T cell apoptosis characterizes severe Covid-19 disease

Sonia Andre et al.

Summary: By comparing COVID-19 patients with healthy donors, the study found a strong correlation between T cell apoptosis and lymphopenia in severe cases. The plasma levels of soluble FasL (sFasL) and T cell surface expression of Fas/CD95 were positively correlated with T cell death and CD4 T cell counts. The study also identified modulations in the Bcl-2 family and demonstrated the potential of a pan-caspase inhibitor, Q-VD, to prevent T cell apoptosis and enhance Th1 transcripts.

Type I interferons and SARS-CoV-2: from cells to organisms

Paul Bastard et al.

Summary: Type I interferons play a crucial role in antiviral activity. SARS-CoV-2 infection inhibits the production of interferons in human cells, but exogenous interferons can effectively inhibit viral growth. In animal experiments, deficiencies in interferons lead to more severe diseases, while early administration of interferons improves infection control. In humans, defects in interferons and antibodies against interferons are associated with the severity of COVID-19 pneumonia. Interferons are essential for host defense against SARS-CoV-2 in individual cells and whole organisms.

Role of toll-like receptors in modulation of cytokine storm signaling in SARS-CoV-2-induced COVID-19

Moumita Manik et al.

Summary: TLRs are crucial regulators of the immune system, helping to differentiate between self and nonself molecules. Imbalance can lead to over-transcription and translation of inflammatory genes, releasing inflammatory molecules and causing a cytokine storm, ultimately resulting in multiple organ failure and death.

Increased Peripheral Blood Neutrophil Activation Phenotypes and Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation in Critically Ill Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Patients: A Case Series and Review of the Literature

Jorge A. Masso-Silva et al.

Summary: Recent research indicates that COVID-19 patients exhibit increased neutrophil levels in both blood and lung tissue, with activated neutrophils correlating with disease severity. Neutrophils in COVID-19 patients show functional changes, including enhanced neutrophil extracellular trap formation, phagocytosis, and oxidative burst, suggesting a more aggressive antimicrobial and proinflammatory response.

A New Perspective of COVID-19 Infection: An Epigenetics Point of View

Ziya Ozturkler et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 outbreak originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019. ACE2 receptor and transmembrane protease serine 2 variations are crucial in virus entry, while epigenetic modifications of ACE2 play a role in virus infection. ACE2 methylation changes depending on host and host age during viral infection, indicating the importance of epigenetic modifications in viral replication and COVID-19 susceptibility.

A blood atlas of COVID-19 defines hallmarks of disease severity and specificity

David J. Ahern et al.

Summary: The study presents a comprehensive blood atlas for patients with varying severity of COVID-19, compared to influenza, sepsis patients, and healthy volunteers. The results identify immune signatures and correlates of host response, including cells, inflammatory mediators, immune repertoire, and metabolic and coagulation features. The study also reveals that persistent immune activation is a specific feature of COVID-19. Plasma proteomic analysis enables sub-phenotyping and prediction of severity and outcome. Integrative analyses show feature groupings linked with severity and specificity compared to influenza and sepsis.

Epigenetic mechanisms regulating COVID-19 infection

Sarantis Chlamydas et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 outbreak originating in Wuhan, China poses a significant global threat to human health. The highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission, along with age-related factors and epigenetic changes, play key roles in the pathophysiology of the virus. Epigenetic research has shown that factors such as global DNA methylation and host cell epigenetic modulation following infection may influence host susceptibility to viral infection.

COVID-19 and Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4): SARS-CoV-2 May Bind and Activate TLR4 to Increase ACE2 Expression, Facilitating Entry and Causing Hyperinflammation

Mohamed M. Aboudounya et al.

Summary: Mortality in COVID-19 is caused by respiratory failure, heart failure, and sepsis/multiorgan failure. TLR4, an innate immune receptor, recognizes viral proteins and triggers immune responses. SARS-CoV-2 binds to TLR4, potentially leading to inflammation and multi-organ injury.

Summary: This review focuses on the Coronavirus proteins, particularly membrane proteins, and their functions in pathogenesis within the Coronaviridae family. Despite variations in structure and function, shared proteins among different coronaviruses are found to be multifunctional. The roles of these transmembrane proteins in the infection cycle, host membrane arrangements, cellular growth, cell death, and immune responses are discussed.

Lymphopenia and lung complications in patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19): A retrospective study based on clinical data

Ehsan Zaboli et al.

Summary: This study found a possible association between low lymphocyte percentage and CT scan lung involvement with COVID-19 patient mortality. Severe lung involvement and lymphopenia were significantly associated with increased odds of death, indicating a multiplicative effect on the risk of mortality. Patients with lymphocyte count less than 20% and chest CT scan findings with more than 50% involvement had a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate and prolonged hospital stay.
