Matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in murine coronavirus-induced neuroinflammation
2020-09-18
Abstract excerpt
Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) belongs to the same beta-coronavirus family as SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV. Studies have shown the requirement of host cellular proteases for priming the surface spike protein during viral entry and transmission in coronaviruses. The metzincin family of metal-dependent endopeptidases called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is involved in virus encephalitis, enhanced blood-brain b...
