Can SARS-CoV-2’s impairment of endothelium cause vascular disease?
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the pathogen that causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), contains the spike protein that binds with the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to enter and infect host cells.
Researchers in the U.S. and China have revealed that SARS-CoV-2 s spike protein does not only latch and bind to healthy cells for infection, but also plays a key role in the disease process.
The study, published in the journal
Circulation Research, suggests that COVID-19 is not only a respiratory disease but also a vascular disease. It highlights how the virus attacks the vascular system, causing endothelial impairment.

LA JOLLA–(April 30, 2021) Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2’s distinctive “spike” proteins help the virus infect its host by latching on to healthy cells. Now, a major new study shows that they also play a key role in the disease itself.
The paper, published on April 30, 2021, in Circulation Research, also shows conclusively that COVID-19 is a vascular disease, demonstrating exactly how the SARS-CoV-2 virus damages and attacks the vascular system on a cellular level. The findings help explain COVID-19’s wide variety of seemingly unconnected complications, and could open the door for new research into more effective therapies.
