Regulation of interferon production as a potential strategy for COVID-19 treatment
Regulating the upstream of the cytokines production could be a promising strategy to the treatment of COVID-19. We suggest to pay more attention to the dysregulated IFN-I production in COVID-19 and to considerate cGAS, ALK and STING as potential therapeutic targets preventing cytokine storm. Approved drugs like suramin and ALK inhibitors are worthy of clinical trials.

(1) Background: RNA viruses and especially coronaviruses could act inside host cells not only by building their own proteins, but also by perturbing the cell metabolism. We show the possibility of miRNA-like inhibitions …
Blocking of the CD80/86 axis as a therapeutic approach to prevent progression to more severe forms of COVID-19
In its more severe forms, COVID-19 progresses towards an excessive immune response, leading to the systemic overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines like IL6, mostly from the infected lungs. This cytokine storm can ca…
