Influenza A virus modulates ACE2 expression and SARS-CoV-2 infectivity in human cardiomyocytes

Summary: Influenza A virus (IAV) and SARS-CoV-2 virus are both acute respiratory viruses currently circulating in the human population. This study aims to determine the impact of IAV infection on SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and cardiomyocyte function. Infection of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC)...

description Summary: Influenza A virus (IAV) and SARS-CoV-2 virus are both acute respiratory viruses currently circulating in the human population. This study aims to determine the impact of IAV infection on SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and cardiomyocyte function. Infection of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC), A549 cells, lung fibroblasts (HLF), monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs), cardiac fibroblasts (HCF) and hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes with IAV enhanced the expression of ACE2, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor. Similarly, IAV infection increased levels of ACE2 in the lungs of mice and humans. Of interest, we detected heavily glycosylated form of ACE2 in hiPSC-CMs and poorly glycosylated ACE2 in other cell types. Also, prior IAV infection enhances SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding and viral entry in all cell types. However, efficient SARS-CoV-2 replication was uniquely inhibited in cardiomyocytes. Glycosylation of ACE2 correlated with enzymatic conversion of its substrate Ang II, induction of eNOS and nitric oxide production, may provide a potential mechanism for the restricted SARS-CoV-2 replication in cardiomyocytes.
