<body><p id="Par1">The novel contagious primary atypical pneumonia epidemic, which broke out in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, is now formally called Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), with the causative virus named as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>
</sup>
Recent studies have shown that in addition to dyspnea, hypoxemia, and acute respiratory distress, lymphopenia, and cytokine release syndrome are also important clinical features in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>
</sup>
This suggests that homeostasis of the immune system plays an important role in the development of COVID-19 pneumonia.</p>
<p id="Par2">To provide direct evidence on leukocyte homeostasis, we studied the immunological characteristics of peripheral blood leukocytes from 16 patients admitted to the Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases, Kunming, China. Among them, 10 were mild cases, 6 were severe cases; 7 were ≥50 years old, 11 were younger; and 6 had baseline diabetes, hypertension, or coronary atherosclerosis (Supplementary Table <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">S1</xref>
). Similar to the healthy group (<italic>n</italic>
= 6), the absolute numbers of cells of major leukocyte subsets in peripheral blood remained at a normal level in both mild and severe patients. Different from that reported by Chen et al.,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>
</sup>
we did not observe increased neutrophils or decreased lymphocytes. Instead, we found that the severe group had a significant reduction in granulocytes compared to the mild group (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1a</xref>
). It has been reported that elevated inflammatory mediators play a crucial role in fatal pneumonia caused by pathogenic human coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>
</sup>
We therefore examined whether inflammatory mediators can impact progression in COVID-19 patients. However, no statistical differences in interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plasma concentrations were found among the three groups. Although patients had higher sCD14 levels than healthy people, there were no significant differences between the severe and mild groups (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1b</xref>
).<fig id="Fig1"><label>Fig. 1</label>

<p id="Par3">Virus-induced inflammatory factor storms can cause a systemic T cell response, reflected as changes in the differentiation and activity of T cells.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>
</sup>
Here, as significant differences in virus-induced inflammatory cytokines were not detected, we next examined whether homeostasis was perturbed in T cells at the cellular level (Supplementary Table <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">S2</xref>
, Supplementary Fig. <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">S1</xref>
). As shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1c</xref>
, the proportions of multiple molecules related to T cell activation and regulation increased significantly in patients compared to healthy controls, but several functional molecules showed a marked decrease. Among the differentially expressed functional molecules, the levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and TNF-α in CD4+ T cells were lower in the severe group than in the mild group, whereas the levels of granzyme B and perforin in CD8+ T cells were higher in the severe group than in the mild group. The activation molecules showed no differences in CD4+ T cells, whereas the levels of HLA-DR and TIGIT in CD8+ T cells were higher in the severe group than in the mild group (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1c</xref>
). These data indicate that COVID-19, similar to some chronic infections, damages the function of CD4+ T cells and promotes excessive activation and possibly subsequent exhaustion of CD8+ T cells. Together, these perturbations of T cell subsets may eventually diminish host antiviral immunity.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p id="Par4">Usually a single molecule does not adequately predict disease progression. We therefore further performed cluster analysis on marker expression using data obtained from flow cytometry. Our results showed significant differences among the three subject groups in the level of exhaustion modules, including PD-1, CTLA-4, and TIGIT, and functional modules, including IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-2 (Supplementary Figs. <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">S2</xref>
, <xref rid="MOESM1" ref-type="media">3</xref>
). Compared with the healthy control and mild group, the frequency of multi-functional CD4+ T cells (positive for at least two cytokines) decreased significantly in the severe group, whereas the proportion of non-functional (IFN-γ−TNF-α−IL-2−) subsets increased significantly. Studies have shown that multi-functional T cells can better control human immunodeficiency virus in natural infection and are correlated with better outcomes during vaccination; thus, the functional damage of CD4+ T cells may have predisposed COVID-19 patients to severe disease.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>
</sup>
Li et al.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>
</sup>
showed that these multi-functional CD4+ T cells occur more frequently in patients with severe SARS infections than in moderate infections. This indicates that SARS-CoV-2 may possess a unique immune pathology compared to other coronaviruses. In CD8+ T cells, the frequency of the non-exhausted (PD-1−CTLA-4−TIGIT−) subset in the severe group was significantly lower than that in the other two groups (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1d</xref>
). Because functional blockade of PD-1, CTLA-4, and TIGIT is beneficial for CD8+ T cells to maintain lasting antigen-specific immunity and antiviral effects,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>
</sup>
the excessive exhaustion of CD8+ T cells in severe patients may reduce their cellular immune response to SARS-CoV-2.</p>
<p id="Par5">To gain a comprehensive view of the above measured parameters, we also performed a correlation network analysis, and identified variables significantly related to COVID-19 disease progression, including age, chronic ailment, loss of functional diversity in CD4+ T cells, and increased expression of regulatory molecules, especially TIGIT, in CD8+ T cells (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1e</xref>
). Subsequent hierarchical cluster analysis showed that these immunological factors could better distinguish healthy, mild, and severe patients, independent of age and chronic ailment (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1f</xref>
). In conclusion, our study identified potential immunological risk factors for COVID-19 pneumonia and provided clues for its clinical treatment.</p>
