Mechanisms of gastrointestinal barrier dysfunction in COVID-19 patients
Xue W, Honda M, Hibi T. Mechanisms of gastrointestinal barrier dysfunction in COVID-19 patients. World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29(15): 2283-2293 [PMID: 37124884 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i15.2283]
Comprehensive, detailed thread on gastrointestinal effects of Covid from @GringoGranadino, one of the wonderful curators of CovidResearch.net
Gut microbiome alterations and gut barrier dysfunction are associated with host immune homeostasis in COVID-19 patients Our results suggest that the dysbiosis of the gut microbiome and the dysfunction of the gut barrier might play a role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 by affecting host immune homeostasis.
Approximately one-half of COVID-19 patients shed fecal RNA in the week after diagnosis • Four percent of patients with COVID-19 shed fecal viral RNA 7 months after diagnosis • Presence of fecal SARS-CoV-2 RNA is associated with gastrointestinal symptoms • SARS-CoV-2 likely infects gastrointestinal tissue
Analysis thread on Twitter 1/3 Viral persistence and spike shedding may decrease the amount of ACE2 in some cell types and tissues. 2012 research showed that knock-out of the ACE2 gene in mice resulted in greatly increased inflammation in the gut following intestinal damage.
