SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid induces hyperinflammation and vascular leakage through the Toll-like receptor signaling axis in macrophages

ABSTRACT: Nearly 20% of SARS-CoV-2 infections result in ICU admission, often driven by an imbalance between antiviral responses and inflammatory signaling, leading to uncontrolled cytokine secretion. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein is a known immune antagonist, but its role in macrophage-driven cytokine storms is unclear. We demonstrate that N functions in a stimulus-specific manner, specifically amplifying extracellular and dampening intracellular RNA sensing. Moreover, we show that this is a conserved feature of pathogenic betacoronaviruses through distinct mechanisms. Our interaction networks with SARS-CoV-2 variant N proteins suggest the Delta variant N drives inflammation through interactions with several proteins, most notably, cGAS. Profiling of secreted cytokines revealed that the N proteins disrupt the secretome in a variant-specific manner. Most notably, we found that supernatants from the Delta variant N-expressing macrophages dramatically disrupt heart endothelial barriers, implicating N in COVID-19-associated cardiac complications. Our findings highlight N-mediated immune imbalance as a driver of severe COVID-19 and identify N as a promising therapeutic target to mitigate hyperinflammation.

Investigation of IgG-reactivity Profiles and Epitope Landscape in Divergent COVID-19 Trajectories and SARS-CoV-2 Variants using SARS-CoV-2 whole proteome peptide microarray

Project description:The objective of the study was to characterize the immunoreactivity profiles of IgG-reactive epitopes in COVID-19 patients with distinct disease trajectories as well as SARS-CoV-2-naïve sera, using a high-density SARS-CoV-2 whole proteome peptide microarray. The microarray comprised of a total of 5347 individual peptides, each consisting of 15 amino acids with an overlap of 13 amino acids printed in duplicate. The microarray also had a panel of the most relevant mutations from SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern like omicron, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and others. This study consisted of 29 participants, including 10 naïve controls (5 pre-pandemic and 5 SARS-CoV-2 seronegative) and 19 RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 patients were stratified into two distinct cohorts based on their disease trajectories: the severe cohort (S), in which the patients presented moderate COVID-19 symptoms initially but eventually progressed toward severity; and the recovered cohort (R), in which severe COVID-19 patients progressed toward recovery. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the immunopathogenesis of COVID-19 in patients with different disease trajectories, the effect of mutations on immunoreactivity, and potential cross-reactivity due to exposure to common cold viruses.

Transcriptomics in olfactory cells transfected with SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins

Project description:One of the most common symptoms in COVID-19 is a sudden loss of smell. SARS-CoV-2 has been detected in the olfactory bulb (OB) from animal models and sporadically in COVID-19 patients. To decipher the specific role of SARS-CoV-2 proteome at olfactory level, we deeply characterized the molecular imbalance induced by the expression of GFP-tagged SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins (M, N, E, S) on mouse OB cells by RNA-seq.

SARS-CoV-2 spike P681R mutation, a hallmark of the Delta variant, enhances viral fusogenicity and pathogenicity

Project description:During the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a variety of mutations have been accumulated in the viral genome, and currently, four variants of concerns (VOCs) are considered as the hazardous SARS-CoV-2 variants to the human society. The newly emerging VOC, the B.1.617.2/Delta variant, closely associates with a huge COVID-19 surge in India in Spring 2021. However, its virological property remains unclear. Here, we show that the B.1.617.2/Delta variant is highly fusogenic, and notably, more pathogenic than prototypic SARS-CoV-2 in infected hamsters. The P681R mutation in the spike protein, which is highly conserved in this lineage, facilitates the spike protein cleavage and enhances viral fusogenicity. Moreover, we demonstrate that the P681R-bearing virus exhibits higher pathogenicity than the parental virus. Our data suggest that the P681R mutation is a hallmark that characterizes the virological phenotype of the B.1.617.2/Delta variant and is closely associated with enhanced pathogenicity.

Linear epitope-specific IgG responses to SARS-CoV-2 and related human coronaviruses in human COVID-19 convalescent sera

Project description:The on-going COVID-19 pandemic requires a deeper understanding of the long-term antibody responses that persist following SARS-CoV-2 infection. To that end, we determined epitope-specific IgG antibody responses in COVID-19 convalescent sera collected at 5 months post-diagnosis and compared that to sera from naïve individuals. Each serum sample was reacted with a high-density peptide microarray representing the complete proteome of SARS-CoV-2 as 15 mer peptides with 11 amino acid overlap and homologs of spike glycoprotein, nucleoprotein, membrane protein, and envelope small membrane protein from related human coronaviruses. Binding signatures were compared between COVID-19 convalescent patients and naïve individuals using the web service tool EPIphany.

