RESUMO

Comprehensive expression quantitative trait loci studies have been instrumental for understanding tissue-specific gene regulation and pinpointing functional genes for disease-associated loci in a tissue-specific manner. Compared to gene expressions, proteins more directly affect various biological processes, often dysregulated in disease, and are important drug targets. We previously performed and identified tissue-specific protein quantitative trait loci in brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma. We now enhance this work by analyzing more proteins (1,300 versus 1,079) and an almost twofold increase in high quality imputed genetic variants (8.4 million versus 4.4 million) by using TOPMed reference panel. We identified 38 genomic regions associated with 43 proteins in brain, 150 regions associated with 247 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid, and 95 regions associated with 145 proteins in plasma. Compared to our previous study, this study newly identified 12 loci in brain, 30 loci in cerebrospinal fluid, and 22 loci in plasma. Our improved genomic atlas uncovers the genetic control of protein regulation across multiple tissues. These resources are accessible through the Online Neurodegenerative Trait Integrative Multi-Omics Explorer for use by the scientific community.

RESUMO

Identification of proteins dysregulated by COVID-19 infection is critically important for better understanding of its pathophysiology, building prognostic models, and identifying new targets. Plasma proteomic profiling of 4,301 proteins was performed in two independent datasets and tested for the association for three COVID-19 outcomes (infection, ventilation, and death). We identified 1,449 proteins consistently associated in both datasets with any of these three outcomes. We subsequently created highly accurate models that distinctively predict infection, ventilation, and death. These proteins were enriched in specific biological processes including cytokine signaling, Alzheimer's disease, and coronary artery disease. Mendelian randomization and gene network analyses identified eight causal proteins and 141 highly connected hub proteins including 35 with known drug targets. Our findings provide distinctive prognostic biomarkers for two severe COVID-19 outcomes, reveal their relationship to Alzheimer's disease and coronary artery disease, and identify potential therapeutic targets for COVID-19 outcomes.

RESUMO

Identification of the plasma proteomic changes of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is essential to understanding the pathophysiology of the disease and developing predictive models and novel therapeutics. We performed plasma deep proteomic profiling from 332 COVID-19 patients and 150 controls and pursued replication in an independent cohort (297 cases and 76 controls) to find potential biomarkers and causal proteins for three COVID-19 outcomes (infection, ventilation, and death). We identified and replicated 1,449 proteins associated with any of the three outcomes (841 for infection, 833 for ventilation, and 253 for death) that can be query on a web portal ( https://covid.proteomics.wustl.edu/ ). Using those proteins and machine learning approached we created and validated specific prediction models for ventilation (AUC>0.91), death (AUC>0.95) and either outcome (AUC>0.80). These proteins were also enriched in specific biological processes, including immune and cytokine signaling (FDR ≤ 3.72×10 -14 ), Alzheimer's disease (FDR ≤ 5.46×10 -10 ) and coronary artery disease (FDR ≤ 4.64×10 -2 ). Mendelian randomization using pQTL as instrumental variants nominated BCAT2 and GOLM1 as a causal proteins for COVID-19. Causal gene network analyses identified 141 highly connected key proteins, of which 35 have known drug targets with FDA-approved compounds. Our findings provide distinctive prognostic biomarkers for two severe COVID-19 outcomes (ventilation and death), reveal their relationship to Alzheimer's disease and coronary artery disease, and identify potential therapeutic targets for COVID-19 outcomes.
