    Abstract
    Immune system dysfunction is paramount in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity and fatality rate. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells involved in mucosal immunity and protection against viral infections. Here, we studied the immune cell landscape, with emphasis on MAIT cells, in cohorts totaling 208 patients with various stages of disease. MAIT cell frequency is strongly reduced in blood. They display a strong activated and cytotoxic phenotype that is more pronounced in lungs. Blood MAIT cell alterations positively correlate with the activation of other innate cells, proinflammatory cytokines, notably interleukin (IL)-18, and with the severity and mortality of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. We also identified a monocyte/macrophage interferon (IFN)-α–IL-18 cytokine shift and the ability of infected macrophages to induce the cytotoxicity of MAIT cells in an MR1-dependent manner. Together, our results suggest that altered MAIT cell functions due to IFN-α–IL-18 imbalance contribute to disease severity, and their therapeutic manipulation may prevent deleterious inflammation in COVID-19 aggravation.

    • Nature Immunology于2月2日发表了法国Bichat-Claude Bernard大学医院和巴黎大学等的文章“Outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to MAIT cell activation and cytotoxicity”，文章描述了SARS-CoV-2感染的结果与MAIT细胞激活和细胞毒性有关。 文章称，免疫系统功能障碍对COVID-19的严重程度和致死率至关重要。黏膜相关恒定T细胞（MAIT）是天然的T细胞，参与粘膜免疫和保护免受病毒感染。在该研究中，研究人员共研究了208名不同疾病阶段COVID-19患者队列中的免疫细胞景观，重点是MAIT细胞。血液中MAIT细胞的频率大大降低。它们显示出很强的活化和细胞毒性表型，在肺中更为明显。血液MAIT细胞的改变与其他先天细胞、促炎细胞因子（尤其是白介素（IL）-18）的活化以及SARS-CoV-2感染的严重程度和死亡率成正相关。该研究还确定了单核细胞/巨噬细胞干扰素（IFN）-α–IL-18细胞因子转移，以及感染的巨噬细胞以MR1依赖性方式诱导MAIT细胞的细胞毒性的能力。综上所述，该研究结果表明，IFN-α-IL-18失衡导致的MAIT细胞功能改变加剧了疾病的严重程度，其治疗方法可预防COVID-19加重期间的有害炎症。 来源：https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-021-00870-z

    • SARS-CoV-2 triggers inflammatory responses and cell death through caspase-8 activation Shufen Li, Yulan Zhang, Zhenqiong Guan, Huiling Li, Meidi Ye, Xi Chen, Jun Shen, Yiwu Zhou, Zheng-Li Shi, Peng Zhou & Ke Peng Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy volume 5, Article number: 235 (2020) Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can lead to respiratory illness and multi-organ failure in critically ill patients. Although the virus-induced lung damage and inflammatory cytokine storm are believed to be directly associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical manifestations, the underlying mechanisms of virus-triggered inflammatory responses are currently unknown. Here we report that SARS-CoV-2 infection activates caspase-8 to trigger cell apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine processing in the lung epithelial cells. The processed inflammatory cytokines are released through the virus-induced necroptosis pathway. Virus-induced apoptosis, necroptosis, and inflammation activation were also observed in the lung sections of SARS-CoV-2-infected HFH4-hACE2 transgenic mouse model, a valid model for studying SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. Furthermore, analysis of the postmortem lung sections of fatal COVID-19 patients revealed not only apoptosis and necroptosis but also massive inflammatory cell infiltration, necrotic cell debris, and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, typical of immune pathogenesis in the lung. The SARS-CoV-2 infection triggered a dual mode of cell death pathways and caspase-8-dependent inflammatory responses may lead to the lung damage in the COVID-19 patients. These discoveries might assist the development of therapeutic strategies to treat COVID-19.
