Deregulation of renin-angiotensin system by SARS-CoV infection (WP4965)

Mus musculus

The spike protein of SARS-CoV down regulates ACE2, leading to deregulation of the renin-angiotensin system. This deregulation can be the cause of lung injury that is linked to SARS-CoV infection. This work was done in a mouse model.
