CITE-seq of peripheral immune cells after SARS-COV-2 vaccination in patients with MM
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) routinely receive mRNA-based vaccines to reduce COVID-19-related mortality, but whether disease- and therapy-related alterations in immune cells and cytokine-responsiveness contribute to the observed heterogeneous vaccination responses is unclear. Thus, we analyzed PBMCs from patients with MM during/after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and breakthrough infection (BTI) using combined whole-transcriptome and surface proteome single-cell profiling with functional serological and T-cell validation in additional 58 patients with MM. Our results demonstrate that vaccination responders showed a significant overrepresentation of cytotoxic CD4+ T-cells and mature CD38+ NK-cells expressing FAS+/TIM3+ with a strong enrichment for cytokine-responsiveness such as type-I-interferon-, IL-12- and TNF-alpha-mediated signaling. Patients with MM experiencing BTI developed higher serological and cellular responses and displayed similar cytokine-responsive immune cell patterns as observed in vaccination responders. Finally, these results expand our understanding of molecular and cellular patterns associated with immunization responses and may benefit the design of improved vaccination strategies in immunocompromised patients.
