T273 |
61-243 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Notwithstanding the current wave of intensive worldwide research, the ethiopathology of the diseases induced by the SARS-CoV-2 infection is the central question that remains obscure. |
T274 |
244-433 |
Sentence |
denotes |
One likely explanation is that the heterogeneity and multitude of the disorders induced by the current pandemic derive from molecular mimicry phenomena between the virus and human proteins. |
T275 |
434-681 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The scientific rationale is that, following the infection, the immune responses raised against SARS-CoV-2 may cross-react with human proteins that share peptide sequences with the virus, in this way leading to autoimmune pathologic sequelae [120]. |
T276 |
682-901 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Actually, a recent report [121] militates in this direction and likely explains lungs and airways dysfunctions through the sharing of peptides between SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein and alveolar lung surfactant proteins [121]. |
T277 |
902-1249 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Moreover, in the clinical context exposed above, it is of note to report that Sars.CoV-2 shares 6 minimal immune determinants (KTVLK, TPEEH, RETMS, PFVVS, GLEAP, ICLLQ) with the Kawasaki antigen Inositol-trisphosphate 3-kinase C [122], thus highlighting as likely cross-reactions and consequent autoimmune Kawasaki disease in predisposed subjects. |
T278 |

Sentence |
denotes |
Even more impressing it appears the heptapeptide sharing between the human proteome and the viral spike glycoprotein shown in Table 1 . |

T280 |
1435-1595 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Indeed, the list of proteins reported in the table – when altered – configurate almost all the diseases that have been described in association with SARS-CoV-2. |
T281 |
1596-1922 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Two examples from the table are 1) Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C that may associate with neurodevelopmental disorders., seizures, behavioral abnormalities [123], and 2) Interleukin-7 that plays a central, critical role in the regulation of the immune system and associates with severe lymphopenia when deficient [124]. |
