Spike and nsp6 are key determinants of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 attenuation

Da-Yuan Chen et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is highly immune evasive but less virulent compared to other major viral variants. It has a large number of mutations in the spike protein, which is the main driver of these traits. The virus bearing Omicron S can efficiently escape vaccine-induced immunity, replicate in cells, and cause less severe disease, but its pathogenicity is determined by mutations both in and outside of the spike protein.

Spike mutation D614G alters SARS-CoV-2 fitness

Jessica A. Plante et al.

Summary: The D614G substitution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enhances viral replication and infectivity in human lung epithelial cells, primary airway tissues, and hamsters. This variant may increase transmission in the upper respiratory tract and doesn't seem to significantly reduce vaccine efficacy. Further research on therapeutic antibodies targeting the circulating G614 virus is recommended.

Culture of SARS-CoV-2 in a panel of laboratory cell lines, permissivity, and differences in growth profile

Nathalie Wurtz et al.

Summary: The study tested 4 locally isolated strains of SARS-CoV-2 on 34 cell lines commonly used for isolating human pathogenic microorganisms, finding that 7 cell lines were able to support virus replication. Results indicate that there are differences in cytopathogenic effects and multiplication abilities in cells with different strains.

The Polybasic Cleavage Site in SARS-CoV-2 Spike Modulates Viral Sensitivity to Type I Interferon and IFITM2

Helena Winstone et al.

Summary: The presence of a polybasic cleavage site in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 allows the virus to enter cells in a pH-independent manner, mitigating against IFITM-mediated restriction and promoting replication and transmission. Targeted depletion of IFITM2 expression alleviates potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication by type I IFNs. Therapeutic strategies targeting furin-mediated cleavage of the spike protein may reduce viral replication through the activity of type I IFNs.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

Propagation of SARS-CoV-2 in Calu-3 Cells to Eliminate Mutations in the Furin Cleavage Site of Spike

John James Baczenas et al.

Summary: The study showed that propagating B.1.351 SARS-CoV-2 stock on Calu-3 cells can eliminate mutations accumulated in the furin cleavage site, while maintaining pathogenicity in animal models. However, caution should be taken to evaluate virus stocks for newly arising mutations during propagation.

Nicole L. Washington et al.

Summary: The highly transmissible B.1.1.7 variant of SARS-CoV-2, first identified in the United Kingdom, has been spreading in the United States with multiple introductions as early as late November 2020. The variant shows a logistic growth rate with roughly weekly doubling and increased transmission, requiring immediate action to minimize COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.

Novel SARS-CoV-2 variants: the pandemics within the pandemic

Erik Boehm et al.

Summary: Many new variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been identified as variants of concern/interest due to increased transmissibility, severity, immune escape, and reduced vaccine efficacy. These variants often share similar mutations, such as N501Y and E484K, which lead to partial immune escape, decreased vaccine efficacy, and potentially increased severity.

Summary: This study aims to identify suitable cancer cell lines for drug screening and virus research by screening ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes in cancer cell lines; however, limited correlation between receptor expression and cell permissiveness was found in experimental results; in terms of viral infection, cell permissiveness is not only influenced by the presence of entry receptors but also by factors such as cellular resources, intrinsic immunity, and apoptosis.
