Gut metaproteome of COVID-19 peadiatric patients

ABSTRACT: Stools from paediatric patients with COVID-19 were compared with age- and gender-matched healthy subjects to understand the functional roles of the gut microbial community in etiopathogenetic mechanisms of the disease trying to unveil new therapeutic targets.

<h4>Introduction</h4>The gut microbiota (GM) play a significant role in the infectivity and severity of COVID-19 infection. However, the available literature primarily focuses on adult patients and it is known that the microbiota undergoes changes throughout the lifespan, with significant alterations occurring during infancy and subsequently stabilizing during adulthood. Moreover, children have exhibited milder symptoms of COVID-19 disease, which has been associated with the abundance of certain ...[more]

Project description:Saliva, a biofluid enriched in biological omic constituents, has emerged as a promising source for exosomal biomarkers due to its easy accessibility. Despite the understanding of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), the role of Salivary Extracellular Vesicles (sEVs) in COVID-19 remains poorly understood. Exploring the proteomic cargo of sEVs could prove valuable for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in assessing COVID-19. The proteomic cargo of sEVs from COVID-19 (+) subjects and their healthy close contacts (HCC) was explored. Nine COVID-19 positive (+) patients and eleven in-house close contact patients identified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of nasopharyngeal swabs were included. In-house close contacts were defined as individuals with a negative RT-qPCR result sharing a residence with a confirmed COVID-19 case. sEVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation from unstimulated saliva samples, and subsequently characterized through nanoparticle tracking, transmission electron microscopy, and western-blot analyses. The proteomic cargo of sEVs was processed by LC-MS/MS. sEVs were morphologically compatible with EVs, with the presence of Syntenin-1 and CD81 EVs markers. The sEVs proteome showed 1,417 proteins: 1,288 in COVID-19 (+) cases and 1,382 in HCC. 35 proteins were found exclusively and 89 were more abundant in sEVs from COVID-19 (+) subjects. “Coronavirus disease response”, “complement and coagulation cascades”, and “PMN extracellular trap formation” were the most enriched KEGG pathways in COVID-19 (+) cases. The most represented biological processes were “Hemoglobin and haptoglobin binding” and “oxygen carrier activity”, and the best-denoted molecular functions were “regulated exocytosis and secretion” and “leucocyte and PMN mediated immunity”. We suggest that sEVs proteomic cargo in COVID-19 is related to immune response processes, oxygen transport, and antioxidant mechanisms. In contrast, in HCC, sEVs signature profiles are mainly associated with epithelial homeostasis.
