HLA-C dysregulation as a possible mechanism of immune evasion in SARS-CoV-2 and other RNA-virus infections

Abstract: One of the mechanisms by which viruses can evade the host’s immune system is to modify the host’s DNA methylation pattern. This work aims to investigate the DNA methylation and gene expression profile of COVID-19 patients, divided into symptomatic and asymptomatic, and healthy controls, focusing on genes involved in the immune response. In this study, changes in the methylome of COVID-19 patients’ upper airways cells, the first barrier against respiratory infections and the first cells presenting viral antigen… Show more

“…In vaccine development, the consequential epitopes of B and T cells of SARS-CoV-2, and their association with HLA alleles, can contribute to the development of protective antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 infection [ 82 ]. HLA-C*01 and HLA-B*44 are potential molecular determinants in evaluating an individual’s risk of COVID-19, and genotyping of class I and II HLA in COVID-19 patients can identify individuals at a higher risk of a cytokine storm [ 62 ]. The HLA-C*01 and B*44 allele pathways can significantly aid in understanding disease transmission, physiopathogenesis, and play a significant role in managing COVID-19 disease, vaccination, and other preventive strategies in terms of clinical management [ 62 ].…”
