Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is linked to TGF-β-induced Epstein-Barr Virus reactivation

ABSTRACT: In a subset of children and adolescents, SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a severe hyperinflammatory shock occurring 4-8 weeks post-infection. MIS-C is characterized by a specific expansion of TCRVβ21.3+ T-cells and systemic hyperinflammation, with an unclear pathogenesis. Here, we show that acute MIS-C exhibits impaired reactivation of virus-specific memory T cells due to elevated TGF-β levels, mirroring severe COVID-19 in adults. Functionally, the impaired T-cell cytotoxicity is accompanied by TGF-β-response signatures and reduced antigen-presentation capabilities of monocytes, reversible by TGF-β blockade. MIS-C TCRVβ21.3+ T cells resemble Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-reactive T cells, displaying enhanced capability in eliminating EBV-infected B cells. Clinically, active MIS-C correlates with TGF-β-induced defects in T-cell cytotoxicity, elevated EBV seroprevalence, and EBV-reactivation. Our findings establish a connection between SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 sequelae in children, where reduced T-cell cytotoxicity induced by SARS-CoV-2-triggered TGF-β overproduction leads to EBV-reactivation and contributes to hyperinflammation.

A monocyte/dendritic cell molecular signature of SARS-CoV2-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) with severe myocarditis [Single cell RNAseq]

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is generally milder than in adults, yet a proportion of cases result in hyperinflammatory conditions often including myocarditis. To better understand these cases, we applied a multi-parametric approach to the study of blood cells of 56 children hospitalized with suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The most severe forms of MIS-C (multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children related to SARS-CoV-2), that resulted in myocarditis, were characterized by elevated levels of pro-angiogenesis cytokines and several chemokines. Single-cell transcriptomic analyses identified a unique monocyte/dendritic cell gene signature that correlated with the occurrence of myocarditis, characterized by sustained NF-kB activity, associated with decreased gene expression of NF-kB inhibitors and TNF-a signaling . We also found a weak response to type-I and type-II interferons, hyperinflammation and response to oxidative stress related to increased HIF-1a and VEGF signaling. These results provide potential for a better understanding of disease pathophysiology.

Proteomic Profiling of MIS-C Patients Reveals Heterogeneity R 1 elating to Interferon 2 Gamma Dysregulation and Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction

Project description:The pathologic mechanisms causing Multisystem 38 Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) are not yet known; we sought to use high throughput proteomics to uncover signatures of dysregulation suggestive of pathophysiology fo this condition. MIS-C is a major complication of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in pediatric patients. Weeks after an often mild or asymptomatic initial infection with SARS-CoV-2 children may present with a severe shock-like picture and marked inflammation. Children with MIS-C present with varying degrees of cardiovascular and hyperinflammatory symptoms. We performed a comprehensive analysis of more than 1400 proteins in the plasma proteome of children with SARS-CoV-2 and MIS-C.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and recovery in children: Distinct T cell responses in MIS-C compared to COVID-19

Project description:While SARS-CoV-2 infection results in a mild disease course for most children, severe manifestations including respiratory failure and a Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) can develop in rare cases. Here, we present a longitudinal immune profiling study of children who developed SARS-CoV-2-associated MIS-C during acute disease and following recovery, relative to children with more typical clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We demonstrate distinct immune parameters associated with acute MIS-C including elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in circulation not observed in children with acute COVID-19 (non-MIS-C), aberrant expression of activation and tissue residency signatures by T cells, and expansion of T cells bearing specific TCR chains. Importantly, markers of tissue-derived T cells correlated with clinical measurements of cardiac damage suggesting key roles for T cells in the disease process. While these T cell alterations and the accompanying systemic inflammation resolved during recovery, children with prior MIS-C generated increased frequencies of functionally robust virus-specific T cells compared to children who recovered from mild disease, while both cohorts generated protective, long-lasting SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies. Together our results reveal that the T cell response in acute MIS-C contributed to disease pathology, while also generating robust memory responses for future immune protection.

Diagnosis of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) by a whole-blood transcriptional signature

Project description:Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) occurs in some children approximately 2-6 weeks following infection with SARS-CoV-2. Clinical symptoms are highly overlapping with Kawasaki disease (KD) and bacterial (DB) and viral (DV) infections, making diagnosis particularly challenging. Host whole blood transcriptomics can reveal specific combinations of host genes whose expression patterns can distinguish between disease groups of interest. We performed whole blood RNA-Sequencing of individuals with MIS-C, KD, bacterial and viral infections to identify a number of host genes that, when combined, could be used to diagnose MIS-C. This data contains processed data only. Raw data will be available via a controlled access archive.

