Project description:Infections caused by SARS-CoV-2 may cause a severe disease, termed COVID-19, with significant mortality. Host responses to this infection, mainly in terms of systemic inflammation, have emerged as key pathogenetic mechanisms, and their modulation is the only therapeutic strategy that has shown a mortality benefit. Herein, we used peripheral blood transcriptomes of critically-ill COVID-19 patients obtained at admission in an Intensive Care Unit, to identify two clusters that, in spite of no major clinical differences, have different gene expression profiles that reveal different underlying pathogenetic mechanisms and ultimately have different ICU outcome. A transcriptomic signature was used to identify these clusters in an external validation cohort, yielding a similar result. These results illustrate the potential of transcriptomic profiles to identify patient endotypes and point to relevant pathogenetic mechanisms in COVID-19.

Project description:Total plasma IgA glycosylation was compared between healthy volunteers and volunteers suffering fromo infections with either the influenza A virus or the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2. Data from functional assays of the same plasma samples, such as neutrophil extracellular trap formation is also available.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals a shift from focused IFN alpha-driven signals in COVID-19 ICU patients who survive to broad pro-inflammatory responses in fatal COVID-19 – a feature not observed in severe influenza. We conclude that fatal COVID-19 infection is driven by uncoordinated inflammatory responses that drive a hierarchy of T cell activation, elements of which can serve as prognostic indicators and potential targets for immune intervention.

Project description:Severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) managed in the intensive care unit are prone to complications, including secondary infections with opportunistic fungal pathogens. Systemic fungal co-infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients may exacerbate COVID-19 disease severity, hamper treatment effectiveness and increase mortality. Here, we reiterate the role of fungal co-infections in exacerbating COVID-19 disease severity as well as highlight emerging trends related to fungal disease burden in COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, we provide perspectives on the risk factors for fungal co-infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and highlight the potential role of prolonged immunomodulatory treatments in driving fungal co-infections, including COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA), COVID-19-associated candidiasis (CAC) and mucormycosis. We reiterate the need for early diagnosis of suspected COVID-19-associated systemic mycoses in the hospital setting.

Project description:Background: Outcomes in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) are conditioned by viral control and regulation of inflammation. Variants in IFIH1, a gene coding the cytoplasmatic RNA sensor MDA5, regulate the response to viral infections. Methods: Patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with documented COVID-19 were prospectively included and IFIH1 rs1990760 genotypes determined. Peripheral blood gene expression, cell populations and immune mediators were measured during the first day after ICU admission before steroid therapy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy volunteers were exposed ex-vivo to an MDA5 agonist and dexamethasone, and changes in gene expression assessed. ICU discharge and hospital death were modelled using rs1990760 variants and dexamethasone therapy as factors. Findings: 237 patients were studied. Patients with the IFIH1 rs1990760 TT variant showed a decrease in expression of inflammation-related pathways, an anti-inflammatory cell profile and a decrease in pro-inflammatory mediators. Cells with TT variant exposed to an MDA5 agonist ex-vivo showed an increase in FOXO3 and IL6 when dexamethasone was added. All patients with the TT variant not treated with steroids (n=14) survived their ICU stay (HR 2.49 95% confidence interval 1.29 – 4.79). Dexamethasone therapy in this subgroup (N=50) delayed ICU discharge and increased hospital mortality (HR 2.19, 95% confidence interval 1.01 – 4.87) and serum IL-6 concentrations. Interpretation: COVID-19 ICU patients with the IFIH1 rs1990760 TT variant show an ameliorated inflammatory response that results in better outcomes than CC/CT variants. Dexamethasone can reverse this anti-inflammatory phenotype, worsening the outcome. Funding: Instituto de Salud Carlos III.

Project description:In this study, we aim to evaluate the relation between COVID-19 and bacterial secondary superinfections. We assessed the functional responses of neutrophils and monocytes isolated from acute and recovery COVID-19 patients upon bacterial infection using Flow-cytometry and proteomics based assays. Both neutrophils and monocytes showed impared intracellular microbicidal capacity along with a decreased functional response. Determination of plasma cytokines levels showed a significant association of certain cytokines towards secondary bacterial infection.
