Persistent Oxidative Stress and Inflammasome Activation in CD14^highCD16^- Monocytes From COVID-19 Patients.

ABSTRACT: The poor outcome of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is associated with systemic hyperinflammatory response and immunopathology. Although inflammasome and oxidative stress have independently been implicated in COVID-19, it is poorly understood whether these two pathways cooperatively contribute to disease severity. Herein, we found an enrichment of CD14^highCD16^- monocytes displaying inflammasome activation evidenced by caspase-1/ASC-speck formation in severe COVID-19 patients when compared to mild ones and healthy controls, respectively. Those cells also showed aberrant levels of mitochondrial superoxide and lipid peroxidation, both hallmarks of the oxidative stress response, which strongly correlated with caspase-1 activity. In addition, we found that NLRP3 inflammasome-derived IL-1β secretion by SARS-CoV-2-exposed monocytes in vitro was partially dependent on lipid peroxidation. Importantly, altered inflammasome and stress responses persisted after short-term patient recovery. Collectively, our findings suggest oxidative stress/NLRP3 signaling pathway as a potential target for host-directed therapy to mitigate early COVID-19 hyperinflammation and also its long-term outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundEvidence on the changes in the absolute counts of monocyte subpopulations in sepsis is missing.MethodsFirstly, absolute counts of circulating CD14pos/HLA-DRpos/CD45pos monocytes were measured by flow cytometry in 70 patients with Gram-negative sepsis and in 10 healthy volunteers. In the second phase, immunophenotyping was performed and the absolute count of circulating inflammatory monocytes and of circulating CD14dim/CD16pos/CD45pos patrolling monocytes were measured in another 55 patients and 10 healthy volunteers. Measurements were repeated on days 3, 7, and 10. Results were correlated with survival after 28 days.ResultsGreater numbers of CD14pos/HLA-DRpos/CD45pos monocytes were found on day 1 in survivors compared to nonsurvivors (p = 0.030). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that a cutoff higher than 337 cells/mm3 on day 1 could discriminate between survivors and nonsurvivors with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 91.1%. Logistic regression including Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score showed that an absolute count greater than 337 cells/mm3 was independently associated with unfavorable outcome (odds ratio (OR) 0.19, p = 0.050). The absolute counts of inflammatory and of CD14dim/CD16pos/CD45pos monocytes were greater in patients than healthy controls during the entire 10 days of follow-up. The absolute counts on day 3 of CD14dim/CD16pos/CD45pos monocytes were greater in survivors than nonsurvivors (p = 0.027). ROC analysis revealed that the cutoff at 27 cells/mm3 could discriminate between survivors and nonsurvivors with PPV of 94.1%. Logistic regression including age, SOFA score, and APACHE II score showed that an absolute count greater than 27 cells/mm3 was independently associated with unfavorable outcome (OR 0.06, p = 0.033). Logistic regression analysis showed that intra-abdominal infection on day 1 was predictive of low CD14dim/ CD16pos/CD45pos count on day 3.ConclusionCirculating counts of inflammatory and patrolling monocytes are greatly increased in Gram-negative sepsis. Absolute counts of CD14pos/HLA-DRpos/CD45pos monocytes on day 1 and CD14dim/CD16pos/CD45pos monocytes on day 3 are independently associated with final outcome.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01223690 .
