We aim to establish a comprehensive COVID-19 autoantigen atlas in order to understand autoimmune diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Based on the unique affinity between dermatan sulfate and autoantigens, we identified 348 proteins from human lung A549 cells, of which 198 are known targets of autoantibodies. Comparison with current COVID data identified 291 proteins that are altered at protein or transcript level in SARS-CoV-2 infection, with 191 being known autoantigens. These known and putative autoantigens are significantly associated with viral replication and trafficking processes, including gene expression, ribonucleoprotein biogenesis, mRNA metabolism, translation, vesicle and vesicle-mediated transport, and apoptosis. They are also associated with cytoskeleton, platelet degranulation, IL-12 signaling, and smooth muscle contraction. Host proteins that interact with and that are perturbed by viral proteins are a major source of autoantigens. Orf3 induces the largest number of protein alterations, Orf9 affects the mitochondrial ribosome, and they and E, M, N, and Nsp proteins affect protein localization to membrane, immune responses, and apoptosis. Phosphorylation and ubiquitination alterations by viral infection define major molecular changes in autoantigen origination. This study provides a large list of autoantigens as well as new targets for future investigation, e.g., UBA1, UCHL1, USP7, CDK11A, PRKDC, PLD3, PSAT1, RAB1A, SLC2A1, platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase, and mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. This study illustrates how viral infection can modify host cellular proteins extensively, yield diverse autoantigens, and trigger a myriad of autoimmune sequelae. Our work provides a rich resource for studies into "long COVID" and related autoimmune sequelae.
我们旨在建立一个全面的新冠病毒自身抗原图谱,以了解由SARS-CoV-2感染引起的自身免疫性疾病。基于硫酸皮肤素与自身抗原之间的独特亲和力,我们从人肺A549细胞中鉴定出348种蛋白质,其中198种是已知的自身抗体靶点。与当前新冠病毒数据的比较发现,有291种蛋白质在SARS-CoV-2感染中在蛋白质或转录水平上发生了改变,其中191种是已知的自身抗原。这些已知和推定的自身抗原与病毒复制和运输过程显著相关,包括基因表达、核糖核蛋白生物合成、mRNA代谢、翻译、囊泡和囊泡介导的运输以及细胞凋亡。它们还与细胞骨架、血小板脱颗粒、IL-12信号传导和平滑肌收缩有关。与病毒蛋白相互作用并受到病毒蛋白干扰的宿主蛋白是自身抗原的主要来源。Orf3诱导的蛋白质改变数量最多,Orf9影响线粒体核糖体,它们以及E、M、N和Nsp蛋白影响蛋白质在膜上的定位、免疫反应和细胞凋亡。病毒感染引起的磷酸化和泛素化改变定义了自身抗原产生中的主要分子变化。本研究提供了大量的自身抗原清单以及未来研究的新靶点,例如UBA1、UCHL1、USP7、CDK11A、PRKDC、PLD3、PSAT1、RAB1A、SLC2A1、血小板活化因子乙酰水解酶和线粒体核糖体蛋白。本研究说明了病毒感染如何广泛修饰宿主细胞蛋白、产生多种自身抗原并引发无数自身免疫后遗症。我们的工作为研究“长新冠”及相关自身免疫后遗症提供了丰富的资源。
