SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a Protein Impairs Syncytiotrophoblast Maturation, Alters ZO-1 Localization, and Shifts Autophagic Pathways in Trophoblast Cells and 3D Organoids

2024-09-25

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 infection poses a significant risk to placental physiology, but its impact on placental homeostasis is not well understood. We and others have previously shown that SARS-CoV-2 can colonize maternal and fetal placental cells, yet the specific mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we investigate ORF3a, a key accessory protein of SARS-CoV-2 that exhibits continuous mutations. Our findings reveal that O...
