Expression Profile of SARS-CoV-2 Host Receptors in Human Pancreatic Islets Revealed Upregulation of ACE2 in Diabetic Donors
(2020)
Abstract:
Cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 is thought to occur through the binding of viral spike S1 protein to ACE2. The entry process involves priming of the S protein by TMPRSS2 and ADAM17, which collectively mediate the ...
Effect of common medications on the expression of SARS‑CoV‑2 entry receptors in liver tissue
(2020)
Abstract:
Besides lung drastic involvement, SARS-CoV-2 severely affected other systems including liver. Emerging epidemiological studies brought the attentions towards liver injury and impairment as a potential outcome ...
Cardiovascular medications and regulation of COVID-19 receptors expression
(2020)
Introduction:
Emerging epidemiological studies suggested that Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors may increase infectivity and severity of COVID-19 by modulating the expression of ACE2.
Methods: ...
Regulation of Angiotensin- Converting Enzyme 2 in Obesity: Implications for COVID-19
(2020)
Abstract:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Age, smoking, obesity, and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes have been described as risk factors for severe ...
Cell free ACE2 RNA: A potential biomarker of COVID-19 severity
(2023)
Abstract:
Despite the downward trend of COVID-19 pandemic and increased immunity of the general population, COVID19 is still an elusive disease with risks due to emerging variants. Fast and reliable diagnosis of COVID-19 ...
