Deficient radiation transcription response in COVID-19 patients


ABSTRACT: The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in over 6.3 million deaths and 560 million COVID-19 cases worldwide. Clinical management of hospitalised patients is complex due to the heterogeneous course of COVID-19. Low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) is known to dampen localised chronic inflammation, and has been suggested to be used to reduce lung inflammation in COVID-19 patients. However, it is unknown whether SARS-CoV-2 alters the radiation response and associated radiation exposure related risk. We generated gene expression profiles from circulating leukocytes of hospitalised COVID-19 patients and healthy donors. The p53 signalling pathway was found to be dysregulated, with mRNA levels of p53, ATM and CHK2 being lower in COVID-19 patients. Several key p53 target genes involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and p53 feedback inhibition were up-regulated in COVID-19 patients, while other p53 target genes were downregulated. This dysregulation has functional consequences as the transcription of p53-dependant genes (CCNG1, GADD45A, DDB2, SESN1, FDXR, APOBEC) was reduced 24 h after X-ray exposure ex-vivo to both low (100 mGy) or high (2 Gy) doses. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 infection affects a DNA damage response that may modify radiation-induced health risks in exposed COVID-19 patients.
