Project description:The goal of this study was to determine changes in the expression of genes in monoctic myleoid derived suppressor cells (M-MDSC) as a result of SARS CoV2 infection. The study aimed to investigate if M-MDSC are functionally active and inhibit T cell function in response to SARS CoV2 antigens 5 months after first detection of the virus. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from CoV2 (-) and CoV2 (+) donors (N=5 each group). M-MDSC were isolated by flow cytometry, and RNA extracted for RNA-seq studies. Filtering low quality reads and removal of the 3’ adapter sequences were performed using the Trim Galore tool. Reads were mapped to the latest version of the human genome (build hg38) using HISAT2. Mapped reads were counted against the human GENCODE annotation (v37) using HT-Seq. The EdgeR library in the R computing environment was used for quality control of the RNA-Seq data, and ComBat-seq method for correction of batch effects. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted using EdgeR. Pathway enrichment analysis was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) v6.8. Results: An average of 34 million reads per sample were acquired and mapped to the human genome (build hg38). After applying filtering criteria, 9,217 human genes were identified with the HISAT2 and HTSeq workflow. Differential expression analysis was performed between CoV2 (+) and CoV2 (-) samples using EdgeR. A total of 188 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified with nominal p-value <0.05; of which 63 were up- and 125 downregulated in CoV2 (+) samples. A total of 12 DEGs were identified with false discovery rate corrected p-value <0.05, of which 2 were up- and 10 downregulated. Pathway enrichment analysis identified pathways involved in immune response and innate immune signaling. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that CoV2 infection modulated the expression of genes involved in immune response and innate immune signaling. Most of the genes remained downregulated even after 5 months of first detection of SARS CoV2.

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS Coronavirus 2 (CoV2) is associated with massive immune activation and hyperinflammatory response. Acute and severe CoV2 infection is characterized by the expansion of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) because of cytokine storm, these MDSC suppress T cell functions. However, the presence of MDSC and its effect on CoV2 antigen specific T cell responses in individuals long after first detection of CoV2 and recovery from infection has not been studied. We and others have previously shown that CD11b+CD33+CD14+HLA-DR-/lo monocytic MDSC (M-MDSC) are present in individuals with clinical recovery from viral infection. In this study, we compared the frequency, functional and transcriptional signatures of M-MDSC isolated from CoV2 infected individuals after 5-months of the first detection of the virus (CoV2+) and who were not infected with CoV2 (CoV2-). Compared to CoV2- individuals, M-MDSC were present in CoV2+ individuals at a higher frequency, the level of M-MDSC correlated with the quantity of IL-6 in the plasma. Compared to CoV2-, increased frequency of PD1+, CD57+ and CX3CR1+ T effector memory (TEM) cell subsets was also present in CoV2+ individuals, but these did not correlate with M-MDSC levels. Furthermore, depleting M-MDSC from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) increased T cell cytokine production when cultured with the peptide pools of immune dominant spike glycoprotein (S), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N) antigens of CoV2. M-MDSC suppressed CoV2 S- antigen-specific T cell in ROS, Arginase, and TGFβ dependent manner. Our gene expression, RNA-seq and pathway analysis studies further confirm that M-MDSC isolated from CoV2+ individuals are enriched in pathways that regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses, but the genes regulating these functions (HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-B, NLRP3, IL1β, CXCL2, CXCL1) remained downregulated in M-MDSC isolated from CoV2+ individuals. These results demonstrate that M-MDSC suppresses recall responses to CoV2 antigens long after recovery from infection. Our findings suggest M-MDSC as novel regulators of CoV2 specific T cell responses, and should be considered as target to augment responses to vaccine.
