Molecular Phenotypes of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the ROSE Trial Have Differential Outcomes and Gene Expression Patterns That Differ at Baseline and Longitudinally over Time

Am J Respir Crit Care MedPublished Secondary analysis of the ROSE randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

The hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory phenotypes have different clinical, protein, and dynamic transcriptional characteristics.

Study context

Population
Moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the ROSE trial of cisatracuriumRNA-sequenced subset n = 134
Comparison
Hyperinflammatory vs hypoinflammatory ARDS phenotype
Primary endpoint
Molecular phenotypes by latent class analysis and their outcomes (mortality)
Follow-up
Day 90
Methodological detailslatent class analysis, whole-blood RNA sequencing subset
  • Latent class analysis
  • Whole-blood RNA sequencing subset

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Phenotype prevalence and Day 90 mortality

Phenotype prevalence and Day 90 mortality

Prevalence

  • Hyperinflammatory vs Hypoinflammatory: P < 0.0001 — higher mortality in hyperinflammatory phenotype

Further findings

Treatment interaction (phenotype × randomised group) for mortality

No treatment interaction between phenotypes and randomised groups for mortality

Gene expression (whole-blood RNA) · Day 0 and Day 2

Hyperinflammatory enriched for innate immune response, tissue remodelling and zinc metabolism genes at Day 0, collagen synthesis and neutrophil degranulation at Day 2
Longitudinal gene expression changes differed by survivorship
Most highly expressed genes correlated with plasma protein abundance; class-defining plasma proteins did not correlate with their genes' expression
