    Single-cell RNA-Seq results of nasopharyngeal/pharyngeal swabs, bronchial brushings and bronchial lavages were generated from patients with COVID-19 ( n = 19) and healthy controls ( n = 5). Data are extracted from Chua et al. . ( A ) Both ANPEP (codes for CD13) and MMP14 are expressed on various epithelial cells and macrophages. ANPEP is also expressed on neutrophils while MMP14 is expressed on mast cells. BDKRB1 (codes for B1R) is expressed on some epithelial cells with the highest expression on secretory cells and ciliated cells. F2RL3 (codes for PAR4) was barely detected in this dataset but seemed to be expressed by epithelial cells. Cell abbreviations are defined in . ( B ) Cellular ANPEP expression in nasopharyngeal cells is elevated in patients with COVID-19 (moderate COVID-19 n = 8, severe COVID-19 n = 11) compared with healthy controls ( n = 5). ( C ) Using the median expression levels of ANPEP in patients, patients with COVID-19 were divided into 2 populations: ANPEP -high and ANPEP -low. Differentially expressed genes in neutrophils from these 2 groups were shown in the volcano plot ( P < 1 × 10 –20 , |log 2 (fold-change)| < 0.25). ( D ) Pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes in ANPEP -high and ANPEP -low neutrophils showed pathways related to neutrophil degranulation, leukocyte activation, and inflammation. ( E ) The neutrophils from ANPEP -high patients with COVID-19 ( n = 10) showed a gene signature of immature-like neutrophils characterized by the overexpression of genes coding for several granule-content proteins (healthy controls n = 5, ANPEP -low n = 9). ( F ) The score for neutrophil immaturity was higher in critically ill patients with COVID-19 ( n = 11) compared with moderate patients (left, n = 8). The median neutrophil-immaturity score of neutrophils in ANPEP -high patients ( n = 10) was lower than that in ANPEP -low patients (right, n = 9). ( G ) The neutrophil-immaturity signature was most prominent in ANPEP -high patients ( n = 10) as developing neutrophils versus mature neutrophils from the peripheral blood were examined (healthy controls n = 5, ANPEP -low n = 9). Results are expressed as mean ± SD. **** P < 0.0001. Significance was determined by 1-way ANOVA ( B and G ) and Mann-Whitney test ( F ).

( E ) The neutrophils from ANPEP -high patients with COVID-19 ( n = 10) showed a gene signature of immature-like neutrophils characterized by the overexpression of genes coding for several granule-content proteins (healthy controls n = 5, ANPEP -low n = 9). ( F ) The score for neutrophil immaturity was higher in critically ill patients with COVID-19 ( n = 11) compared with moderate patients (left, n = 8). The median neutrophil-immaturity score of neutrophils in ANPEP -high patients ( n = 10) was lower than that in ANPEP -low patients (right, n = 9). ( G ) The neutrophil-immaturity signature was most prominent in ANPEP -high patients ( n = 10) as developing neutrophils versus mature neutrophils from the peripheral blood were examined (healthy controls n = 5, ANPEP -low n = 9). Results are expressed as mean ± SD. **** P < 0.0001. Significance was determined by 1-way ANOVA ( B and G ) and Mann-Whitney test ( F ).

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Single-cell RNA-Seq results of nasopharyngeal/pharyngeal swabs, bronchial brushings and bronchial lavages were generated from patients with COVID-19 ( n = 19) and healthy controls ( n = 5). Data are extracted from Chua et al. . ( A ) Both ANPEP (codes for CD13) and MMP14 are expressed on various epithelial cells and macrophages. ANPEP is also expressed on neutrophils while MMP14 is expressed on mast cells. BDKRB1 (codes for B1R) is expressed on some epithelial cells with the highest expression on secretory cells and ciliated cells. F2RL3 (codes for PAR4) was barely detected in this dataset but seemed to be expressed by epithelial cells. Cell abbreviations are defined in . ( B ) Cellular ANPEP expression in nasopharyngeal cells is elevated in patients with COVID-19 (moderate COVID-19 n = 8, severe COVID-19 n = 11) compared with healthy controls ( n = 5). ( C ) Using the median expression levels of ANPEP in patients, patients with COVID-19 were divided into 2 populations: ANPEP -high and ANPEP -low. Differentially expressed genes in neutrophils from these 2 groups were shown in the volcano plot ( P < 1 × 10 –20 , |log 2 (fold-change)| < 0.25). ( D ) Pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes in ANPEP -high and ANPEP -low neutrophils showed pathways related to neutrophil degranulation, leukocyte activation, and inflammation.
