GABA and GABAergic dysfunction in COVID-19: Piecing the puzzle with targeting immunity and several inflammatory pathways
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic disease caused by a new type of respiratory virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The primary factors contributing to inflammatory and immunological diseases in patients with severe COVID-19 are primarily attributed to the excessive activation of T cells and macrophages, resulting in the massive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukins and chemokines. Studies have indicated that the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) possesses anti-inflammatory properties in mitigating certain inflammatory disorders. It has been shown that inflammation and oxidative stress caused by COVID-19 infection may lead to a disruption of GABAergic neurotransmission in COVID-19 patients. GABA and GABA agonists could be potential successful treatments for the management of COVID-19 by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory pathways such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and the nod-like receptor pyrin 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to discuss the potential role of GABA and GABA agonists in the alleviation of inflammatory disorders caused by COVID-19.
期刊介绍:
The journal Cytokine has an open access mirror journal Cytokine: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
* Devoted exclusively to the study of the molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, genome-wide association studies, pathobiology, diagnostic and clinical applications of all known interleukins, hematopoietic factors, growth factors, cytotoxins, interferons, new cytokines, and chemokines, Cytokine provides comprehensive coverage of cytokines and their mechanisms of actions, 12 times a year by publishing original high quality refereed scientific papers from prominent investigators in both the academic and industrial sectors.
We will publish 3 major types of manuscripts:
1) Original manuscripts describing research results.
2) Basic and clinical reviews describing cytokine actions and regulation.
3) Short commentaries/perspectives on recently published aspects of cytokines, pathogenesis and clinical results.
