SARS-CoV-2 Spike triggers barrier dysfunction and vascular leak via integrins and TGF-β signaling
9 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
Severe COVID-19 is associated with epithelial and endothelial barrier dysfunction within the lung as well as in distal organs. While it is appreciated that an exaggerated inflammatory response is associated with barrier dysfunction, the triggers of vascular leak are unclear. Here, we report that cell-intrinsic interactions between the Spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 and epithelial/endothelial cells are...
