Expression of ACE2 in Human Neurons Supports the Neuro-Invasive Potential of COVID-19 Virus

Jiaxi Xu et al.

Summary: The recent outbreak of COVID-19 caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly worldwide. Similar to SARS-CoV, this new coronavirus utilizes ACE2 as an entry point to cells. Growing evidence suggests that COVID-19 patients, particularly those in severe condition, exhibit neurological symptoms, indicating the potential for SARS-CoV-2 to infect and damage neurons in the central nervous system. By studying human neurons derived from pluripotent stem cells, we have demonstrated the expression of ACE2 in human neurons. This highlights the importance of considering the neuro-invasive potential of SARS-CoV-2 as both a contributing factor and a therapeutic target for the severe respiratory symptoms in critical COVID-19 cases.

Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells

Cody B. Jackson et al.

Summary: The entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells is facilitated by the interaction between the viral spike protein and ACE2, leading to virus-cell membrane fusion, which has been extensively studied at the structural and cellular levels worldwide. This understanding has paved the way for the development of effective vaccines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the infection with SARS-CoV-2.

SARS-CoV-2 is associated with changes in brain structure in UK Biobank

Gwenaelle Douaud et al.

Summary: Through long-term observation of participants' MRI images, it was found that COVID-19 infection is associated with abnormal brain changes, including a reduction in gray matter thickness in the orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus, greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions functionally connected to the primary olfactory cortex, and a greater reduction in global brain size. Infected individuals also showed significant cognitive decline.

Summary: A study found that the cell entry of SARS-CoV-2 requires an acidic environment, even after the furin and TMPRSS2 cleavage. The stepwise dissociation of the S1 fragment, fusion, and content release can only be observed in TMPRSS2-overexpressing cells exposed to acidic pH.

Cheng Wang et al.

Summary: The study suggests a potential causal role of ApoE4 in the severity of COVID-19, as tested in human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) models for SARS-CoV-2 neurotropism. Increased infection rates of SARS-CoV-2 in ApoE4/4 neurons and astrocytes were observed, with changes in ApoE4 astrocytes upon infection. Remdesivir treatment was effective in inhibiting SARS-CoV2 infection in hiPSC neurons and astrocytes, highlighting the impact of risk factors on COVID-19 severity.

TMPRSS2 expression dictates the entry route used by SARS-CoV-2 to infect host cells

Jana Koch et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infects cells through two mutually exclusive pathways depending on the presence of TMPRSS2 protease. In the presence of TMPRSS2, the virus swiftly enters through the plasma membrane in a pH-independent manner; while in the absence of TMPRSS2, the virus is endocytosed and enters the cytosol post-infection.

Non-permissive SARS-CoV-2 infection in human neurospheres

Carolina da S. G. Pedrosa et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus can affect organs beyond the respiratory tract, including the brain, leading to neurological manifestations such as stroke and encephalitis. Research has shown that while SARS-CoV-2 infection in neural tissue is non-permissive, it can still trigger inflammatory responses and cell damage. This suggests that most neural damage caused by the virus is due to systemic inflammation rather than direct viral replication in the central nervous system.

Replication Kinetics, Cell Tropism, and Associated Immune Responses in SARS-CoV-2-and H5N1 Virus-Infected Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Neural Models

Lisa Bauer et al.

Summary: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is able to infect a minority of individual mature neurons in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) neural cultures, but the infection is abortive without virus spread. In contrast, highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus replicate and spread efficiently in all cell types. The study suggests that neurological complications may result from local immune responses triggered by virus invasion, rather than abundant SARS-CoV-2 replication in the CNS.
