The TIGIT+ T regulatory cells subset associates with nosocomial infection and fatal outcome in COVID-19 patients under mechanical ventilation

The TIGIT + FOXP3 + Treg subset (TIGIT + Tregs) exerts robust suppressive activity on cellular immunity and predisposes septic individuals to opportunistic infection. We hypothesized that TIGIT + Tregs could play an important role in intensifying the COVID-19 severity and hampering the defense again...

Shrnutí:The TIGIT + FOXP3 + Treg subset (TIGIT + Tregs) exerts robust suppressive activity on cellular immunity and predisposes septic individuals to opportunistic infection. We hypothesized that TIGIT + Tregs could play an important role in intensifying the COVID-19 severity and hampering the defense against nosocomial infections during hospitalization. Herein we aimed to verify the association between the levels of the TIGIT + Tregs with the mechanical ventilation requirement, fatal outcome, and bacteremia during hospitalization. TIGIT + Tregs were immunophenotyped by flow cytometry from the peripheral blood of 72 unvaccinated hospitalized COVID-19 patients at admission from May 29th to August 6th, 2020. The patients were stratified during hospitalization according to their mechanical ventilation requirement and fatal outcome. COVID-19 resulted in a high prevalence of the TIGIT + Tregs at admission, which progressively increased in patients with mechanical ventilation needs and fatal outcomes. The prevalence of TIGIT + Tregs positively correlated with poor pulmonary function and higher plasma levels of LDH, HMGB1, FGL2, and TNF. The non-survivors presented higher plasma levels of IL-33, HMGB1, FGL2, IL-10, IL-6, and 5.54 times more bacteremia than survivors. Conclusions: The expansion of the TIGIT + Tregs in COVID-19 patients was associated with inflammation, lung dysfunction, bacteremia, and fatal outcome.