Neutrophil profiles of pediatric COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

Project description:Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a delayed-onset, COVID-19-related hyperinflammatory illness characterized by SARS-CoV-2 antigenemia, cytokine storm, and immune dysregulation. In severe COVID-19, neutrophil activation is central to hyperinflammatory complications, yet the role of neutrophils in MIS-C is undefined. Here, we collect blood from 152 children: 31 cases of MIS-C, 43 cases of acute pediatric COVID-19, and 78 pediatric controls. We find that MIS-C neutrophils display a granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cell (G-MDSC) signature with highly altered metabolism, distinct from the neutrophil interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) response we observe in pediatric COVID-19. Moreover, we observe extensive spontaneous neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in MIS-C, and we identify neutrophil activation and degranulation signatures. Mechanistically, we determine that SARS-CoV-2 immune complexes are sufficient to trigger NETosis. Our findings suggest that the hyperinflammatory presentation during MIS-C could be mechanistically linked to persistent SARS-CoV-2 antigenemia, driven by uncontrolled neutrophil activation and NET release in the vasculature.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) serum proteomics

Project description:While fewer cases of severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are reported globally in children, a small proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infected children develop a novel pediatric febrile entity called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) that develops 2 to 5 weeks after initial SARS-CoV-2 exposure. MIS-C primarily effects male children and children of Hispanic or black descent. MIS-C manifests as a severe and uncontrolled inflammatory response with multiorgan involvement. A hyperinflammatory state is evidenced by clinical makers of inflammation including high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, and D-dimers, and an increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Children often present with persistent fever, severe gastrointestinal symptoms, cardiovascular manifestations, respiratory symptoms and neurological symptoms6-11,13. Cardiovascular manifestations include hypotension, shock, cardiac dysfunction, myocarditis and pericardial effusion. In the united states, admission to the intensive care unit occurs in approximately 58% of cases. To understand disease pathogenesis of MIS-C and proteins associated with the severe form of disease we performed proteomics analysis of serum or plasma samples. We collected serum from healthy children (SARS-CoV-2 negative, n=20), mild MIS-C (non-ICU, n=5) and severe MIS-C (ICU, n = 20) patients. MIS-C definition and diagnosis was performed according to CDC guidelines. Healthy adult serum (n = 4) was also used for reference ranges quality control and we obtained plasma samples from Kawasaki Disease (KD; n=7) patients that were recruited before the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Clonal dynamics of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in children and adults with COVID-19

Project description:Children infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) develop less severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) than adults. The mechanisms for the age-specific differences and the implications for infection-induced immunity are beginning to be uncovered. We show by longitudinal multimodal analysis that SARS-CoV-2 leaves a small footprint in the circulating T cell compartment in children with mild/asymptomatic COVID-19 compared to adult household contacts with the same disease severity who had more evidence of systemic T cell interferon activation, cytotoxicity and exhaustion. Children harbored diverse polyclonal SARS-CoV-2-specific naive T cells whereas adults harbored clonally expanded SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cells. More naive interferon-activated CD4+ T cells were recruited into the memory compartment and recovery was associated with the development of robust CD4+ memory T cell responses in adults but not children. These data suggest that rapid clearance of SARS-CoV-2 in children may compromise their cellular immunity and ability to resist reinfection.

Immune dysregulation and autoreactivity correlate with disease severity in SARS-CoV-2-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

Project description:Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a life-threatening post-infectious complication occurring unpredictably weeks after mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV2 infection in otherwise healthy children. Here, we define immune abnormalities in MIS-C compared to adult COVID-19 and pediatric/adult healthy controls using single-cell RNA sequencing, antigen receptor repertoire analysis, unbiased serum proteomics, and in vitro assays. Despite no evidence of active infection, we uncover elevated S100A-family alarmins in myeloid cells and marked enrichment of serum proteins that map to myeloid cells and pathways including cytokines, complement/coagulation, and fluid shear stress in MIS-C patients. Moreover, NK and CD8 T cell cytotoxicity genes are elevated, and plasmablasts harboring IgG1 and IgG3 are expanded. Consistently, we detect elevated binding of serum IgG from severe MIS-C patients to activated human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells in culture. Thus, we define immunopathology features of MIS-C with implications for predicting and managing this SARS-CoV2-induced critical illness in children.

TGF-β broadly modifies rather than specifically suppresses reactivated memory CD8 T cells in a dose-dependent manner (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) directly acts on naïve, effector and memory T cells to control cell fate decisions, which was shown using genetic abrogation of TGF-β signaling. TGF-β availability is altered by infections and cancer, however the dose-dependent effects of TGF-β on memory CD8 T cell (Tmem) reactivation are still poorly defined. We examined how activation and TGF-β signals interact to shape the functional outcome of Tmem reactivation. We found that TGF-β could suppress cytotoxicity in a manner that was inversely proportional to the strength of the activating TCR or pro-inflammatory signals. In contrast, even high doses of TGF-β had a comparatively modest effect on IFN-γ expression in the context of weak and strong reactivation signals. Since CD8 Tmem may not always receive TGF-β signals concurrently with reactivation, we also explored whether the temporal order of reactivation versus TGF-β signals is of importance. We found that exposure to TGF-β prior to as well as after an activation event were both sufficient to reduce cytotoxic effector function. Concurrent ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis revealed that TGF-β altered ~10% of the regulatory elements induced by reactivation and also elicited transcriptional changes indicative of broadly modulated functional properties. We confirmed some changes on the protein level and found that TGF-β-induced expression of CCR8 was inversely proportional to the strength of the reactivating TCR signal. Together, our data suggest that TGF-β is not simply suppressing CD8 Tmem, but modifies functional and chemotactic properties in context of their reactivation signals and in a dose-dependent manner.
