Early Treatment of High-Risk Hospitalized Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Patients With a Combination of Interferon Beta-1b and Remdesivir: A Phase 2 Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial

Anthony Raymond Tam et al.

Summary: Combined treatment with interferon beta-1b and remdesivir is more effective than remdesivir alone in the treatment of COVID-19, providing relief for symptoms, reducing viral shedding and hospitalization time, and inducing earlier antibody response in high-risk patients.

Purinergic signaling elements are correlated with coagulation players in peripheral blood and leukocyte samples from COVID-19 patients

Iago C. Schultz et al.

Summary: This study analyzed gene expression and proteomics data from COVID-19 patients using public datasets, comparing them with healthy individuals or non-COVID-19 patients. The study found that the purinergic signaling pathway is modulated in COVID-19 patients, and specific molecules in the blood are correlated with coagulation processes and clinical features. The results suggest that targeting these biomolecules may help attenuate inflammation and coagulopathy in COVID-19 patients.

High levels of extracellular ATP lead to different inflammatory responses in COVID-19 patients according to the severity

Gilnei Bruno da Silva et al.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in purinergic signaling and immune response in COVID-19 patients. The results showed altered purinergic signaling in both moderate and severe cases, including increased ATP hydrolysis in platelets and PBMCs, as well as significantly elevated ADP and AMP hydrolysis. The study also observed increased expression of CD39 and CD73 in total leukocytes, along with higher extracellular ATP levels in both groups. Additionally, moderate and severe cases exhibited elevated levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17. These findings provide valuable insights into the changes in purinergic signaling and immune response in COVID-19, highlighting the therapeutic potential of the purinergic system as a target for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 disease.

Adenosine-Metabolizing Enzymes, Adenosine Kinase and Adenosine Deaminase, in Cancer

Galina Zhulai et al.

Summary: This review discusses two enzymes, ADK and ADA, that are involved in the reduction of adenosine levels. ADK eliminates adenosine by phosphorylation, while ADA regulates adenosine levels by converting it to inosine. These enzymes play important roles in cancer development and may serve as potential therapeutic targets.

Alterations in CD39/CD73 axis of T cells associated with COVID-19 severity

Gilson P. Dorneles et al.

Summary: This study investigates alterations in purinergic pathways in COVID-19 patients and provides new insights into the immunopathology of the disease. The findings suggest that the purinergic signaling is dysregulated in both mild and severe COVID-19 patients, which may affect immune function. Additionally, increased T-cell apoptosis and decreased purine levels are observed in COVID-19 patients compared to healthy controls.

Recessive inborn errors of type I IFN immunity in children with COVID-19 pneumonia

Qian Zhang et al.

Summary: In an international cohort of 112 hospitalized children with COVID-19 pneumonia, 12 children with recessive inborn errors of type I interferon immunity were identified. These deficiencies may contribute to the development of COVID-19 pneumonia in children. Additionally, these deficiencies were not found in individuals without pneumonia from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

B cell analysis in SARS-CoV-2 versus malaria: Increased frequencies of plasmablasts and atypical memory B cells in COVID-19

Nils H. Wildner et al.

Summary: This study utilized 16-color flow cytometry analysis to investigate peripheral B cells in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection or acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The results showed an increase in atypical memory B cells and plasmablasts in these patients, along with changes in specific protein expression on the plasmablasts. These changes were positively correlated with inflammatory markers in COVID-19 patients.

SARS-CoV-2 suppresses IFNβ production mediated by NSP1, 5, 6, 15, ORF6 and ORF7b but does not suppress the effects of added interferon

Maya Shemesh et al.

Summary: Type I interferons play a crucial role in combating viral infections, yet SARS-CoV-2 virus has evolved to disrupt immune defenses by blocking IFN beta production through six genes. Despite reducing pSTAT1 levels, the virus still activates antiviral programs and remains sensitive to added interferon, presenting a therapeutic opportunity.

Silvana Morello et al.

Summary: There is a growing body of evidence supporting the link between inflammation and thrombosis. Platelets play a crucial role in both physiological hemostasis and inflammatory/thrombotic events, with NTPDase1/CD39 emerging as an important molecule in controlling both processes and maintaining the antithrombotic properties of endothelium.
