The Omicron variant is highly resistant against antibody-mediated neutralization: Implications for control of the COVID-19 pandemic

Markus Hoffmann et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is spreading rapidly and shows resistance to most therapeutic antibodies. It also evades neutralization by antibodies induced by infection or vaccination more efficiently than the Delta variant. This suggests that therapeutic antibodies may not be effective against the Omicron variant, and double vaccination with BNT162b2 may not provide adequate protection against severe disease caused by this variant.

Differential effects of macrophage subtypes on SARS-CoV-2 infection in a human pluripotent stem cell-derived model

Qizhou Lian et al.

Summary: This study uses a lung and macrophage co-culture system derived from human pluripotent stem cells to investigate the phenotype and gene expression changes in host lung cells and macrophages after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The researchers found differential immune response patterns in distinct macrophage phenotypes, which could contribute to the severity of COVID-19 disease.

Monocytes and Macrophages, Targets of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2: The Clue for Coronavirus Disease 2019 Immunoparalysis

Asma Boumaza et al.

Summary: The study found that monocytes and macrophages from COVID-19 patients can be infected by SARS-CoV-2, leading to secretion of immunoregulatory cytokines and induction of a specific transcriptional program in macrophages. Single-cell analysis in COVID-19 patients revealed lower monocyte counts affecting all subsets, decreased expression of HLA-DR, and increased expression of CD163, regardless of disease severity.

Yuichiro J. Suzuki et al.

Summary: This article highlights the potential impact of the spike protein from COVID-19 vaccines on human host cells and emphasizes the need for careful monitoring of the long-term consequences. Further research on the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on human cells and appropriate animal models is recommended.

Evidence of escape of SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.351 from natural and vaccine-induced sera

Daming Zhou et al.

Summary: The race to develop vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1, is ongoing as these variants have mutations in the spike protein, potentially leading to immune escape. A structure-function analysis of B.1.351 revealed tighter ACE2 binding and widespread evasion from monoclonal antibody neutralization, particularly driven by the E484K mutation.

Nikolaos C. Kyriakidis et al.

Summary: The new SARS-CoV-2 virus is rapidly spreading worldwide, causing the COVID-19 pandemic with more than 1.866 million deaths. Over 64 vaccine candidates are being developed globally, aiming to induce antibodies to prevent viral entry. Thirteen vaccine candidates are currently in Phase 3 clinical trials, showing promising progress towards approval for large-scale immunizations.

SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Spike Protein-Induced Apoptosis, Inflammatory, and Oxidative Stress Responses in THP-1-Like-Macrophages: Potential Role of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (Perindopril)

Tlili Barhoumi et al.

Summary: The study found that the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 can induce apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses in macrophages and endothelial cells, which can be mitigated by the ACE inhibitor perindopril. Additionally, the S protein can affect the mitogenic responses and proteomic regulation of PBMCs. These findings suggest that the S protein may activate blood and vascular components circulating in the body, with potential involvement of the local renin-angiotensin system in this process.

Summary: The study found a prevalence of 30.3% for long COVID symptoms among COVID-19 patients, with some initially asymptomatic patients developing long-term symptoms. Additionally, a significantly higher rate of EBV reactivation was observed in long COVID subjects compared to control subjects, suggesting a potential association between COVID-19 inflammation and EBV reactivation.

Summary: This study revealed the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on HSCs/HPCs and immune cells, showing that exposure to the S protein alone can impact these cells negatively, even if they are not infected by the virus. Understanding these effects is crucial for the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and for hematopoietic cell transplantation.
