Definitions
- the present disclosure is related to biomarkers for predicting severe pulmonary conditions.
- it provides a novel in vitro method for assessing the severity of a pulmonary condition of a subject using lipid biomarkers.
- the present biomarkers can be used in methods for predicting the progress of a pulmonary condition, selecting and administering an appropriate treatment and preventing the occurrence of serious complications of a pulmonary condition.
- Pulmonary conditions are some of the most common medical conditions in the world. Lungs are a complex system bringing in oxygen, delivering oxygen into circulation and releasing carbon dioxide. A lung disease can occur when there is a problem in any part of this system. Pulmonary conditions cause a wide range of different complications and severe forms are life-threatening. There are three main types of pulmonary conditions: conditions affecting airways, conditions affecting the structure of the lung tissue, and conditions affecting circulation in the lungs.
- Pulmonary conditions affecting airways such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis, usually cause a narrowing or blockage of the airways.
- Pulmonary conditions affecting lung tissue may be caused due to scarring or inflammation of the pulmonary tissue.
- This type of lung diseases include for example pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- Pulmonary conditions affecting circulation may be caused by clotting, scarring or inflammation of the blood vessels.
- Pulmonary conditions affecting circulation include for example thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary conditions that affect the efficiency of respiration such as respiratory failure or respiratory distress syndrome may affect the circulation as well, thus causing circulatory problems such as thrombosis.
- the severity of pulmonary conditions vary considerably between the patients. Some individuals suffering from a pulmonary condition may be symptomless, whereas some develop a severe, even life-threatening, form of the condition.
- the global pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2020 has shown the importance of early detection of patients who are suffering from a severe form of the disease.
- SARS-CoV-2 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
- the early identification and effective treatment of the patients suffering from a severe condition is crucial for both the survival of the patients and sustainability of healthcare systems. In order to effectively target healthcare resources, it is essential to be able to identify the patiens who will be needing immediate enhanced care. Predicting the progression of the disease supports selecting an appropriate treatment and early initiation of the treatment which benefits the patient's recovery and survival.
- Patients suffering from a severe form of a pulmonary condition are currently diagnosed based on mainly respiratory function tests and medical imaging. However, at the time of diagnosis the patients are already at the severe phase of the condition and need urgent enhanced care. Some patients develop symptoms only when significant lung damage has already occurred, and the symptoms usually become worse over time. There are currently no methods for predicting the progress of a pulmonary condition and identifying the patients who will develop a severe condition at an early stage. Therefore, in order to enhance the treatment and recovery of the patients, new methods are needed for early identification of the high-risk patients before the manifestation of severe symptoms.
- the novel blood-based methods of the present disclosure enable early identification and treatment of the patients who are at high risk of developing a severe pulmonary condition and/or its complications.
- the methods disclosed herein are more convenient and accessible than the currently used imaging and respiratory function methods which require specific equipment.
- the biomarkers of the present disclosure offer superior performance for risk stratification of pulmonary patients. They also allow predicting and preventing the occurrence of serious complications of a pulmonary condition, including thrombosis.
- novel pulmonary biomarkers determined from a biological sample have been identified.
- the present disclosure is based on the finding that certain lipid molecules are expressed at higher levels and certain molecules are expressed at lower levels, when compared to a control, in biological samples, e.g., blood of subjects suffering from or having a risk to develop a severe pulmonary condition. Concentrations of these molecules and combinations derived thereof were found to be surprisingly superior predictive biomarkers of severe pulmonary conditions, as described herein.
- the present disclosure provides novel biomarkers, biomarker combinations and associated diagnostic methods and uses for the identification and treatment of subjects suffering from or having a risk of developing a severe pulmonary condition. Such methods and uses comprise monitoring specific lipid concentrations and combinations of specific lipid concentrations in a sample from a subject and comparing such concentrations to those in a control.
- the novel pulmonary biomarkers of the present disclosure are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Novel pulmonary biomarkers. Increased and decreased directions of change refer to a change in a quantity, amount, abundance, level or concentration of the biomarker in a sample from a subject when the subject is suffering from, or has a risk of developing, a severe pulmonary condition, when compared to a control. Abbreviations are described in the detailed description of the present disclosure. PE 35:2_sn2 PC 36:0 LPE 16:0_snl SM 44:1

Description
BIOMARKERS FOR SEVERE PULMONARY CONDITION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure is related to biomarkers for predicting severe pulmonary conditions. In particular, it provides a novel in vitro method for assessing the severity of a pulmonary condition of a subject using lipid biomarkers. In addition, the present biomarkers can be used in methods for predicting the progress of a pulmonary condition, selecting and administering an appropriate treatment and preventing the occurrence of serious complications of a pulmonary condition.
