Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), as a worldwide serious issue has been shown to lead to progression and poor outcomes in cancer patients. The underlying mechanisms for SARS-CoV-2 infection's adverse effects on cancer patients have not been fully understood. We hypothesized that CD147 and Cyclophilin A (CyPA) not only can play a significant role in infection severity but also can contribute to cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance in cancer patients with COVID-19. In addition, we hypothesized that the expression of both CD147 and CyPA could be increased by Hypoxia-inducible Factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) activation during hypoxic conditions that occurred during COVID-19. Therefore, this evidence can open a new window in the management of cancer patients during the pandemic and therapeutic approaches targeting CD147 and CyPA could be a potentially promising therapeutic approach for such patients.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)作为一个全球性的严重问题,已被证明会导致癌症患者病情进展和不良预后。严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染对癌症患者产生不利影响的潜在机制尚未完全明确。我们推测,CD147和亲环素A(CyPA)不仅在感染严重程度中起重要作用,而且在COVID-19癌症患者的癌症进展和化疗耐药中也发挥作用。此外,我们推测在COVID-19期间出现的缺氧条件下,缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)的激活可增加CD147和CyPA的表达。因此,这一证据可为大流行期间癌症患者的管理打开一扇新窗口,针对CD147和CyPA的治疗方法可能是这类患者潜在的有前景的治疗途径。
