Human cardiac stromal cells exposed to SARS-CoV-2 evolve into hyper-inflammatory/<i>pro</i>-fibrotic phenotype and produce infective viral particles depending on the levels of ACE2 receptor expression
2020-11-10
Abstract excerpt
Patients with severe respiratory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV-2 undergo cardiac complications due to hyper-inflammatory conditions. Although the presence of the virus has been detected in the myocardium of infected patients, and infection of cardiac cells may involve ACE2 receptor, the underlying molecular/cellular mechanisms are still uncharacterized. We analyzed expression of ACE2 receptor in primary human cardia...
