Purpose: | Monocyte-driven atypical cytokine storm and aberrant neutrophil activation as key mediators of COVID-19 disease severity | ||||
Conclusion: | The host immune response in symptomatic COVID-19 patients seems ineffective in clearing SARS-CoV-2, yet excessive in causing local tissue damage and hypercytokinemia. To elucidate the immunopathology underlying COVID-19 severity, cytokine profiling was performed in mild-moderate and critically-ill COVID-19 patients. Hypercytokinemia in COVID-19 differed from the IFN-γ-driven cytokine storm in macrophage activation syndrome, but was increased in critical versus mild-moderate COVID-19. Prediction modelling of cytokine levels followed by deep-immune profiling showed that classical monocytes drive this hyper-inflammatory phenotype and that both a quantitative and qualitative reduction in T-lymphocytes correlate with disease severity, with CD8+ cells being disproportionately affected. Expression of antigen presentation and co-stimulatory molecules was reduced in critical disease, while also neutrophils contributed to disease severity and local tissue damage by amplifying hypercytokinemia and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. We suggest a monocyte-driven immunopathology, in which hyperactivated neutrophils and an ineffective adaptive immune system act as mediators of COVID-19 disease severity. | ||||
