Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and resulting coronavirus disease (COVID-19) causes placental dysfunction, which increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. While abnormal placental pathology resulting from COVID-19 is common, direct infection of the placenta is rare. This suggests that pathophysiology associated with maternal COVID-19, rather than direct placental infection, is responsible for placental dysfunction and alteration of the placental transcriptome. We hypothesized that maternal circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), altered by COVID-19 during pregnancy, contribute to placental dysfunction. To examine this hypothesis, we characterized maternal circulating EVs from pregnancies complicated by COVID-19 and tested their effects on trophoblast cell physiology in vitro. We found that the gestational timing of COVID-19 is a major determinant of circulating EV function and cargo. In vitro trophoblast exposure to EVs isolated from patients with an active infection at the time of delivery, but not EVs isolated from Controls, altered key trophoblast functions including hormone production and invasion. Thus, circulating EVs from participants with an active infection, both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, can disrupt vital trophoblast functions. EV cargo differed between participants with COVID-19 and Controls, which may contribute to the disruption of the placental transcriptome and morphology. Our findings show that COVID-19 can have effects throughout pregnancy on circulating EVs and circulating EVs are likely to participate in placental dysfunction induced by COVID-19.

Project description:It is poorly understood how maternal covid-19 results in severe placental disorders. Single nuclei sequencing (sci-rna-seq3) was used to profle transcriptomic changes in the human placenta in response to maternal COVID-19.

Project description:We utilize single-cell sequencing (scSeq) of lymphocyte immune repertoires and transcriptomes to quantitatively profile the adaptive immune response in COVID-19 patients of varying age. Our scSeq analysis defines the adaptive immune repertoire and transcriptome in convalescent COVID-19 patients and shows important age-related differences implicated in immunity against SARS-CoV-2.

Project description:Although some studies reported the comprehensive mRNA expression analysis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using blood samples to understand its pathogenesis, the characteristics of RNA expression in COVID-19 and sepsis have not been compared. We compared the transcriptome expression of whole blood samples from patients with COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and patients with sepsis caused by other bacteria who entered the intensive care unit to clarify the COVID-19-specific RNA expression and understand its pathogenesis. Transcriptomes related to mitochondria were upregulated in COVID-19, whereas those related to neutrophils were upregulated in sepsis. However, the transcriptomes related to neutrophils were upregulated in both COVID-19 and sepsis compared to in healthy controls, whereas the mitochondrial transcriptomes were upregulated in COVID-19 and downregulated in sepsis compared to in healthy controls. Moreover, sepsis showed sub-optimal intrinsic apoptotic features compared with COVID-19. The transcriptome expression of COVID-19 has been examined in vitro but has not been widely validated using human specimens. This study improves the understanding of the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and can contribute to the development of treatments.

Project description:An early analysis of circulating monocytes may be critical for predicting COVID-19 course and its sequelae. In 131 untreated, acute COVID-19 patients at emergency room (ER) arrival, monocytes showed decreased surface molecules expression, including HLA-DR, in association to an inflammatory cytokine status and limited anti-SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell response. These alterations were mostly normalized in post-COVID-19 patients, 6 months after discharge. Acute COVID-19 monocytes transcriptome showed upregulation of anti-inflammatory, tissue repair genes such as BCL6, AREG and IL-10 and increased accessibility of chromatin. Some of these transcriptomic and epigenetic features still remained in post-COVID-19 monocytes. Importantly, a poorer expression of surface markers and low IRF1 gene transcription in circulating monocytes at ER defined a COVID-19 patients group with impaired SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell response and increased risk of requiring intensive care or dying. An early analysis of monocytes may be useful for COVID-19 patients stratification and to designing innate immunity-focused therapies.

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 has already caused over 523 million COVID-19 cases and 6.27 million deaths worldwide. COVID-19 leads to a severe acute respiratory syndrome, a hyperinflammatory response, and widespread multi-organ damage. Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and loss of taste and smell. Here we offer an in-depth analysis of the transcriptional response to SARS-CoV-2. We performed RNA-seq analysis of lung tissues from three COVID-19 patients.

Project description:Objective: To study the potential effect of COVID-19 on the endometrium of affected symptomatic women. Design: Preliminary study of the endometrial transcriptomes in women with COVID-19 through RNA sequencing. Setting: Hospital and university laboratories. Subjects: Women with COVID-19 lacking SARS-CoV-2 infection in endometrial tissue. Intervention/Exposure: Endometrial biopsy collection. Main outcomes measures: Endometrial gene expression and functional analysis of patients with COVID-19 versus uninfected individuals. Results: COVID-19 systemic disease alters endometrial gene expression in 75% of women, with patients exhibiting a preponderance of 163 up-regulated (e.g., UTS2, IFI6, IFIH1, BNIP3) and 72 down-regulated genes (e.g., CPZ, CDH3, IRF4) (FDR<0.05). A total of 161 dysregulated functions (36 up-regulated and 125 down-regulated) were typically enriched in COVID-19 endometria, including upregulation in pathways involved in response to virus and cytokine inflammation, highlighting upregulation of a COVID-19 response pathway. Conclusion: COVID-19 affects endometrial gene expression despite the absence of SARS-CoV-2 particles in endometrial tissues.

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.

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.
