Lipid Mediators and Cytokines/Chemokines Display Differential Profiles in Severe versus Mild/Moderate COVID-19 Patients.

ABSTRACT: Host immune responses play a key role in COVID-19 pathogenesis. The underlying phenomena are orchestrated by signaling molecules such as cytokines/chemokines and lipid mediators. These immune molecules, including anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, interact with immune cells and regulate host responses, contributing to inflammation that drives the disease. We investigated 48 plasma cytokines/chemokines, 21 lipid mediators, and anti-S protein (RBD) antibodies in COVID-19 patients (n = 56) and non-COVID-19 respiratory disease controls (n = 49), to identify immune-biomarker profiles. Cytokines/chemokines (IL-6, CXCL-10 (IP-10), HGF, MIG, MCP-1, and G-CSF) and lipid mediators (TxB2, 11-HETE, 9-HODE, 13-HODE, 5-HETE, 12-HETE, 15-HETE, 14S-HDHA, 17S-HDHA, and 5-oxo ETE) were significantly elevated in CO
