Nový koronavírus: Prečo koronavírus zabíja starších ľudí? Povaha: Vírusy staré pľúca
Dec 22, 2021
Autoritatívne údaje ukazujú, že priemerný vek úmrtí na COVID-19 na celom svete je viac ako 70 rokov!
Prečo starší ľudia zomrú na nové koronavírusové infekcie častejšie ako mladší ľudia? Nature Cell Biology zverejnila 8. decembra výsledky spoločného tímu čínskych vedcov, ktoré nám majú pomôcť zodpovedať túto otázku.
"In layman's terms, the novel Coronavirus invasions age the lungs of older persons." Liu Guanghui, one of the paper's corresponding authors and a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Science and Technology Daily that the results of the novel Coronavirus infection showed significantly accelerated aging of lung tissues.
Virus invasion, aging signs' spike '
Klinicky je hlavnou príčinou úmrtia pacientov s COVID-19 zlyhanie dýchania v dôsledku vážneho poškodenia pľúc.
What exactly has novel Coronavirus destroyed in the lungs? To clarify the situation, a joint research team from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the First Affiliated Hospital of The Army Military Medical University and the Beijing Institute of Genomics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a detailed "cell-to-cell" and even "intracellular molecular" analysis of lung tissue from autopsy samples of elderly patients with COVID-19.
Kombináciou patológie, proteomiky a vysokovýkonných techník transkriptómu jednotlivých buniek, tím analyzoval patologické charakteristiky 28 rôznych typov buniek v štyroch hlavných bunkových skupinách vrátane pľúcnych epitelových buniek, endotelových buniek, stromálnych buniek a imunitných buniek.
"We found that lung cells in elderly patients showed more severe 'senility'." Some cell senescence markers, senescence related inflammatory factors and DNA oxidative damage markers were significantly upregulated, Liu said.
What are the outward manifestations of "aged" lung cells?
"We see apoptosis, shedding of lung epithelial cells." For example, liu said, there is also a reduction in cell-surface active substances, which normally support the normal dilation and contraction of the alveoli, and some basic respiratory functions of the alveoli are reduced.
Drooping, retardation, apoptosis, shedding... The performance of "old lung" was unusually prominent after the novel Coronavirus invasion.
Cyklus zasiahne, čím sa urazí zranenie
"The lung tissue of the elderly may be hit in a circular fashion by the virus." Liu Guanghui told Science and Technology Daily that there are already more Novel Coronavirus receptors (ACE2) on the lung cells of the elderly than the young, and the aging of the cells is more obvious after the virus invasions. In turn, cell aging further induces the upregulation of novel Coronavirus receptors, making the cells more vulnerable to virus attack. The age-mediated "gate opening" cycle repeats, introducing more viruses and accelerating lung failure.
Okrem toho tím zistil veľkú akumuláciu alveolárnych epiteliálnych prechodných buniek vo vzorkách pľúcneho tkaniva COVID-19 na základe bioinformatickej analýzy. V alveolách sú alveolárne epitelové bunky typu I zodpovedné za výmenu plynov, ale nemajú žiadnu regeneračnú schopnosť a je potrebné ich doplniť diferenciáciou alveolárnych epitelových buniek typu II po poranení. Množstvo takýchto prechodných buniek naznačuje, že podpora typu ii bola zablokovaná.
The virus's entry into lung tissue also accelerated fibrosis, a form of lung aging, the study found. In combination with the human lung fibroblast model, we found that the silencing of longevity gene FOXO3 may promote the transformation of lung fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and mediate the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis.
Tri stratégie otvorenia brány dokorán, odrezanie podpory, zvýšenie bunkovej fibrózy a vírus vniknutý do pľúcnych buniek starších ľudí zhoršili poškodenie.
