Abstract
COVID-19 is a pandemic disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The persistent and excessive inflammatory response can build up a clinical picture that is difficult to manage and potentially fatal. Potent activators of inflammatory phenomena are damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and, in particular, the high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). HMGB1 is an intranuclear protein that is either passively released during hypoxia-related necrosis or actively released by macrophages. Heme oxygenase (HO-1) has an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting HMGB1, which could be a therapeutic target to reduce COVID-19 inflammation. In our study, we evaluated CD3, CD4, CD8, HMGB1 and HO-1 in the COVID-19 lung and correlated it to clinical data.