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary conditions are some of the most common medical conditions in the world. Lungs are a complex system bringing in oxygen, delivering oxygen into circulation and releasing carbon dioxide. A lung disease can occur when there is a problem in any part of this system. Pulmonary conditions cause a wide range of different complications and severe forms are life-threatening. There are three main types of pulmonary conditions: conditions affecting airways, conditions affecting the structure of the lung tissue, and conditions affecting circulation in the lungs.
Pulmonary conditions affecting airways, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis, usually cause a narrowing or blockage of the airways. Pulmonary conditions affecting lung tissue may be caused due to scarring or inflammation of the pulmonary tissue. This type of lung diseases include for example pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pulmonary conditions affecting circulation may be caused by clotting, scarring or inflammation of the blood vessels. Pulmonary conditions affecting circulation include for example thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary conditions that affect the efficiency of respiration such as respiratory failure or respiratory distress syndrome may affect the circulation as well, thus causing circulatory problems such as thrombosis.
The severity of pulmonary conditions vary considerably between the patients. Some individuals suffering from a pulmonary condition may be symptomless, whereas some develop a severe, even life-threatening, form of the condition. The global pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2020 has shown the importance of early detection of patients who are suffering from a severe form of the disease. The early identification and effective treatment of the patients suffering from a severe condition is crucial for both the survival of the patients and sustainability of healthcare systems.
In order to effectively target healthcare resources, it is essential to be able to identify the patiens who will be needing immediate enhanced care. Predicting the progression of the disease supports selecting an appropriate treatment and early initiation of the treatment which benefits the patient's recovery and survival.
Patients suffering from a severe form of a pulmonary condition are currently diagnosed based on mainly respiratory function tests and medical imaging. However, at the time of diagnosis the patients are already at the severe phase of the condition and need urgent enhanced care. Some patients develop symptoms only when significant lung damage has already occurred, and the symptoms usually become worse over time. There are currently no methods for predicting the progress of a pulmonary condition and identifying the patients who will develop a severe condition at an early stage. Therefore, in order to enhance the treatment and recovery of the patients, new methods are needed for early identification of the high-risk patients before the manifestation of severe symptoms.
The novel blood-based methods of the present disclosure enable early identification and treatment of the patients who are at high risk of developing a severe pulmonary condition and/or its complications. The methods disclosed herein are more convenient and accessible than the currently used imaging and respiratory function methods which require specific equipment. The biomarkers of the present disclosure offer superior performance for risk stratification of pulmonary patients. They also allow predicting and preventing the occurrence of serious complications of a pulmonary condition, including thrombosis.
SUMMARY
In the present disclosure, novel pulmonary biomarkers determined from a biological sample have been identified. The present disclosure is based on the finding that certain lipid molecules are expressed at higher levels and certain molecules are expressed at lower levels, when compared to a control, in biological samples, e.g., blood of subjects suffering from or having a risk to develop a severe pulmonary condition. Concentrations of these molecules and combinations derived thereof were found to be surprisingly superior predictive biomarkers of severe pulmonary conditions, as described herein.
The present disclosure provides novel biomarkers, biomarker combinations and associated diagnostic methods and uses for the identification and treatment of subjects suffering from or having a risk of developing a severe pulmonary condition. Such methods and uses comprise monitoring specific lipid concentrations and combinations of specific lipid concentrations in a sample from a subject and comparing such concentrations to those in a control. The novel pulmonary biomarkers of the present disclosure are presented in Table 1.
Table 1. Novel pulmonary biomarkers. Increased and decreased directions of change refer to a change in a quantity, amount, abundance, level or concentration of the biomarker in a sample from a subject when the subject is suffering from, or has a risk of developing, a severe pulmonary condition, when compared to a control. Abbreviations are described in the detailed description of the present disclosure.

In order that the present invention may be more readily understood, certain terms are defined herein. Additional definitions are set forth throughout the detailed description.
As used herein, a "pulmonary condition", "pulmonary disease", "lung condition", "lung disease", "respiratory condition" and "respiratory disease" are used interchangeably herein to refer to several disorders affecting the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. A pulmonary condition may be an acute or chrocic condition. A pulmonary condition may be, e.g., a respiratory/pulmonary/lung infection, respiratory/pulmonary/lung inflammation, respiratory/pulmonary/lung damage, injury or distress, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, bronchitis, pulmonary edema, asthma, lung cancer, pulmonary embolism or pulmonary hypertension.