Multiple Early Factors Anticipate Post-Acute COVID-19 Sequelae

Project description:Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) represent an emerging global crisis. However, quantifiable risk-factors for PASC and their biological associations are poorly resolved. We executed a deep multi-omic, longitudinal investigation of 309 COVID-19 patients from initial diagnosis to convalescence (2-3 months later), integrated with clinical data, and patient-reported symptoms. We resolved four PASC-anticipating risk factors at the time of initial COVID-19 diagnosis: type 2 diabetes, SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia, Epstein-Barr virus viremia, and specific autoantibodies. In patients with gastrointestinal PASC, SARS-CoV-2-specific and CMV-specific CD8+ T cells exhibited unique dynamics during recovery from COVID-19. Analysis of symptom-associated immunological signatures revealed coordinated immunity polarization into four endotypes exhibiting divergent acute severity and PASC. We find that immunological associations between PASC factors diminish over time leading to distinct convalescent immune states. Detectability of most PASC factors at COVID-19 diagnosis emphasizes the importance of early disease measurements for understanding emergent chronic conditions and suggests PASC treatment strategies.

TRB sequences targeting ORF1ab are associated with disease severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Project description:The potential protective or pathogenic role of the adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection has been vigorously debated. While COVID-19 patients consistently generate a T cell response to SARS-CoV-2 antigens, evidence of significant immune dysregulation in these patients continues to accumulate. In this study, next generation sequencing of the T cell receptor Beta chain (TRB) repertoire was conducted in hospitalized COVID-19 patients to determine if immunogenetic differences of the TRB repertoire contribute to the severity of the disease course. Clustering of highly similar TRB CDR3 amino acid sequences across COVID-19 patients yielded 785 shared TRB sequences. The TRB sequences were then filtered for known associations with common diseases such as EBV and CMV. The remaining sequences were cross-referenced to a publicly accessible dataset that mapped COVID-19 specific TCRs to the SARS-CoV-2 genome. We identified 140 SARS-CoV-2 specific TRB sequences belonging to 119 clusters in our COVID-19 patients. Next, we investigated 92 SARS-CoV-2 specific clusters binding only one peptide target in relation to disease course. Distinct skewing of SARS-CoV-2 specific TRB sequences towards the nonstructural proteins (NSPs) of ORF1a/b of the SARS-CoV-2 genome was observed in clusters with critical disease course when compared to COVID-19 clusters with a severe disease course. These data imply that T-lymphocyte reactivity towards peptides from nonstructural proteins of SARS-CoV-2 may not constitute an effective adaptive immune response and thus may negatively affect disease severity.

Remodeling of the chromatin landscape in peripheral blood cells in patients with severe Delta COVID-19

Project description:COVID-19 is characterized by systemic proinflammatory shifts with development of serious alterations in the functioning of the immune system. Investigations of the gene expression changes accompanying infection state provide insight towards understanding of the molecular and cellular processes depending on the sickness severity and virus variant. Severe Delta COVID-19 have been characterized by the appearance of the monocyte subset enriched for the proinflammatory gene expression signatures and shift of the ligand-receptor interactions. We profiled the chromatin accessibility landscape of 140,000 nuclei of the PBMC samples from healthy people or individuals with COVID-19. We investigated cis-regulatory elements and identified core transcription factors governing the gene expression state in immune cells during COVID-19. For the severe cases we discovered that regulome and chromatin co-accessibility modules significantly altered across many cell types. Moreover, cases with the Delta variant are accompanied by specific monocyte subtype discovered with the scATAC-seq data. From our analysis follows that immune cells of individuals with severe Delta COVID-19 undergo significant remodeling of the chromatin accessibility landscape and development of the proinflammatory expression pattern. With a gene regulatory network modeling approach we investigated core transcription factors governing cell state and identified the most pronounced chromatin changes in CD14+ monocytes from individuals with severe Delta COVID-19. Together, our results provide novel insight into the cis-regulatory module organization and their impact on gene activity in immune cells during SARS-CoV-2 infection.
