Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infects and Damages the Mature and Immature Olfactory Sensory Neurons of Hamsters

Anna Jinxia Zhang et al.

Summary: COVID-19 primarily affects the respiratory tract but can also lead to olfactory dysfunction, particularly in young patients. In a study using Syrian hamsters, it was found that SARS-CoV-2 infection could impact mature and immature olfactory neurons and supporting cells, potentially contributing to the olfactory dysfunction seen in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: This study conducted postmortem core needle biopsies on lung, heart, and liver from deceased patients with coronavirus disease 2019, revealing diffuse alveolar damage as the main pathological finding in the lungs. Myocarditis was not observed in heart biopsies, and liver tissue sections mostly showed nonspecific findings, with some cases exhibiting signs of liver ischemia.

SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Induces Degradation of Junctional Proteins That Maintain Endothelial Barrier Integrity

Somasundaram Raghavan et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 enters cells through the ACE2 receptor, potentially causing cardiovascular and endothelial damage in COVID-19 patients. Experimental results show that the Spike protein leads to degradation of endothelial junctional proteins, affecting endothelial barrier function, and may be the cause of vascular damage in COVID-19 patients.

Article Visualizing in deceased COVID-19 patients how SARS-CoV-2 attacks the respiratory and olfactory mucosae but spares the olfactory bulb

Mona Khan et al.

Summary: Anosmia, the loss of smell, is a common symptom of COVID-19, but it is caused by the virus attacking sustentacular cells in the olfactory mucosa rather than infecting olfactory sensory neurons. This suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is not a neurotropic virus.

Neuroinvasion of SARS-CoV-2 in human and mouse brain

Eric Song et al.

Summary: The study showed through three approaches that SARS-CoV-2 is capable of infecting brain neurons, leading to metabolic changes and pathological features without triggering type I interferon responses. These results provide evidence for the neuroinvasive capacity of SARS-CoV-2 and the unexpected consequence of direct infection of neurons by the virus.

The S1 protein of SARS-CoV-2 crosses the blood-brain barrier in mice

Elizabeth M. Rhea et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the SARS-CoV-2 spike 1 protein can cross the mouse blood-brain barrier and be taken up by both the brain and peripheral tissues. Intravenous injection results in higher levels of protein uptake in the brain compared to intranasal administration. Genetic factors and sex have varying effects on the uptake of the spike protein in different tissues.

The Spatial and Cell-Type Distribution of SARS-CoV-2 Receptor ACE2 in the Human and Mouse Brains

Rongrong Chen et al.

Summary: The distribution of ACE2 in human and mouse brains differs, which may play a crucial role in central nervous system symptoms in COVID-19 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Potential species differences should be taken into consideration when using mouse models to study the neurological effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Regeneration Profiles of Olfactory Epithelium after SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Golden Syrian Hamsters

Shinji Urata et al.

Summary: Olfactory dysfunction is a common symptom of COVID-19, but the damage and repair of the neuroepithelium after SARS-CoV-2 infection is still incomplete. In a study using golden Syrian hamsters, severe damage was observed in the olfactory epithelium post-inoculation, with the nasal septal region showing faster recovery. This suggests that anosmia related to SARS-CoV-2 infection may be fully reversible.

Christoph Muus et al.

Summary: Our study reveals that cell-type-specific expression patterns of ACE2, TMPRSS2, and CTSL are associated with the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Factors such as age, sex, and smoking status are linked to the expression of viral entry genes in respiratory cell populations, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for intervention. The integrated analysis of single-cell and single-nucleus transcriptomics studies highlights coexpression patterns of SARS-CoV-2 viral entry genes across different human tissues.

Modulation of olfactory signal detection in the olfactory epithelium: focus on the internal and external environment, and the emerging role of the immune system

Bertrand Bryche et al.

Summary: The olfactory system is crucial for animal survival as it detects and discriminates odorants in an ever-changing environment. Internal signals such as hormones and neurotransmitters directly affect the activity of olfactory neurons, while the olfactory epithelium interacts with the immune system leading to neuroimmune modulations. Olfactory neurons are exposed to environmental toxicants and pathogens, highlighting the importance of immune cells in the functioning of the olfactory epithelium.

Zebrafish as a translational model: an experimental alternative to study the mechanisms involved in anosmia and possible neurodegenerative aspects of COVID-19?

Karla C. M. Costal et al.

Summary: COVID-19 presents a range of clinical symptoms, including neurological manifestations that may persist longer than respiratory symptoms. The entry of SARS-CoV-2 into the brain, affected brain regions, and long-lasting effects are still poorly understood. The zebrafish model shows promise in investigating the neurological features of COVID-19 due to its genetic and physiological similarities with mammals.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Experimental studies in animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have revealed severe lung and brain damage, as well as early onset anosmia in mice. Excitingly, infusion of convalescent plasma from recovered patients has shown to protect against lethal disease, though it does not prevent anosmia.
