Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the sentinel cells of alveolar space, maintaining homeostasis, fending off pathogens, and controlling lung inflammation. During acute injury, AMs orchestrate initiation resolution inflammation in order to ultimately restore homeostasis. This central role makes attractive targets for therapeutic interventions. Single-cell RNA-Seq spatial omics approaches, together with methodological advances such as generation human from pluripotent stem cells, have increased understanding ontogeny, function, plasticity during infectious sterile inflammation, which could move field closer clinical application. However, proresolution phenotypes might conflict proinflammatory antibacterial responses. Therefore, targeting at vulnerable time points over course injury harbor risk serious side effects, loss host defense capacity. Thus, identification key signaling hubs that determine functional fate decisions is utmost importance harness their potential.

Single-cell technologies have transformed our understanding of human tissues. Yet, studies typically capture only a limited number donors and disagree on cell type definitions. Integrating many single-cell datasets can address these limitations individual the variability present in population. Here we integrated Human Lung Cell Atlas (HLCA), combining 49 respiratory system into single atlas spanning over 2.4 million cells from 486 individuals. The HLCA presents consensus re-annotation with matching marker genes, including annotations rare previously undescribed types. Leveraging diversity individuals HLCA, identify gene modules that are associated demographic covariates such as age, sex body mass index, well changing expression along proximal-to-distal axis bronchial tree. Mapping new data to enables rapid annotation interpretation. Using reference for study disease, shared states across multiple lung diseases, SPP1

The kinetics of the immune changes in COVID-19 across severity groups have not been rigorously assessed. Using immunophenotyping, RNA sequencing, and serum cytokine analysis, we analyzed serial samples from 207 SARS-CoV2-infected individuals with a range disease severities over 12 weeks symptom onset. An early robust bystander CD8+ T cell response, without systemic inflammation, characterized asymptomatic or mild disease. Hospitalized had delayed responses inflammation that was already evident near onset, indicating immunopathology may be inevitable some individuals. Viral load did correlate this pathological response but subsequent severity. Immune recovery is complex, profound persistent cellular abnormalities severe correlating altered inflammatory responses, signatures associated increased oxidative phosphorylation replacing those driven by cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF) interleukin (IL)-6.

Strong evidence has been accumulated since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic that neutrophils play an important role in pathophysiology, particularly those with severe disease courses. While originally considered to be a rather homogeneous cell type, recent attention uncovered their fascinating transcriptional and functional diversity as well developmental trajectories. These new findings are better understand many facets neutrophil involvement not only but also other acute or chronic inflammatory diseases, both communicable non-communicable. Here, we highlight observed immune deviation summarize several promising therapeutic attempts precisely target reactivity patients COVID-19.

Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by overproduction of immune mediators, but the role interferons (IFNs) type I (IFN-I) or III (IFN-III) families remains debated. We scrutinized production IFNs along respiratory tract COVID-19 patients and found that high levels IFN-III, to a lesser extent IFN-I, characterize upper airways with viral burden reduced risk severity. Production specific not members denotes mild pathology efficiently drives transcription genes protect against severe acute syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Epidemiological and clinical reports indicate that SARS-CoV-2 virulence hinges upon the triggering of an aberrant host immune response, more so than on direct virus-induced cellular damage. To elucidate immunopathology underlying COVID-19 severity, we perform cytokine multiplex profiling in patients. We show hypercytokinemia differs from interferon-gamma-driven storm macrophage activation syndrome, is pronounced critical versus mild-moderate COVID-19. Systems modelling levels paired with deep-immune shows classical monocytes drive this hyper-inflammatory phenotype a reduction T-lymphocytes correlates disease CD8+ cells being disproportionately affected. Antigen presenting machinery expression also reduced disease. Furthermore, report neutrophils contribute to severity local tissue damage by amplification formation neutrophil extracellular traps. Together our findings suggest myeloid-driven immunopathology, which hyperactivated ineffective adaptive system act as mediators severity.
