Neuropathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 in human neuronal, microglial and glial cells.
Neurological complications, both acute and chronic, are reported commonly in COVID-19 affected individuals. In this context, the understanding of pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 in specific cells of central nervous system (CNS) origin is relevant. The present study explores infection biology of a clinical isolate of SARS-CoV-2 in human cell lines of neural origin such as the glioblastoma (U87-MG), neuroblastoma (SHSY5Y) and microglia (C20). Despite showing clear evidence of infection by immunofluorescence with an anti-spike protein antibody, all the three neural cell lines were observed to be highly restrictive to the replication of the infecting virus. While the U87-MG glioblastoma cells demonstrated no cytopathic effects and a low viral titre with no signs of replication, the SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cells exhibited cytopathic effects with bleb formation but no evidence of viable virus. The C20 microglial cells showed neither signs of cytopathic effects nor viable virus. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated intracellular virions in infected neural cells. The presence of lipid droplets in infected SHSY5Y cells suggested an impact on host cell metabolism. The decrease in viral RNA levels over time in all the neural cell lines suggested restricted viral replication. In conclusion, this study highlights the limited susceptibility of neural cells to SARS-CoV-2 infection. This reduced permissibility of neural cell lines to SARS-CoV-2 may point to their inherent lower expression of receptors that support viral entry in addition to the intracellular factors that potently inhibit viral replication. The study findings prompt further investigation into the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection of neural cells.
期刊介绍:
Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to
microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any
experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly
biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into
microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts.
Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published.
Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are
acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses
emerge.
