PM <sub>2.5</sub> Exposure Facilitates SARS-CoV-2 Infection through ACE2/TMPRSS2 Regulation and Suppression of Anti-Viral Response

2025-10-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Epidemiological studies suggest an interaction between air pollution including particulate matter <2.5 µm (PM 2.5 ) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality and morbidity; however, the underlying mechanisms are not clear. The aim of our study was to investigate effects of PM 2.5 on viability, epithelial integrity, and cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 into airway epithelial cells, and th...
