Association of Vitamin D with severity and outcome of COVID-19: Clinical and Experimental Evidence

ABSTRACT: We investigated the association between endogenous vitamin D and the severity of COVID-19 as well as the mechanisms of action of vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were associated with increased severity and unfavourable outcome after 28 days. Vitamin D levels were negatively associated with biomarkers of COVID-19 severity. Vitamin D supplementation after challenge of mice with COVID-19 plasma led to reduced levels of TNFα, IL-6, IFNγ and MPO in the lung, as well as down-regulation of pro-inflammatory pathways as derived from RNA-seq experiments. Thus, vitamin D demonstrates a protective effect against severity and unfavorable outcome in COVID-19, possibly through attenuation of tissue-specific hyperinflammation.

A blood atlas of COVID-19 defines hallmarks of disease severity and specificity

Project description:Treatment of severe COVID-19 is currently limited by clinical heterogeneity and incomplete description of specific immune biomarkers. We present here a comprehensive multi-omic blood atlas for patients with varying COVID-19 severity in an integrated comparison with influenza and sepsis patients versus healthy volunteers. We identify immune signatures and correlates of host response. Hallmarks of disease severity involved cells, their inflammatory mediators and networks, including progenitor cells and specific myeloid and lymphocyte subsets, features of the immune repertoire, acute phase response, metabolism and coagulation. Persisting immune activation involving AP-1/p38MAPK was a specific feature of COVID-19. The plasma proteome enabled sub-phenotyping into patient clusters, predictive of severity and outcome. Systems based integrative analyses including tensor and matrix decomposition of all modalities revealed feature groupings linked with severity and specificity compared to influenza and sepsis. Our approach and blood atlas will support future drug development, clinical trial design and personalized medicine approaches for COVID-19.

Characterisation of the blood RNA host response underpinning severity in COVID-19 patients

Project description:Infection with SARS-CoV-2 has highly variable clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic infection through to life-threatening disease. Host whole blood transcriptomics can offer unique insights into the biological processes underpinning infection and disease, as well as severity. We performed whole blood RNA-Sequencing of individuals with varying degrees of COVID-19 severity. We used differential expression analysis and pathway enrichment analysis to explore how the blood transcriptome differs between individuals with mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19, performing pairwise comparisons between groups.

TWAS-based translational genomics approach identifies IL10RB as the top candidate gene for COVID-19 host susceptibility and severity

Project description:Recent efforts have identified genetic loci that are associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection rates and disease outcome severity. Translating these genetic findings into druggable genes that regulate COVID-19 host susceptibility is a critical next step. Using a translational genomics approach that integrates COVID-19 genetic susceptibility variants, multi-tissue genetically regulated gene expression (GReX) and perturbagen signatures, we identify IL10RB as the top key regulator of COVID-19 host susceptibility. In a series of validation steps we show that predicted GReX up-regulation of IL10RB and higher IL10RB expression in COVID-19 patient blood is associated with worse COVID-19 outcomes, and that in vitro IL10RB overexpression is associated with increased viral load and activation of disease-relevant molecular pathways.

The RNA demethylase FTO controls m6A marking on SARS-CoV-2 and classifies COVID-19 severity in patients

Project description:The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a key role in the life cycles of several RNA viruses. Whether this applies to SARS-CoV-2 and whether m6A affects the outcome of COVID-19 disease is still poorly explored. Here we report that the RNA demethylase FTO strongly affects both m6A marking of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 severity. By m6A profiling of SARS-CoV-2, we confirmed in infected cultured cells and showed for the first time in vivo in hamsters that the regions encoding TRS_L and the nucleocapsid protein are multiply marked by m6A, preferentially within RRACH motifs that are specific to β-coronaviruses and well conserved across SARS-CoV-2 variants. In cells, downregulation of the m6A demethylase FTO, occurring upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, increased m6A marking of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and slightly promoted viral replication. In COVID-19 patients, a negative correlation was found between FTO expression and both SARS-CoV-2 expression and disease severity. FTO emerged as a classifier of disease severity and hence a potential stratifier of COVID-19 patients.

Circulating microRNA signatures associated with disease severity and outcome in COVID-19 patients

Project description:In this study, we sought to identify circulating microRNA (miRNA) signatures associated with COVID-19 severity and outcome through small RNA-sequencing of serum samples from 89 COVID-19 patients and 45 healthy controls. As results, a set of miRNAs associated with lung disease, vascular damage and inflammation were upregulated in serum of COVID-19 patients vs controls, while miRNAs that inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, angiogenesis and stress response were downregulated. In addition, patients with severe COVID-19 vs mild or moderate disease had a circulating miRNA signature associated with sepsis, hearth failure, tissue fibrosis, inflammation, and impairment of type I IFN and antiviral responses. A subset of the differentially expressed miRNAs predicted ICU admission, sequelae and mortality in COVID-19 patients. Investigation of the differentially expressed circulating miRNAs in relevant human cell types in vitro showed that some of these miRNAs were modulated directly by SARS-CoV-2 infection or indirectly by type I IFN stimulation.

