COVID-19 through Adverse Outcome Pathways: building networks to better understand the disease – Report of the 3rd CIAO AOP Design Workshop

cover
On 28-29 April 2021, 50 scientists from different fields of expertise met for the 3rd online CIAO Workshop. The CIAO project “Modelling the Pathogenesis of COVID-19 using the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework” aims at building a holistic assembly of the available scientific knowledge on COVID-19 using the AOP framework. An individual AOP depicts the disease progression from the initial contact with the SARS-CoV-2 virus through biological Key Events (KE) toward an adverse outcome, such as respiratory distress, anosmia or multiorgan failure. Assembling the individual AOPs into a network, highlights shared KEs as central biological nodes involved in multiple outcomes observed in COVID-19 patients. During the workshop, the KEs and AOPs established so far by the CIAO members were presented and positioned on a timeline of the disease course. Modulating factors influencing the progression and severity of the disease were also addressed, as well as factors beyond purely biological phenomena. CIAO relies on an interdisciplinary crowdsourcing effort, therefore approaches to expand the CIAO network by widening the crowd and reaching stakeholders were also discussed. To conclude the workshop, it was decided that the AOPs/KEs will be further consolidated integrating viral variants and long COVID when relevant, while an outreach campaign will be launched to broaden the CIAO scientific crowd.
