description BackgroundFactors leading to severe COVID-19 remain partially known. New biomarkers predicting COVID-19 severity that are also causally involved in disease pathogenesis could improve patient management and contribute to the development of innovative therapies. Autophagy, a cytosolic structure degradation pathway is involved in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, degradation of intracellular pathogens and generation of energy for immune responses. Acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) is a key regulator of autophagy in the context of diabetes, obesity and anorexia. The objective of our work was to assess whether circulating ACBP levels are associated with COVID-19 severity, using proteomics data from the plasma of 903 COVID-19 patients.MethodsSomalogic proteomic analysis was used to detect 5000 proteins in plasma samples collected between March 2020 and August 2021 from hospitalized participants in the province of Quebec, Canada. Plasma samples from 903 COVID-19 patients collected during their admission during acute phase of COVID-19 and 295 hospitalized controls were assessed leading to 1198 interpretable proteomic profiles. Levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG were measured by ELISA and a cell-binding assay.ResultsThe median age of the participants was 59 years, 46% were female, 65% had comorbidities. Plasma ACBP levels correlated with COVID-19 severity, in association with inflammation and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels, independently of sex or the presence of comorbidities. Samples collected during the second COVID-19 wave in Quebec had higher levels of plasma ACBP than during the first wave. Plasma ACBP levels were negatively correlated with biomarkers of T and NK cell responses interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-21, independently of age, sex, and severity.ConclusionsCirculating ACBP levels can be considered a biomarker of COVID-19 severity linked to inflammation. The contribution of extracellular ACBP to immunometabolic responses during viral infection should be further studied.
