Deep spatial proteomics reveals region-specific features of severe COVID-19-related pulmonary injury

ABSTRACT: As a primary target of SARS-CoV-2, lung exhibits heterogeneous histopathological changes following infection. However, comprehensive insight into their protein basis with spatial resolution remains deficient, which hinders further understanding of COVID-19-related pulmonary injury. Here, we generated a region-resolved proteomic atlas of hallmark pathological pulmonary structures by integrating histological examination, laser microdissection, and ultrasensitive proteomics. Over 10,000 proteins were quantified across 71 post-mortem specimens. We identified a spectrum of pathway dysregulations in alveolar epithelium, bronchial epithelium, and blood vessels comparing with non-COVID-19 controls, providing evidence for transitional-state pneumocyte hyperplasia. Additionally, our data revealed the region-specific enrichment of functional markers in bronchiole mucus plug, pulmonary fibrosis, airspace inflammation, and alveolar type 2 cells, uncovering their distinctive features. Furthermore, we detected increased protein expression associated with viral entry and inflammatory response across multiple regions, suggesting potential therapeutic targets. Collectively, this study provides a unique perspective for deciphering COVID-19-caused pulmonary dysfunction by spatial proteomics.

A Co-culture System Reveals a Cross-talk between Alveolar Epithelium and Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelium during SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 seriously injures human alveoli and causes severe respiratory illness. Histopathologic evidences suggested alveolar-capillary barrier integrity is compromised in COVID-19 deaths, however, little is known about how it is disrupted. In this study, we investigated the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on alveolar epithelium and pulmonary microvascular endothelium, and tried to elucidate the cross-talk between them during viral infection. Under monoculture system, SARS-CoV-2 infection caused massive virus replication and dramatic organelles re-modeling in alveolar epithelial cells. While, as for pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, direct viral exposure had little effect on them, but treatment with culture supernatant from infected epithelial cells significantly damaged them, which suggested SARS-CoV-2 affected endothelium indirectly, possibly by substances released from infected alveolar epithelium. Then, we tested SARS-CoV-2 infection in an alveolar epithelium/endothelium co-culture system, and found viral infection caused global proteomic modulations and ultrastructural changes in both cell types. Especially for alveolar epithelial cells, viral infection elicited significant protein changes and structural reorganizations across many sub-cellular compartments. Among the affected organelles, mitochondrion seems to be a primary target organelle. In addition, based on proteomic analysis and EM clues, we tested several autophagy inhibitors, and discovered one of them, Daurisoline, could inhibit virus replication effectively in cells. Collectively, our study revealed the distinctive responses of alveolar epithelium and microvascular endothelium to SARS-CoV-2 infection, which will expand our understanding of COVID-19 and helpful for targeted drug development.

Human lungs show limited permissiveness for SARS-CoV-2 due to scarce ACE2 levels but virus-induced expansion of inflammatory macrophages

Project description:Scarce ACE2 expression limits alveolar SARS-CoV-2 permissiveness and related tissue damage. Instead, non-productive virus uptake by alveolar macrophages leads to a specific pulmonary immune activation. COVID-19 ARDS is most likely caused by immunopathogenesis rather than alveolar viral damage.

Temporal omics analysis in Syrian hamsters unravel cellular effector responses to moderate COVID-19

Project description:Using omics tools with the SARS-CoV-2 infected Syrian hamster as model for COVID-19, along with published datasets from COVID-19 patients, Nouailles et al. present a detailed longitudinal analysis of systemic and pulmonary quantitative and qualitative immune responses in a moderate disease setting. Targeted analysis of the alveolar and microvascular niche revealed a dominant role for monocyte-derived macrophages and endothelial cells regarding early anti-viral genes as well as pro-inflammatory and T cell recruiting chemokine expression. Recruitment of cytotoxic effector T cells coincided with viral clearance. This combined response was favorable for a moderate and self-limited disease course.

High titers and low fucosylation of early anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG promote hyper-inflammation by anti-inflammatory macrophages (MIL10)

Project description:Patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mostly become critically ill around the time of activation of the adaptive immune response. Here, we provide evidence that antibodies play a role in the worsening of disease at the time of seroconversion. We show that early phase severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein-specific IgG in serum of critically ill COVID-19 patients induces hyper-inflammatory responses by human alveolar macrophages. We identified that this excessive inflammatory response is dependent on two antibody features that are specific for patients with severe COVID-19. First, inflammation is driven by high titers of anti-spike IgG, a hallmark of severe disease. Second, we found that anti-spike IgG from patients with severe COVID-19 is intrinsically more pro-inflammatory because of different glycosylation, particularly low fucosylation, of the Fc tail. Notably, low anti-spike IgG fucosylation normalized in a few weeks after initial infection with SARS-CoV-2, indicating that the increased antibody-dependent inflammation mainly occurs at the time of seroconversion. We identified Fcγ Receptor (FcγR) IIa and FcγRIII as the two primary IgG receptors that are responsible for the induction of key COVID-19-associated cytokines such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor. In addition, we show that anti-spike IgG-activated macrophages can subsequently break pulmonary endothelial barrier integrity and induce microvascular thrombosis in vitro. Finally, we demonstrate that the hyper-inflammatory response induced by anti-spike IgG can be specifically counteracted by fostamatinib, an FDA- and EMA-approved therapeutic small molecule inhibitor of the kinase, Syk.