Predicting severity in COVID-19 disease using sepsis blood gene expression signatures

Project description:Severely-afflicted COVID-19 patients can exhibit disease manifestations representative of sepsis, including acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. We hypothesized that diagnostic tools used in managing all-cause sepsis, such as clinical criteria, biomarkers, and gene expression signatures, should extend to COVID-19 patients. Here we analyzed the whole blood transcriptome of 124 early (1-5 days post-hospital admission) and late (6-20 days post-admission) sampled patients with confirmed COVID-19 infections from hospitals in Quebec, Canada. Mechanisms associated with COVID-19 severity were identified between severity groups (ranging from mild disease to the requirement for mechanical ventilation and mortality), and established sepsis signatures were assessed for dysregulation. Specifically, gene expression signatures representing pathophysiological events, namely cellular reprogramming, organ dysfunction, and mortality, were significantly enriched and predictive of severity and lethality in COVID-19 patients. Mechanistic endotypes reflective of distinct sepsis aetiologies and therapeutic opportunities were also identified in subsets of patients, enabling prediction of potentially-effective repurposed drugs. The expression of sepsis gene expression signatures in severely-afflicted COVID-19 patients indicates that these patients should be classified as having severe sepsis. Accordingly, in severe COVID-19 patients, these signatures should be strongly considered for the mechanistic characterization, diagnosis, and guidance of treatment using repurposed drugs.

Early Predicting COVID-19 Severity Value with Extracellular Vesicles and Extracellular RNAs

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak started on December 2019 in China and rapidly spread worldwide. Clinical manifestations of Coronavirus-disease 2019 (COVID-19) vary broadly, ranging from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory failure and death, yet the underlying mechanisms and predictive biomarkers for this high variability are still unknown. Emerging evidence has shown that circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) and extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) are functionally involved in a number of physiologic and pathologic processes. To test the hypothesis that these extracellular components are a key determinant of severity in COVID-19, we collected 31 serum samples from mild COVID-19 patients at admission in single center. After standard therapy without corticosteroids, 9 of 31 patients became severe COVID-19. We analyzed exRNA profiles from the 31 serums and 10 healthy controls for predicting COVID-19 severity value.

Clonal expansion and activation of tissue-resident memory-like Th17 cells expressing GM-CSF in the lung of severe COVID-19 patients

Project description:Hyperinflammation contributes to lung injury and subsequent acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with high mortality in severe COVID-19. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we investigated the role of the lung-specific immune response. Here we profiled lymphocytes and myeloid cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and blood of COVID-19 patients. By tracking T cell clones across tissues, we identified clonally expanded tissue-resident memory-like Th17 cells (Trm17 cells) in the lung even after viral clearance. These Trm17 cells are characterized by a potentially pathogenic cytokine profile with expression of IL17A and CSF2 (GM-CSF). Interactome analysis revealed that Trm17 cells interact with macrophages and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, which have been associated with disease severity and lung damage. High IL-17A and GM-CSF protein levels in the serum of COVID-19 patients correlated with severe clinical course. This study suggests pulmonary Trm17 cells as one of the orchestrators of the hyperinflammation in severe COVID-19 and that these cells and their cytokines, such as GM-CSF, are promising biomarkers and potential targets for a COVID-19 therapy.

SnoRNAs and miRNAs expression profiles underlying COVID-19 disease severity

Project description:The causative organism, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), exhibits a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations in disease-ridden patients. Differences in the severity of COVID-19 ranges from asymptomatic infections and mild cases to the severe form, leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiorgan failure with poor survival. MiRNAs can regulate various cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation, by binding to the 3′UTR of target mRNAs inducing their degradation, thus serving a fundamental role in post-transcriptional repression. Alterations of miRNA levels in the blood have been described in multiple inflammatory and infectious diseases, including SARS-related coronaviruses. We used microarrays to delineate the miRNAs and snoRNAs signature in the peripheral blood of severe COVID-19 cases (n=9), as compared to mild (n=10) and asymptomatic (n=10) patients, and identified differentially expressed transcripts in severe versus asymptomatic, and others in severe versus mild COVID-19 cases. A cohort of 29 male age-matched patients were selected. All patients were previously diagnosed with COVID-19 using TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts), or Cobas SARS-CoV-2 Test (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland), with a CT value < 30. Additional criterion for selection was age between 35 and 75 years. Participants were grouped into severe, mild and asymptomatic. Classifying severe cases was based on requirement of high-flow oxygen support and ICU admission (n=9). Whereas mild patients were identified based on symptoms and positive radiographic findings with pulmonary involvement (n=10). Patients with no clinical presentation were labelled as asymptomatic cases (n=10).