A pulmonary condition may be caused by, e.g., an infection, inflammation, apoptosis, smoking, secondhand smoking, air pollution, exposure to dust, smoke or fumes, and/or genetic factors.
A respiratory infection or inflammation may be caused by, e.g., a pathogen, smoking, secondhand smoking, air pollution, exposure to dust, smoke or fumes and/or genetic factors.
As used herein, a "severe pulmonary condition" and a "serious pulmonary condition" are used interchangeably herein to refer to any clinically severe, critical or life-threatening pulmonary condition which may require immediate enhanced care, hospitalization or care in the intensive care unit. A severe pulmonary condition may be, e.g., pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism or lung cancer. The condition may or may not be acute or the condition may or may not be chronic.
As used herein, a "complication", "sequela", "symptom", "consequence", "outcome" and "adverse event" are used interchangeably herein to refer to any symptom caused by a pulmonary condition. The severity of the complications vary significantly from mild to severe, life-threatening, symptoms. A complication may be, e.g., cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chest pain, pain when breathing, pain in the airways, chest pressure or tightness, fever, chills, headache, tiredness, nasal congestion, runny nose, muscle and joint pain, rash, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of taste or smell, eye problems, mucus production, expectoration, wheezing, gastrointestinal symptoms, oxygen deficiency, pneumonia,
pulmonary fibrosis, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung cancer, damage of the internal organs (e.g. acute kidney injury), sepsis, additional viral or bacterial infection, multisystem inflammatory syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, acute or chronic cardiovascular damage (e.g. myocardial injury, myocarditis, arrhytmias, cardiomyopathy, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attacks or heart failure), seizure, clinical deterioration or death.
As used herein, a "serious complication", "serious sequela", "serious symptom", "serious consequence", "serious outcome", "serious adverse event", "severe complication", "severe sequela", "severe symptom", "severe consequence", "severe outcome" and "severe adverse event" are used interchangeably herein to refer to any clinically severe, critical or life-threatening symptom of a pulmonary condition. A serious complication may require immediate enhanced care or treatment, hospitalization or care in the intensive care unit. A serious complication may be, e.g. oxygen deficiency, pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung cancer, damage of the internal organs (e.g. acute kidney failure), sepsis, acute or chronic cardiovascular damage (e.g. myocardial injury, myocarditis, arrhytmias, cardiomyopathy, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attacks or heart failure), seizure, clinical deterioration or death.
People who have one or more underlying medical conditions may have a higher risk of a severe pulmonary condition and/or its serious complications. An underlying condition may be, e.g., diabetes, a cardiovascular disease (e.g. heart failure, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy or hypertension), severe obesity, kidney disease, liver disease, sickle cell disease, weakened immune system, lung disease or neurological condition.
As used herein, "thrombosis" refers to formation of a blood clot, a thrombus, within a blood vessel. The blood clot prevents blood from flowing normally through the circulatory system. Thrombosis may occur in veins (venous thrombosis) or in arteries (arterial thrombosis). Venous thrombosis leads to congestion of the affected part of the body, while arterial thrombosis affects the blood supply and leads to damage of the tissue supplied by that artery. A thrombus in the lungs, either formed in the lungs, or originating from another part of the body, may cause a severe pulmonary condition when blocking the blood flow in the lungs. "Pulmonary embolism" refers to a blood clot that has travelled to the lungs. Pulmonary embolism is a severe pulmonary condition that can block the blood flow to the lungs, causing serious damage to the lungs and affecting a subject's ability to breath. "Deep vein thrombosis" occurs when a blood clot forms in a major vein, e.g. in the leg. Pulmonary conditions that affect the efficiency of respiration may also affect the circulation and cause circulatory problems such as thrombosis.
A "treatment" and "therapy" are used interchangeably in the present disclosure and may comprise any therapeutic treatment typically given to a subject suffering from a pulmonary condition and/or needing immediate or intensive care. A treatment may be, e.g., hospitalization, intensive care, life support care, noninvasive or invasive medical care, monitoring and/or supporting bodily functions, administering a drug, administering supplemental oxygen (e.g. oxygen therapy, nasal high-flow oxygen therapy, noninvansive or invasive mechanical ventilation), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, a surgical procedure or lung transplantation.
A "drug", "pharmaceutical", "medicament", "medicine" and "medication" are used interchangeably in the present disclosure and may comprise any pharmaceutical typically given to a subject suffering from a pulmonary condition and/or its symptoms. A drug may be, e.g., an anti-inflammatory agent, antibiotic, antiviral drug, corticosteroid, analgesic, sedative, antithrombotic, anticoagulant or antiplatelet drug. A drug may be, e.g., a functional inhibitor of acid sphingomyelinase (FIASMA), molnupiravir, dexamethasone, a ceramide synthase or an inhibitor of a ceramide synthase.

