Inflammation in the COVID-19 airway is due to inhibition of CFTR signaling by the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein
2022-01-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> SARS-CoV-2-contributes to sickness and death in COVID-19 patients partly by inducing a hyper-proinflammatory immune response in the host airway. This hyper- proinflammatory state involves activation of signaling by NFκB and ENaC, and expression of high levels of cytokines and chemokines. Post-infection inflammation may contribute to “Long COVID”, and there are long term consequences for acute...
