Dissecting the common and compartment-specific features of COVID-19 severity in the lung and periphery with single-cell resolution 2020-06-19 .txt text/plain 10003 421 39 Bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) studies have identified stark transcriptional differences between bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, indicating that immunological responses may be highly compartment-specific [21, 22] . We used identical methods to separately analyze multi-donor scRNA-seq datasets from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in COVID-19 patients classified by severity strata as well as healthy control subjects to investigate severity-specific immune dysregulation in the lung and periphery. When we increased this analysis to include all of the cell types found in the BALF (Figure 3A We next investigated pathway-level changes occurring in PBMCs and found that differential gene expression between ARDS and non-ARDS patients supported the detection of statistically enriched pathways through GSEA. ./cache/cord-277648-9kxwkcbl.txt ./txt/cord-277648-9kxwkcbl.txt
