High-density lipoprotein function is modulated by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in a lipid-type dependent manner av Correa, Yubexi, Del Giudice, Rita, Waldie, Sarah, Thépaut, Michel, Micciula, Samantha, Gerelli, Yuri, Moulin, Martine, Delaunay, Clara, Fieschi, Franck, Pichler, Harald, Haertlein, Michael, Forsyth, V. Trevor, Le Brun, Anton, Moir, Michael, Russell, Robert A., Darwish, Tamim, Brinck, Jonas, Wodaje, Tigist, Jansen, Martin, Martín, César, Roosen-Runge, Felix, Cárdenas, Marité

“…It is known that the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein binds the HDL particle, probably depleting it of lipids and altering HDL function. Based on neutron reflectometry (NR) and the ability of HDL to efflux cholesterol from macrophages, we confirm these observations and further identify the preference of the S protein for specific lipids and the consequent effects on HDL function on lipid exchange ability. …”
