0-41 |
Sentence |
denotes |
7.2 SARS-CoV-2 and soluble ACE2 receptor |
T483 |
42-152 |
Sentence |
denotes |
ACE2 is required for the degradation of Ang II to Ang (1–7), reducing the blood pressure through vasodilation. |
T484 |
153-334 |
Sentence |
denotes |
ACE2 exists as both membranous forms, which are found to be anchored to the plasma membrane and the soluble form, circulating in the bloodstream but at a lower proportion [151,152]. |
T485 |
335-481 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Besides serving as an entry point for SARS-CoV-2, the higher levels of ACE2 are required by the hypertension patient to reduce the blood pressure. |
T486 |
482-574 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Therefore, the ACE2 levels need to be maintained besides inhibiting the entry of SARS-CoV-2. |
T487 |
575-920 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Thus, the usage of human recombinant soluble ACE2 (hrsACE2) which exhibited positive results in the phase I and phased II clinical trials to elevate the soluble form of ACE2that competes with the membranous ACE2 for binding with SARS-CoV-2 and inhibits the viral entry and replication can be considered as a therapeutic option to treat COVID-19. |
T488 |
921-1039 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Besides inhibiting the viral entry, it also sustains the ACE2 levels required for the degradation of Ang II [153,154]. |
T489 |
1040-1107 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Currently, hrsACE2 has been approved as a treatment option of ARDS. |
T490 |
1108-1213 |
Sentence |
denotes |
African green monkey kidney derived cell line; namely, Vero E6 was cultured and infected with SARS-CoV-2. |
T491 |
1214-1312 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Then the infected culture was added with hrsACE2 to estimate the therapeutic potential of hrsACE2. |
T492 |
1313-1462 |
Sentence |
denotes |
15 h post-infection, the viral replication was found to be inhibited in a dose-dependent manner with reference to the concentration of hrsACE2 added. |
T493 |
1463-1693 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The addition of hrsACE2 to the embryonic stem cells derived kidney organoids comprised of proximal tubular cells and podocytes clusters infected with SARS-CoV-2 had shown to reduce the viral replication in a dose-dependent manner. |
T494 |
1694-1821 |
Sentence |
denotes |
No studies support the in-vivo and the therapeutic roles of hrsACE2 on the pulmonary cells upon SARS-CoV-2 infection [153,155]. |
T495 |
1822-1988 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Therefore, the usage of hrsACE2 can be a potential therapeutic option to inhibit the viral infection besides preserving the ACE2 levels and blood pressure in control. |