SARS-CoV-2 infection of primary human lung epithelium for COVID-19 modeling and drug discovery

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the latest respiratory pandemic resulting from zoonotic transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Severe symptoms include viral pneumonia secondary to infection and inflammation of the lower respiratory tract, in some cases causing death. We developed primary human lung epithelial infection models to understand responses of proximal and distal lung epithelium to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Differentiated air-liquid interface cultures of proximal airway epithelium and 3D organoid cultures of alveolar epithelium were readily infected by SARS-CoV-2 leading to an epithelial cell-autonomous proinflammatory response. We validated the efficacy of selected candidate COVID-19 drugs confirming that Remdesivir strongly suppressed viral infection/replication. We provide a relevant platform for studying COVID-19 pathobiology and for rapid drug screening against SARS-CoV-2 and future emergent respiratory pathogens.

Immune and epithelial determinants of age-related risk and alveolar injury in fatal COVID-19

Project description:Respiratory failure in COVID-19 is characterized by widespread disruption of the lung’s alveolar gas exchange interface. To elucidate determinants of alveolar lung damage, we performed epithelial and immune cell profiling in lungs from 24 COVID-19 autopsies and 43 uninfected organ donors ages 18-92 years. We found marked loss of type 2 alveolar epithelial (T2AE) cells and increased peri-alveolar lymphocyte cytotoxicity in all fatal COVID-19 cases, even at early stages before typical patterns of acute lung injury are histologically apparent. In lungs from uninfected organ donors, there is also progressive loss of T2AE with increasing age which may increase susceptibility to COVID-19 mediated lung damage in older individuals. In the fatal COVID-19 cases, macrophage infiltration differed according to the histopathological pattern of lung injury. In cases with acute lung injury, we found accumulation of CD4+ macrophages that express distinctly high levels of T-cell activation and co-stimulation genes and strongly correlate with increased extent of alveolar epithelial cell depletion and CD8 T-cell cytotoxicity. Together, our results show that T2AE deficiency may underlie age-related COVID-19 risk and initiate alveolar dysfunction shortly after infection; and we define immune cell mediators that may contribute to alveolar injury in distinct pathological stages of fatal COVID-19.

The SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is expressed in mouse pericytes but not endothelial cells – implications for COVID-19 vascular research

Project description:Humanized mouse models and mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 virus are increasingly used to study COVID-19 pathogenesis, and it is therefore important to learn where the SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is expressed. Here we mapped ACE2 expression during mouse postnatal development and in adulthood. Pericytes in the central nervous system, heart and pancreas express ACE2 strongly, as do perineurial and adrenal fibroblasts, whereas endothelial cells do not at any location analyzed. In a number of other organs pericytes do not express ACE2, including in the lung where ACE2 instead is expressed in bronchial epithelium and alveolar type-II cells. The onset of ACE2 expression is organ-specific: in bronchial epithelium already at birth, in brain pericytes before and in heart pericytes after postnatal day 10.5. Establishing the vascular localization of ACE2 expression is central to correctly interpret data from modelling COVID-19 in the mouse and may shed light on the cause of vascular COVID-19 complications.

Lung transcriptome profile of a severe COVID-19 mice model with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and Poly (I:C)

Project description:Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with COVID-19 is aggravated by hyperinflammatory responses even after the peak of viral load has passed; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, analysis of the alveolar tissue injury markers and epithelial cell death markers in patients with COVID-19 revealed that COVID-19-induced ARDS was characterized by alveolar epithelial necrosis at an early disease stage. Serum levels of HMGB-1, one of DAMPs released from necrotic cells, were also significantly elevated in these patients. In addition, we established animal models of COVID-19 by intratracheal instillation with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and poly (I:C), a synthetic analog of double-stranded RNA. We performed bioinformatic analysis of lung tissue transcriptomes and confirmed that this COVID-19 model using SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and poly (I:C) recapitulated the biological responses seen in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2. Analysis of the mice model showed that the alveolar epithelial cell necrosis involved two forms of programmed necrosis: necroptosis and pyroptosis, Finally, neutralization of HMGB-1 attenuated alveolar tissue injury in the mouse model. Collectively, necrosis, including necroptosis and pyroptosis, seems to be the predominant form of alveolar epithelial cell death at an early disease stage and subsequent release of DAMPs is a potential driver of COVID-19-induced ARDS.
