Imbalanced Host Response to SARS-CoV-2 Drives Development of COVID-19

Across cell lines, primary bronchial epithelium, ferrets and patient material, SARS-CoV-2 infection produces a transcriptional response distinguishable from that to other respiratory viruses, combining low type I and type III interferon induction with a moderate interferon-stimulated gene response and strong chemokine and IL-6 expression.

SARS-CoV-Encoded Small RNAs Contribute to Infection-Associated Lung Pathology

SARS-CoV generates three discrete small viral RNAs during infection of mouse lung, and blocking the one derived from the nucleocapsid gene with a locked nucleic acid antagomir reduces pulmonary inflammation, tissue damage and proinflammatory cytokine expression without measurably lowering lung virus titres.
