Recent evidence has shown multi-organ tropism of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including heart, kidney and liver. Previous studies have shown that close to 20% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 develop liver injury, showing an association to disease severity. Here, we characterized SARS-CoV-2 liver tropism in autopsy samples, based on the expression of cell-entry facilitators in parenchymal cells, clinical polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positivity, subgenomic SARS-CoV-2 identification using RNA sequencing, and viral RNA detection by in situ hybridization. Next, we unraveled the transcriptomic&nbsp; landscape of SARS-CoV-2 liver tropism, revealing significant increases in interferon alpha and gamma signaling and compensatory liver-specific metabolic regulation. While these results reflect changes in tissues from patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, the profound molecular alterations raise questions about the potential long-term consequences of COVID-19 infection. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>","doi":"10.25592/uhhfdm.8358","keywords":["COVID-19","SARS-CoV-2","liver","transcriptome"],"license":{"id":"CC-BY-4.0"},"publication_date":"2020-12-01","related_identifiers":[{"identifier":"10.25592/uhhfdm.8357","relation":"isVersionOf","scheme":"doi"}],"relations":{"version":[{"count":1,"index":0,"is_last":true,"last_child":{"pid_type":"recid","pid_value":"8358"},"parent":{"pid_type":"recid","pid_value":"8357"}}]},"resource_type":{"title":"Dataset","type":"dataset"},"title":"Molecular consequences of SARS-CoV-2 liver tropism"},"owners":[148],"revision":2,"updated":"2024-02-28T09:47:03.985533+00:00"}
