Project description:Comparison of endotracheal aspirate and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing in severe pneumonia: a nested, matched case-control study
Project description:Some patients infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) develop severe pneumonia and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Distinct clinical features in these patients have led to speculation that the immune response to virus in the SARS-CoV-2-infected alveolus differs from other types of pneumonia. We collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples from 88 patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced respiratory failure and 211 patients with known or suspected pneumonia from other pathogens and subjected them to flow cytometry and bulk transcriptomic profiling. We performed single-cell RNA-seq on 10 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples collected from patients with severe COVID-19 within 48 hours of intubation. In the majority of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the alveolar space was persistently enriched in T cells and monocytes. Bulk and single-cell transcriptomic profiling suggested that SARS-CoV-2 infects alveolar macrophages, which in turn respond by producing T cell chemoattractants. These T cells produce interferon-gamma to induce inflammatory cytokine release from alveolar macrophages and further promote T cell activation. Collectively, our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 causes a slowly-unfolding, spatially-limited alveolitis in which alveolar macrophages harboring SARS-CoV-2 and T cells form a positive feedback loop that drives persistent alveolar inflammation.
Project description:CX3CR1pos monocytes are mobilized upon infection and undergo monocyte-to-macrophage transition in inflamed tissues. Using scRNA-seq of CD11c+ cells from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) infected with IAV (PR/8, H1N1 ,we demonstrate that, during severe viral pneumonia, bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) pass co-ordinated trajectories of pro-inflammatory-to-tissue-healing phenotypes, before differentiating into tissue-resident alveolar macrophages, that retain a long-term tissue-protective phenotype.

Project description:Clinical application value of simultaneous plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid metagenomic next generation sequencing in patients with pneumonia-derived sepsis
Project description:This study aimed to delineate molecular phenotypes of the lung microenvironment across idiopathic interestitial pneumonias, namely interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF)and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) through proteomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).
Project description:We conducted single-cell and T-cell receptor transcriptomic sequencing on the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from five patients with grade ≥2 immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis. Our analyses revealed a prominent enrichment of T cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis.
