SARS-CoV-2, Hypoxia, and Calcium Signaling: The Consequences and Therapeutic Options

Abstract:
Currently, COVID-19 has created difficulties in understanding the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic options for treatment. COVID-19 patients have shown to be hypoxic, and hypoxia causes alteration of the cell calcium dynamics, which leads to alterations in many signal transduction pathways and gene expression. Also, both viruses and hypoxia directly alter many pathological and biochemical pathways, such as inflammation, cytokine signaling, glycolysis, and calcium signaling. Therefore, understanding of these cellular events would be useful in finding therapeutic options.

Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
