    • The high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and reinfection and the occurrence of post-acute pulmonary sequelae have highlighted the importance of understanding the mechanism underlying lung repair after injury. To address this concern, comparative and systematic analyses of SARS-CoV-2 infection in COVID-19 patients and animals were conducted. In the lungs of nine patients who died of COVID-19 and one recovered from COVID-19 but died of unrelated disease in early 2020, damage-related transient progenitor (DATP) cells expressing CK8 marker proliferated significantly. These CK8+ DATP cells were derived from bronchial CK5+ basal cells. However, they showed different cell fate toward differentiation into type I alveolar cells in the deceased and convalescent patients, respectively. By using a self-limiting hamster infection model mimicking the dynamic process of lung injury remodeling in mild COVID-19 patients, the accumulation and regression of CK8+ cell marker were found to be closely associated with the disease course. Finally, we examined the autopsied lungs of two patients who died of infection by the recent Omicron variant and found that they only exhibited mild pathological injury with no CK8+ cell proliferation. These results indicate a clear pulmonary cell remodeling route and suggest that CK8+ DATP cells play a primary role in mediating alveolar remodeling, highlighting their potential applications as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.

      Abstract: The high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and reinfection and the occurrence of post-acute pulmonary sequelae have highlighted the importance of understanding the mechanism underlying lung repair after injury. To address this concern, comparative and systematic analyses of SARS-CoV-2 infection in COVID-19 patients and animals were conducted. In the lungs of nine patients who died of COVID-19 and one recovered from COVID-19 but died of unrelated disease in early 2020, damage-related transient progenitor (DATP) cells expressing CK8 marker proliferated significantly. These CK8+ DATP cells were derived from bronchial CK5+ basal cells. However, they showed different cell fate toward differentiation into type I alveolar cells in the deceased and convalescent patients, respectively. By using a self-limiting hamster infection model mimicking the dynamic process of lung injury remodeling in mild COVID-19 patients, the accumulation and regression of CK8+ cell marker were found to be closely associated with the disease course. Finally, we examined the autopsied lungs of two patients who died of infection by the recent Omicron variant and found that they only exhibited mild pathological injury with no CK8+ cell proliferation. These results indicate a clear pulmonary cell remodeling route and suggest that CK8+ DATP cells play a primary role in mediating alveolar remodeling, highlighting their potential applications as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets.
