概括
这项研究调查了SARS-CoV-2的胎盘进入途径,发现NRP-1和Clathrin表达减少,并在COVID-19胎盘中增加了Cathepsin L. 这些变化表明,除了正规的ACE2/TMPRSS2通路之外,还有其他病毒进入机制.
科学领域:
- 病毒学 病毒学
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 产科 产科 产科 产科 产科
背景情况:
- SARS-CoV-2 胎盘检测引发了人们对病毒进入机制的担忧.
- 正规的ACE2/TMPRSS2通路可能不是胎盘感染的唯一途径.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估SARS-CoV-2胎盘进入分子 (ADAM17,Cathepsin L,Clathrin,ACE-2,Furin,NRP-1,TMPRSS2) 的免疫组织化学表达.
- 用RT-qPCR检测胎盘组织中的病毒RNA.
- 为了调查潜在的替代SARS-CoV-2胎盘进入途径.
主要方法:
- 免疫组织化学用于分析75个COVID-19和19控制胎盘样本中的蛋白质表达.
- 通过RT-qPCR检测到帕拉芬嵌入的胎盘组织中的SARS-CoV-2RNA.
- 统计分析比较了COVID-19和对照组之间的表达模式.
主要成果:
- 在COVID-19组 (p < 0.001) 的决定体中观察到显著减少的NRP-1表达,包括RT-qPCR阳性样本 (p = 0.001).
- 在COVID-19组的体样本 (p = 0.05) 和RT-qPCR阳性样本 (p = 0.013) 中,clathrin表达显著降低.
- 在COVID-19组的胎盘里 (p < 0.001) 和RT-qPCR阳性样本 (p = 0.005) 中,甲素L表达显著增加.
结论:
- 研究结果表明,SARS-CoV-2可能利用辅助和/或内细胞通道进入胎盘.
- 改变NRP-1,Clathrin和Cathepsin L的表达可能在SARS-CoV-2的胎盘相互作用中发挥作用.
- 需要进一步的研究,以了解这些胎盘变化的影响在母体SARS-CoV-2感染.

Infection

When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Viral Recombination

Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.
