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:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and are associated with inflammation and coagulopathy and high incidence of thrombosis. Myeloid cells (Mϕ) help coordinate the initial immune response in COVID-19. Although we appreciate that Mϕ lie at the nexus of inflammation and thrombosis, the mechanisms that unite the two in COVID-19 remain largely unknown. In this study, we employed systems biology approaches including proteomics, transcriptomics, and mass cytometry to define the circulating proteome and circulating immune cell phenotypes in subjects with COVID-19. In a cohort of COVID-19 subjects (n=35), circulating markers of inflammation (CCL23, IL-6) and vascular dysfunction (ACE2, tissue factor [TF]) were elevated in subjects with severe compared with mild COVID-19. Additionally, although the total white blood cell (WBC) counts were similar between COVID-19 groups, CD14+ monocytes from severe COVID-19 subjects expressed more TF. At baseline, transcriptomics demonstrated increased IL-6, CCL3, ACOD1, C5AR1, C5AR2, and TF in severe COVID-19 subjects compared with controls. Using “stress” transcriptomics, we found that circulating immune cells from severe COVID-19 subjects had evidence of profound immune paralysis with greatly reduced transcriptional activation and release of inflammatory markers in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation. Finally, sera from severe (but not mild) COVID-19 subjects activated human monocytes and induced TF expression. Taken together, these observations further elucidate the pathological mechanisms that underlie immune dysfunction and coagulation abnormalities in COVID-19, contributing to our growing understanding of SARS-CoV-2 infections that could also be leveraged to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Up to 30% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients experience persistent sequelae, including pulmonary fibrosis (PF). We examined COVID-19 survivors with impaired lung function and imaging worrisome for developing PF and found within six months, symptoms, restriction and PF improved in some (Early-Resolving COVID-PF), but persisted in others (Late-Resolving COVID-PF). To evaluate immune mechanisms associated with recovery versus persistent PF, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing and multiplex immunostaining on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with Early- and Late-Resolving COVID-PF and compared them to age-matched controls without respiratory disease. Our analysis showed circulating monocytes were significantly reduced in Late-Resolving COVID-PF patients compared to Early-Resolving COVID-PF and non-diseased controls. Monocyte abundance correlated with pulmonary function forced vital capacity and diffusion capacity. Differential expression analysis revealed MHC-II class molecules were upregulated on the CD8 T cells of Late-Resolving COVID-PF patients but downregulated in monocytes. To determine whether these immune signatures resembled other interstitial lung diseases, we analyzed samples from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients. IPF patients had a similar marked decrease in monocyte HLA-DR protein expression compared to Late-Resolving COVID-PF patients. Our findings indicate decreased circulating monocytes is associates with decreased lung function and uniquely distinguishes Late-Resolving COVID-PF from Early-Resolving COVID-PF, IPF, and non-diseased controls.

Project description:Over two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the human immune response to SARS-CoV-2 during the active disease phase has been extensively studied. However, the long-term impact after recovery, which is critical to advance our understanding SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19-associated long-term complications, remains largely unknown. Herein, we characterized single-cell profiles of circulating immune cells in the peripheral blood of 100 patients, including convalescent COVID-19 and sero-negative controls. Flow cytometry analyses revealed reduced frequencies of both short-lived monocytes and long-lived regulatory T (Treg) cells within the patients who have recovered from severe COVID-19. sc-RNA seq analysis identifies seven heterogeneous clusters of monocytes and nine Treg clusters featuring distinct molecular signatures in association with COVID-19 severity. Asymptomatic patients contain the most abundant clusters of monocytes and Tregs expressing high CD74 or IFN-responsive genes. In contrast, the patients recovered from a severe disease have shown two dominant inflammatory monocyte clusters featuring S100 family genes: one monocyte cluster of S100A8 & A9 coupled with high HLA-I and another cluster of S100A4 & A6 with high HLA-II genes, a specific non-classical monocyte cluster with distinct IFITM family genes, as well as a unique TGF-β high Treg Cluster. The outpatients and seronegative controls share most of the monocyte and Treg clusters patterns with high expression of HLA genes. Surprisingly, while presumably short-lived monocytes appear to have sustained alterations over 4 months, the decreased frequencies of long-lived Tregs (high HLA-DRA and S100A6) in the outpatients restore over the tested convalescent time (≥ 4 months). Collectively, our study identifies sustained and dynamically altered monocytes and Treg clusters with distinct molecular signatures after recovery, associated with COVID-19 severity.

