The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 induces endothelial inflammation through integrin α5β1 and NF-κB

2021-08-02

Abstract excerpt

Vascular endothelial cells (EC) form a critical interface between blood and tissues that maintains whole-body homeostasis. In COVID-19, disruption of the EC barrier results in edema, vascular inflammation, and coagulation, the hallmarks of the severe disease. However, the mechanisms by which EC are dysregulated in COVID-19 are unclear. Here, we show that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 alone activates the EC infla...
