The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (CoV-2) pandemic has affected millions globally. A significant complication of CoV-2 infection is secondary bacterial co-infection, as seen in approximately 25% of severe cases. The most common organism isolated during co-infection is Here, we describe the development of an co-infection model where both viral and bacterial replication kinetics may be examined. We demonstrate CoV-2 infection does not alter bacterial interactions with host epithelial cells. In contrast, enhances CoV-2 replication by 10- to 15-fold. We identify this pro-viral activity is due to the iron-regulated surface determinant A (IsdA) protein and demonstrate IsdA modifies host transcription. We find that IsdA alters Janus Kinase - Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling, by affecting JAK2-STAT3 levels, ultimately leading to increased viral replication. These findings provide key insight into the molecular interactions between host cells, CoV-2 and during co-infection.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(CoV-2)大流行已在全球范围内影响了数百万人。CoV-2感染的一个重要并发症是继发性细菌共感染,在约25%的重症病例中可见。共感染期间分离出的最常见病原体是……在此,我们描述了一种共感染模型的构建,在该模型中可以检测病毒和细菌的复制动力学。我们证明CoV-2感染不会改变细菌与宿主上皮细胞的相互作用。相反,……可使CoV-2复制增强10至15倍。我们确定这种促进病毒的活性归因于……铁调节表面决定簇A(IsdA)蛋白,并证明IsdA可改变宿主转录。我们发现IsdA通过影响JAK2-STAT3水平改变Janus激酶-信号转导子和转录激活子(JAK-STAT)信号传导,最终导致病毒复制增加。这些发现为共感染期间宿主细胞、CoV-2和……之间的分子相互作用提供了关键见解。
