ABSTRACT
The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been substantial. Emerging evidence underscores a strong clinical connection between COVID-19 and sepsis. Numerous studies have identified the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway as a crucial pathogenic pathway for both COVID-19 and sepsis, but it remains to be investigated whether this signaling pathway operates as a common pathogenic mechanism for both COVID-19 and sepsis. In this study, single-cell RNA-seq data and transcriptome data for COVID-19 and sepsis cases were downloaded from GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus). By analyzing the single-cell transcriptome data, we identified B cells as the critical cell subset and the UPR pathway as the critical signaling pathway. Based on the transcriptome data, a machine learning diagnostic model was then constructed using the interleaved genes of B-cell-related and UPR-pathway-related genes. We validated the diagnostic model using both internal and external datasets and found the accuracy and stability of this model to be extremely strong. Even after integrating our algorithmic model with the patient's clinical status, it continued to yield identical results, further emphasizing the reliability of this model. This study provides a novel molecular perspective on the pathogenesis of sepsis and COVID-19 at the single-cell level and suggests that these two diseases may share a common mechanism.
