by differential gene expression analysis, gene set enrichment, two clustering methods and estimated relative leukocyte abundance using CIBERSORT. Results: Neutrophils, platelets, cytokine signaling, and the coagulation system were activated in COVID-19, and more pronounced in critical vs. non-critical disease. We observed two different trajectories of neutrophil-associated genes, indicating the emergence of a more immature neutrophil phenotype over time. Interferon-associated genes were strongly enriched in early COVID-19 before falling markedly, with modest severity-associated differences in trajectory. Conclusions: Severe COVID-19 is associated with a broad inflammatory response, which is more pronounced in critical disease. Our data suggest a progressively more immature circulating neutrophil phenotype over time. Interferon signaling is enriched in COVID-19 but does not seem to drive critical disease.

A type I IFN, prothrombotic hyperinflammatory neutrophil signature is distinct for COVID-19 ARDS

Project description:Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe critical condition with a high mortality that is currently in focus given that it is associated with mortality caused by coronavirus induced disease 2019 (COVID-19). Neutrophils play a key role in the lung injury characteristic of non-COVID-19 ARDS and there is also accumulating evidence of neutrophil mediated lung injury in patients who succumb to infection with SARS-CoV-2. We undertook a functional proteomic and metabolomic survey of circulating neutrophil populations, comparing patients with COVID-19 ARDS and non-COVID-19 ARDS to understand the molecular basis of neutrophil dysregulation. Expansion of the circulating neutrophil compartment and the presence of activated low and normal density mature and immature neutrophil populations occurs in ARDS, irrespective of cause. Release of neutrophil granule proteins, neutrophil activation of the clotting cascade and upregulation of the Mac-1 platelet binding complex with formation of neutrophil platelet aggregates is exaggerated in COVID-19 ARDS. Importantly, activation of components of the neutrophil type I interferon responses is seen in ARDS following infection with SARS-CoV-2, with associated rewiring of neutrophil metabolism to promote glutamine utilisation, and the upregulation of antigen processing and presentation. Whilst dexamethasone treatment constricts the immature low density neutrophil population it does not impact upon prothrombotic hyperinflammatory neutrophil signatures.

RNA Sequencing in COVID-19 patients identifies neutrophil activation biomarkers as promising diagnostic platform for infections.

Project description:Infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus can vary from asymptomatic, flu-like with moderate disease, to critically severe. Severe disease, termed COVID-19, involves acute respiratory deterioration that is frequently fatal. To understand the highly variable presentation, and identify biomarkers for disease severity, blood RNA from COVID-19 patient in an intensive care unit was analyzed by whole transcriptome RNA sequencing. Both SARS-CoV2 infection and the severity of COVID-19 syndrome were associated with up to 25-fold increased expression of neutrophil-related transcripts, such as neutrophil defensin 1 (DEFA1), and 3-5-fold reductions in T cell related transcripts such as the T cell receptor (TCR). The DEFA1 RNA level detected SARSCoV2 viremia with 95.5% sensitivity, when viremia was measured by ddPCR of whole blood RNA. Purified CD15+ neutrophils from COVID-19 patients were increased in abundance and showed striking increases in nuclear DNA staining by DAPI. Concurrently, they showed >10-fold higher elastase activity than normal controls, and correcting for their increased abundance, still showed 5-fold higher elastase activity per cell. Despite higher CD15+ neutrophil elastase activity, elastase activity was extremely low in plasma from the same patients. Collectively, the data supports the model that increased neutrophil and decreased T cell activity is associated with increased COVID19 severity, and suggests that blood DEFA1 RNA levels and neutrophil elastase activity, both involved in neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), may be informative biomarkers of host immune activity after viral infection.

PLATELET PROTEOME REVEALS FEATURES OF CELL DEATH, ANTIVIRAL RESPONSE AND VIRAL REPLICATION IN COVID-19.

Project description:This article provides the first proteomic analysis of platelets from COVID-19 patients. Our dataset shows that platelets are reprogrammed during severe COVID-19 and respond with the activation of type I interferon and cell death pathways, indicating platelet participation in the antiviral response. Additionally, identification of proteins involved in translation, mainly in non-surviving, and complete sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 genome call attention to platelets as viral repositories and markers poor prognosis in COVID-19.

Elevated Myl9 reflects the Myl9-containing microthrombi in SARS-CoV-2-induced exudative vasculitis and predicts COVID-19 severity

Project description:The mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is strongly correlated with pulmonary vascular pathology accompanied by SARS-CoV-2 infection-triggered immune dysregulation and aberrant activation of platelets. We combined histological analyses using field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses of the lungs from autopsy samples and single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to investigate the pathogenesis of vasculitis and immunothrombosis in COVID-19. We found that SARS-CoV-2 accumulated in the pulmonary vessels, causing exudative vasculitis accompanied by the emergence of thrombospondin-1 (THBS-1)-expressing non-canonical monocytes and the formation of Myosin light chain 9 (Myl9)-containing microthrombi in the lung of COVID-19 patients with fatal disease. The amount of plasma Myl9 in COVID-19 was correlated with the clinical severity and measuring plasma Myl9 together with other markers allowed us to predict the severity of the disease more accurately. This study provides detailed insight into the pathogenesis of vasculitis and immunothrombosis, which may lead to optimal medical treatment for COVID-19.
