Experiment Overview

Repository ID: FR-FCM-Z3GH Experiment name: COVID PREGNANT MIFlowCyt score: 47.75%
Primary researcher: Sara De Biasi PI/manager: Sara De Biasi Uploaded by: Sara De Biasi
Experiment dates: 2020-08-03 - 2021-02-01 Dataset uploaded: Feb 2021 Last updated: Apr 2021
Keywords: [cytokines] [CyTOF] [COVID-19] [pregnant] Manuscripts:
Organizations: University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, (Italy)
Purpose: To investigate PBMC landscape of Pregnant women with with COVID-19 infection.
Conclusion: Unsupervised analyses revealed that most immune parameters were similar in patients and uninfected controls, apart from an increase in low density neutrophils in SARS-CoV-2 positive women. Also, patients did not show altered plasma levels of interleukin-6 or other main inflammatory molecules, but displayed significant increases of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1RA, IL-10 and IL-19, and decreased levels of IL-17, PD-L1 and D-dimer. The control of inflammation, as evidenced by soluble molecule levels, could be a possible strategy used during pregnancy to avoid virus-induced damages and maintain a normal immune response.
Comments: In 14 pregnant women who had asymptomatic or mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, we performed a detailed 38-parameter analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells by mass cytometry, studied the expression of T-cell master regular genes, investigated cell proliferation and cytokine production, and measured plasma levels of 62 cytokines. No patient showed lymphopenia or gross alterations of white blood cells.
Funding: This study also received unrestricted donations from Glem Gas spa (San Cesario, Modena, Italy), Sanfelice 1893 Banca Popolare (San Felice S.P., Modena, Italy) and Rotary Club Distretto 2072 (Clubs: Modena, Modena L.A. Muratori, Carpi, Sassuolo, Castelvetro di Modena), C.O.F.I.M. spa & Gianni Gibellini, Franco Appari, Andrea Lucchi, Federica Vagnarelli, Biogas Europa Service & Massimo Faccia, Pierangelo Bertoli Fans Club and Alberto Bertoli, Maria Santoro, Valentina Spezzani and BPER Banca. Finally, special thanks to the patients who donated blood to participate to this study.
