Abstract

We analyzed the ability of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) itself and SARS-CoV-2-IgG immune complexes to trigger human monocyte necroptosis. SARS-CoV-2 was able to induce monocyte necroptosis dependently of MLKL activation. Necroptosis-associated proteins (RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL) were involved in SARS-CoV-2N1 gene expression in monocytes. SARS-CoV-2 immune complexes promoted monocyte necroptosis in a RIPK3- and MLKL-dependent manner, and Syk tyrosine kinase was necessary for SARS-CoV-2 immune complex-induced monocyte necroptosis, indicating the involvement of Fcγ receptors on necroptosis. Finally, we provide evidence that elevated LDH levels as a marker of lytic cell death are associated with COVID-19 pathogenesis.

Keywords: COVD-19 pathogenesis; Fcγ receptors; MLKL; Monocyte; Necroptosis; SARS-CoV-2.
