SARS-CoV-2 spike protein expressing epithelial cells promotes senescence associated secretory phenotype in endothelial cells and increased inflammatory response
2021-04-16
Abstract excerpt
Increased mortality in COVID-19 often associates with thrombotic and microvascular complications. We have recently shown that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein promotes inflammatory cytokine IL-6/IL-6R induced trans-signaling responses which modulate MCP-1 expression in human endothelial cells. MCP-1 is secreted as a major component of the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Virus infected or Spike transfecte...
