Popis: Temporal resolution of cellular features associated with a severe COVID-19 disease trajectory is required for understanding skewed immune responses and finding outcome predictors. Here, we performed a longitudinal multi-omics study using a two-centre cohort of 14 patients. We analysed the bulk transcriptome, bulk DNA methylome, and single-cell transcriptome (>358,000 cells, including BCR profiles) of peripheral blood samples harvested from up to 5 time points. Validation was performed in two independent cohorts of COVID-19 patients. Severe COVID-19 was characterized by an increase of proliferating, metabolically hyperactive plasmablasts. Coinciding with critical illness, we also identified an expansion of IFN-activated circulating megakaryocytes and increased erythropoiesis with features of hypoxic signalling. Megakaryocyte- and erythroid cell-derived co-expression modules were predictive of fatal disease outcome. The study demonstrates broad cellular effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection beyond classical immune cells and may serve as an entry point to develop biomarkers and targeted treatments of patients with COVID-19.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • SARS-CoV2 infection elicits dynamic changes of circulating cells in the blood • Severe COVID-19 is characterized by increased metabolically active plasmablasts • Elevation of IFN-activated megakaryocytes and erythroid cells in severe COVID-19 • Cell-type specific expression signatures are associated with a fatal COVID-19 outcome
Bernardes et al. explore COVID-19 disease trajectories by performing longitudinal multi-omics analyses in peripheral blood samples from hospitalized patients. The analyses identify increased numbers of plasmablasts, interferon-activated megakaryocytes and erythroid cells as hallmarks of severe disease, and define molecular signatures linked to a fatal COVID-19 disease outcome.