Project description:Mechanisms that may allow circulating monocytes to persist as CD4 T cells diminish in HIV-1 infection have not been investigated. We have characterized steady-state gene expression signatures in circulating monocytes from HIV-infected subjects and have identified a stable anti-apoptosis gene signature comprised of 38 genes associated with p53, CD40L, TNF and MAPKinase signaling networks. The significance of this gene signature is indicated by our demonstration of cadmium chloride- or Fas ligand-induced apoptosis resistance in circulating monocytes in contrast to increasing apoptosis in CD4 T cells from the same infected subjects. As potential mechanisms in vivo, we show that monocyte CCR5 binding by HIV-1 virus or agonist chemokines serve as independent viral and host modulators resulting in increased monocyte apoptosis resistance in vitro. We also show evidence for concordance between circulating monocyte apoptosis-related gene expression in HIV-1 infection in vivo and available datasets following viral infection or envelope exposure in monocyte derived macrophages in vitro. The identification of in vivo gene expression associated with monocyte resistance to apoptosis is of relevance to AIDS pathogenesis since it would contribute to: (1) maintaining viability of infection targets and long-term reservoirs of HIV-1 infection in the monocyte/macrophage populations, and (2) protecting a cell subset critical to host survival in spite of sustained high viral replication.

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen responsible for the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), an infectious disease characterized by a broad spectrum of symptoms, from mild to severe. Even though the COVID-19 impact on the proteome, metabolome, and lipidome has been largely investigated in different bio-fluids, to date the circulating peptidome remains unexplored. Thus, the present study aimed to apply an untargeted peptidomic approach to provide insight into alterations of circulating peptides in the development and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The circulating peptidome from COVID-19 severe and mildly symptomatic patients and negative controls was characterized using LC-MS/MS analysis for identification and quantification purposes. Database search and statistical analysis allowed a complete characterization of the plasma peptidome and the detection of the most significant modulated peptides that were impacted by the infection. Our results highlighted not only that peptide abundance inversely correlates with disease severity but also the involvement of biomolecules belonging to inflammatory, immune-response, and coagulation proteins/processes. Moreover, our data suggested a possible involvement of changes in protein degradation patterns. In the present research, for the first time, the untargeted peptidomic approach enabled the identification of circulating peptides potentially playing a crucial role in the progression of COVID-19.

Project description:Severe COVID-19 disease is associated with dysregulation of the myeloid compartment during acute infection. Survivors frequently experience long-lasting sequelae but little is known about the eventual persistence of this immune alteration. Herein, we evaluated Toll-like receptor-induced cytokine responses in a cohort of mild to critical patients during acute or convalescent phases (n=97). In the acute phase, we observed impaired cytokine production by monocytes in the most severe patients. This capacity was globally restored in convalescent patients. Yet, we observed increased responsiveness to TLR1/2 ligation in patients that recovered from severe disease, indicating that these cells display distinct functional properties at the different stages of the disease. We identified a specific transcriptomic and epigenomic state in monocytes from acute severe patients that can account for their functional refractoriness. The molecular profile of monocytes from recovering patients was distinct and characterized by increased chromatin accessibility at AP-1 and MAF loci. These results demonstrate that severe COVID-19 infection has a profound impact on the differentiation status and function of circulating monocytes both during the acute and the convalescent phases in a completely distinct manner. This could have important implications for our understanding of short and long-term COVID19-related morbidity.
