Résumé

Many questions remain unanswered regarding the implication of lipid metabolites in severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. By re-analyzed sequencing data from the nasopharynx of a previously published cohort, we found that We performed a total fatty acid panel on plasma and bulk RNA-seq analysis on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected from 10 infected and 10 uninfected patients. Univariate comparison of lipid metabolites revealed that lipid metabolites were increased in SARS-CoV-2 patients including the lipid mediators Arachidonic Acid (AA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA). AA, EPA and the fatty acids Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), were positively correlated to WHO disease severity score. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that COVID-19 patients can be segregated based on WHO scores. Ontology, KEGG and Reactome analysis identified pathways enriched for genes related to innate immunity, interactions between lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells, interleukin signaling and, cell cycling pathways. Our study offers an association between nasopharynx mucosa eicosanoid genes expression, specific serum inflammatory lipids and, subsequent DNA damage pathways activation in PBMCs to severity of COVID-19 infection.

Methods and findings UNASSIGNED
We performed a total fatty acid panel on plasma and bulk RNA-seq analysis on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected from 10 infected and 10 uninfected patients. Univariate comparison of lipid metabolites revealed that lipid metabolites were increased in SARS-CoV-2 patients including the lipid mediators Arachidonic Acid (AA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA). AA, EPA and the fatty acids Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), were positively correlated to WHO disease severity score. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that COVID-19 patients can be segregated based on WHO scores. Ontology, KEGG and Reactome analysis identified pathways enriched for genes related to innate immunity, interactions between lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells, interleukin signaling and, cell cycling pathways.
Conclusions UNASSIGNED
Our study offers an association between nasopharynx mucosa eicosanoid genes expression, specific serum inflammatory lipids and, subsequent DNA damage pathways activation in PBMCs to severity of COVID-19 infection.
