The Lipolysis-Stimulated Lipoprotein Receptor Contributes to Direct and Antibody-Enhanced SARS-CoV-2 Pathogenicity
2023-07-21
Abstract excerpt
Severe COVID-19 damages alveolar lung cells that lack the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) but express the lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR). Here we show that LSR enabled SARS-CoV-2 to produce infectious progenies and cause cell death. LSR-mediated cytolysis resulted from cathepsin L cleavage of the spike protein and occurred when the viral load reached a critical threshold. Monoclonal antibod...
