Viral Spread within the Human Airway Epithelium (HAE)
Introduction
The spread of viral infections within tissues depends on several factors including the spatial distribution and turnover dynamics of target cells. In Raach et al. (2023), a Cellular Potts model was developed to investigate the influence of target cell heterogeneity within the human airway epithelium on SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics. The study aims to understand how different tissue compositions and regenerative turnover throughout the respiratory tree affect the progression of SARS-CoV-2 infections. The model incorporates cell-type specific infection kinetics, tissue regeneration, and accounts for both global and local spread of infections through cell-free and cell-associated viral transmission mechanisms.
Parameterization of the model is achieved by integrating published experimental data on differentiating primary human bronchial epithelial cells within air-liquid interface cultures through approximate Bayesian computation (de Borja Callejas et al., 2014, Schamberger et al., 2015). By simulating SARS-CoV-2 infections given various tissue compositions and regenerative capacities, the model provides insights into cell-type specific infection dynamics and the impact of tissue composition on disease progression and pathology.
Description
The human airway epithelium (HAE) cell culture system is represented by a 2D individual cell-based model within a radial lattice grid. The simulation initializes a total population of $\approx 4.7 \times 10^4$ cells, with each cell occupying a target area of 60 lattice sites. The model considers three different cell types: basal (B), secretory (S), and ciliated (C) cells, which constitute the epithelium with different relative contributions. To mimic the pseudostratified 3D-morphology of the upper respiratory epithelium, the volume strength of basal cells is set to $\frac{1}{10}$ of that of secretory or ciliated cells, allowing basal cells to be ‘overgrown’ by the other cell types, i.e., being potentially compressed to only one lattice site in fully differentiated tissue.
Cellular turnover and epithelial regeneration follows a linear differentiation process with continuous proliferation of basal cells at a density-dependent rate ($\alpha$), subsequent differentiation into secretory and ciliated cells ($\lambda_\mathrm{S}$, $\lambda_\mathrm{C}$) and cell loss according to cell-type specific death rates ($\delta_\mathrm{B}$, $\delta_\mathrm{S}$, $\delta_\mathrm{C}$) (see also Fig. 1). The processes of cell proliferation, differentiation, and cell death are incorporated into the Morpheus model by translating the model system shown in Fig. 1 into a probabilistic framework (see also Raach et al., 2023).
To incorporate viral infection, the model follows the standard model of viral dynamics: After infection of a cell, the cell progresses through an eclipse phase before it becomes infectious and starts to produce new virions. Each cell type can get infected through either cell-free or cell-associated transmission modes dependent on the viral concentration or the number of infectious cells in its neighborhood, respectively, as well as the cell-type specific transmission rates, $\beta_\mathrm{cf}$ and $\beta_\mathrm{cc}$ (see also Raach et al., 2023 for further details).
The model code M6296_human-airway-infection_model.xml
provided here simulates viral infection within bronchial epithelium given an initial cell type distribution of $39.7\ \text{%}$ (B), $13.4\ \text{%}$ (S), and $46.9\ \text{%}$ (C), at equilibrium before infection. A simulation time step represents $0.25$ hours in real time. Infection is initialized by adding a viral load of $2.6 \times 10^6$ RNA copies at $6.25$ hours ($= 25$ time steps) post simulation start, with the epithelium being at confluence. For all individual parameters, see also Raach et al., 2023.
Results
Vid. 1 and Fig. 2 show the results of re-running the model with the parametrizations and initial cell distributions as outlined in Raach et al., 2023 over a time period of $7$ days.
Results reproduce the findings reported by Raach et al. with ciliated cells showing the highest fraction of infected cells (Fig. 2B). Snapshots of the Cellular Potts model (Fig. 2D) indicate the effect of heterogeneous infection patterns on tissue integrity (see also Raach et al., 2023).
