The SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 disease) uses Spike proteins of its envelope infecting target cells expressing on membrane angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) that acts as a receptor. To control pandemic, genetically engineered vaccines have been designed inducing neutralizing antibodies against proteins. These do not act like traditional protein-based vaccines, they deliver message in form mRNA or DNA to host then produce and expose protein (from which it can be shed soluble form) alert immune system. Mass vaccination has brought light various adverse effects associated with these based mainly affecting circulatory cardiovascular ACE2 is present membrane-bound several cell types, including mucosa upper gastrointestinal tracts, endothelium, platelets, plasma. converts vasoconstrictor II into peptides vasodilator properties. Here we review pathways immunization molecular mechanisms through protein, either from encoded by mRNA-based interferes Renin-Angiotensin-System governed ACE2, thus altering homeostasis circulation Understanding interactions consequent impact system will direct diagnosis therapy vaccine-related provide information development personalized considers pathophysiological conditions predisposing such events.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the third human to cause distress (ARDS) and contains four structural proteins: spike, envelope, membrane, nucleocapsid. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that all proteins SARS-CoV-2 are capable causing lung injury, even without presence intact virus. Therefore, topic protein-evoked injury warrants more attention. In current article, we first synopsize features proteins. Second, discuss mechanisms for protein-induced inflammatory responses in vitro . Finally, list findings indicate themselves toxic sufficient induce vivo Recognizing triggered by may facilitate development targeted modalities treating COVID-19.

In this study, we investigated whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein may modify angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) activity in the plasma, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and six brain regions (amygdala, stem, cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, striatum) of diabetic hypertensive rats. We determine ACE2 plasma lysates regions. MLN-4760 inhibits all organs. On other hand, soluble (sACE2) increased rats, there was no change augmented striatum, while it decreased amygdala, hippocampus hypothalamus measured content via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay found that levels striatum Our data showed enhanced liver lungs as well heart three (cortex,

Abstract While under physiological conditions angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an antagonist of vasoconstrictive agents in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS), context SARS coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2) ACE2 serves as gateway into cells. Furthermore, RAAS has previously been shown to be influenced by exercise training and suggested involved skeletal muscle mass maintenance. Given this connection, investigation circulating plasma protein concentration before following acute chronic endurance resistance could increase understanding implications exposure athletes SARS‐CoV‐2. Therefore, study investigated levels lifelong high‐level trained control subjects response either or exercise. Results show no baseline differences absolute between groups, but a strong negative correlation with fitness positive BMI subjects. significantly increased across all only strength group This indicates that are health, stronger effect on than
