    Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus (nCoV) of animal origin started infecting humans, initiating a severe outbreak in China. This virus, named “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus 2” (SARS-CoV-2), can cause a severe and even fatal respiratory disease, called Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), and lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The virus is highly contagious and transmission occurs presumably via airborne droplets, and fecal-oral route (Zhang et al., 2020).

    • SARS-CoV-2 infection rewires host cell metabolism and is potentially susceptible to mTORC1 inhibition Peter J. Mullen, Gustavo Garcia Jr, Arunima Purkayastha, Nedas Matulionis, Ernst W. Schmid, Milica Momcilovic, Chandani Sen, Justin Langerman, Arunachalam Ramaiah, David B. Shackelford, Robert Damoiseaux, Samuel W. French, Kathrin Plath, Brigitte N. Gomperts, Vaithilingaraja Arumugaswami & Heather R. Christofk Nature Communications volume 12, Article number: 1876 (2021) Abstract Viruses hijack host cell metabolism to acquire the building blocks required for replication. Understanding how SARS-CoV-2 alters host cell metabolism may lead to potential treatments for COVID-19. Here we profile metabolic changes conferred by SARS-CoV-2 infection in kidney epithelial cells and lung air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures, and show that SARS-CoV-2 infection increases glucose carbon entry into the TCA cycle via increased pyruvate carboxylase expression. SARS-CoV-2 also reduces oxidative glutamine metabolism while maintaining reductive carboxylation. Consistent with these changes, SARS-CoV-2 infection increases the activity of mTORC1 in cell lines and lung ALI cultures. Lastly, we show evidence of mTORC1 activation in COVID-19 patient lung tissue, and that mTORC1 inhibitors reduce viral replication in kidney epithelial cells and lung ALI cultures. Our results suggest that targeting mTORC1 may be a feasible treatment strategy for COVID-19 patients, although further studies are required to determine the mechanism of inhibition and potential efficacy in patients.
