Further studies revealed that tocilizumab inhibited the expression of senescence markers (p21 and p16), ROS generation as well as endothelial adhesion molecule mediated leukocyte adhesion [90]. SARS-CoV-2 infection primarily affects the pulmonary system, but accumulating evidence suggests that it also affects the pan-vasculature in the extrapulmonary systems by directly (via virus infection) or indirectly (via cytokine storm), causing endothelial dysfunction (endotheliitis, endothelialitis and endotheliopathy) and multi-organ injury. Mitochondrial dysfunction usually occurs after viral infection, thereby exacerbating tissue damage. 2021;22:4177. 2022. https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1762855/v1.

Endothelial contribution to COVID-19: an update on mechanisms and therapeutic implications. Although current pharmacotherapies against acute and post-acute COVID-19 mainly centered on blocking viral replication and limiting inflammation/inflammasome activation, it is likely that novel therapeutic approaches targeting endothelial dysfunction could represent a promising strategy to cardiovascular sequelae in COVID-19 convalescent patients [6] in light of elevated circulating level of biomarker soluble P-selectin in COVID-19 convalescent donors compared to healthy controls [175]. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2021;128:13236. 2023 Mar 31;102(13):e33345. In addition, spike protein S1-mediated elevation of markers of endothelial inflammation and injury (including E-selectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and PAI-1) and THP-1 monocyte adhesion to ECs was further exacerbated by dihydrotestosterone or TNF- treatment, but ameliorated by spironolactone treatment [77]. 2022;19:149.

COVID-19 is associated with several common symptoms in the acute phase that can linger during recovery. Severe COVID-19-induced cytokine storm (such as IL-6, IL-1, TNF-, MCP-1, etc) is a good predictor ofthe severity of COVID-19, which also aggravates multi-organ injury by propagating the vicious cycle of ECs damage, inflammation and thrombosis [93].

Intriguingly, the main coronary arteries have no detectable expression of ACE2, suggesting the occurrence of COVID-19-induced endotheliitis in small vessel like capillaries; however, the culprit in the main coronaries are largely dependent on indirect mechanism arising from SARS-CoV-2 infection [47]. Because each symptom can be traced to the autonomic nervous system and its dysfunction, a platform for investigation is clear. It remains elusive whether COVID-19 patient should continue or initiate statin therapy. Evidently, based on the cytokine storm in severe or critically ill COVID-19 patients, targeted inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1, IL-6 and downstream signal transduction pathways appears to be important avenues [93]. 2020;98:31422. COVID-19 is also associated with acute limb ischemia [43], reproductive system injury, such as erectile dysfunction [44], stroke and deep vein thrombosis [11]. 2. However, there are also reports showing that ACE2 expression is absent from human ECs. Severe COVID-19 is a microvascular disease. One of the most peculiar characteristics of the olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 is that it typically starts very abruptly, lasts for only a few days (mean or median ranges: 7-21.6 days [34,35]), and smell can recover just as abruptly as it was lost. 2020;116:1097100.

Since atherosclerosis is an important cause for coronary artery disease, it might be of interest to investigate whether COVID-19 can accelerate the development of endothelial dysfunction and new onset atherosclerosis [26]. Molecular underpinnings of metabolic alterations caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection warrants further studies; Lastly, considering the evolving mutations of SARS-CoV-2 (such as Delta variant and Omicron variant), effect and mechanism of these variants in viral entry and endothelial functionality warrant further studies. Biomolecules. A recent retrospective study found that the levels of soluble ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) were elevated in COVID-19 patients and changed during disease progression and regression, raising the possibility that these inflammatory markers are good index of endothelial inflammation and dysfunction in COVID-19 [76]. In another translational study, treatment of human pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells (hECs) with SARS-CoV-2 leads to enriched gene program involved in immunity, inflammation and viral response (such as TNF-, IFNs and NF-B signaling pathway). SARS-CoV-2 causes ACE/ACE2 balance disruption and RAAS activation, which leads ultimately to COVID-19 progression, especially in patients with comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. Elevated level of VEGF in senescent ECs and COVID-19 patients are potent trigger of increased angiogenesis in patient tissues, underlying the clinical utility of anti-VEGF treatment for COVID-19 patients [86, 87]. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1-mediated endothelial injury and pro-inflammatory state is amplified by dihydrotestosterone and prevented by mineralocorticoid antagonism. Cytokine storm.

It is well-recognized that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) present with increased COVID-19 severity and poorer clinical outcomes compared with non-diabetic subjects [122]. EndoMT, defined as the loss of endothelial markers/characteristics (CD31, VE-cadherin and Tie2) and gaining of mesenchymal cell markers (FSP-1, -SMA and vimentin), is central to COVID-19 induced lung fibrosis and pulmonary artery hypertension [72, 73]. Viruses. The evidence discussed below support both a direct mechanism (virus infection via ACE2, L-SIGN and other receptors) and indirect mechanisms (such as cytokine storm) are involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection associated endothelial dysfunction (Fig. Graa A, Rufino I, Martins AM, Raposo S, Ribeiro HM, Marto J. Int J Pharm. Emerging evidence has suggested that thinning of endothelial glycocalyx layer is associated with COVID-19, and thus the glycocalyx integrity was perceived as an important therapeutic target in COVID-19 [109, 110].