EXAMPLES
Example 1. Materials and Methods
Description of study cohort and samples
Serum samples were obtained from 39 adult subjects who were suffering from COVID-19, 9 subjects suffered from a severe form of COVID-19 and 30 non-severe form of COVID-19.
Analytical Methods
Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry for ceramides and phospholipids
Ceramide and phospholipid quantification from serum samples was performed using a validated high- throughput mass spectrometry approach. 10 pL of serum or plasma was spiked with deuterated internal
standards, D7-Cer(dl8:l/16:0), D7-Cer(dl8:l/18:0), D7-Cer(dl8:l/24:0), D7-Cer(dl8:l/24:1), D9- PC((14:0/22:6), D9-PC(16:0/16:0) and D9-PC(16:0/22:5) and extracted in isopropanokethyl acetate (8:2, v/v) using a Hamilton MICROLAB® STAR robot. The levels of Cer(dl8:l/16:0), Cer(dl8:l/18:0), Cer(dl8:l/24:0), Cer(dl8:l/24:1), PC(14:0/22:6), PC(16:0/16:0) and PC(16:0/22:5) were quantified on a TripleMS 6500 (SCIEX, Concord, Canada) mass spectrometer equipped with an Sciex MPX UHPLC system.
Chromatographic separation was performed on Acquity BEH C18, 2.1 x 75 mm id. 1.7 pm column (Waters, Massachusetts, USA). Mobile phases consisted of (A) 10 mM ammonium acetate in LC-MS grade water with 0.1% formic acid, and (B) 10 mM ammonium acetate in acetonitrile: 2-propanol (3:4, V/V) with 0.1% formic acid (FA). The following LC gradient was used: 0.5 min at 80% B, linear increase of B from 80% to 84% in 0.5 min, 84% to 89% B in 1.4 min, 89% to 100% in O.lmin, 2.0 min at 100% B, 100% to 80% B in 0.1 min and 0.4 min equilibration at 80% prior to the next injection. Flow rate was 500 pl/min and column temperature 60°C.
The individual ceramides and phospholipids were quantified in MRM mode. Quantification was assessed through calibration line samples comprising of known amounts of synthetic Cer(dl8:l/16:0), Cer(d 18: 1/18:0), Cer(dl8:l/24:0), Cer(dl8:l/24:1), PC(14:0/22:6), PC(16:0/16:0) and PC(16:0/22:5) and corresponding deuterated standards. The peak area ratios of each ceramide to its corresponding deuterated form were calculated and plotted against the added ceramide concentration and fitted by linear regression analysis. Final ceramide concentrations were presented in pM.
Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry for other lipids
10 pl of sample was used for the extraction of the lipids using a modified Folch extraction. The analysis was performed on a hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer (QTRAP 5500, AB Sciex, Concords, Canada) equipped with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) (Nexera-X2, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). Chromatographic separation was performed on Acquity BEH C18, 2.1 x 50 mm id. 1.7 pm column (Waters, Massachusetts, USA). Mobile phases consisted of (A) 10 mM ammonium acetate in LC-MS grade water with 0.1% formic acid, and (B) 10 mM ammonium acetate in acetonitrile: 2- propanol (3:4, V/V) with 0.1% formic acid (FA). The following LC gradient was used: 0.3 min at 45% B, linear increase of B from 45% to 95% in 10 min, 95% to 100% B in 0.1 min, 2.5 min at 100% B, 100% to 45% B in 0.1 min and 1.5 min equilibration at 45% prior to the next injection. Flow rate was 600 pl/min and column temperature 60°C. For the MS analysis, a targeted approach in the positive ion mode was used. The data were collected using a scheduled multiple reaction monitoring (sMRM™) algorithm. The lipidomic data were processed using Analyst and MultiQuant 3.0 software (AB Sciex), and the area or
height ratios of the analyte and its corresponding IS peak were normalized with the IS amount and the sample volume.
Statistical analyses
All statistical analyses were performed using R software. The groups were compared with median differences and tested using Mann-Whitney U test.
Example 2. Results
Table 2 presents the predictive value of the pulmonary biomarkers. Median relative change and p-value are presented. Positive median relative change shows an increased concentration of a biomarker and negative a decreased concentration when a subject is suffering from or has a risk to develop a severe pulmonary condition.
Table 2. Pulmonary biomarkers, median relative change and p-value. Abbreviations are described in the detailed description of the present disclosure.
