Harnessing Adenosine A2A Receptors as a Strategy for Suppressing the Lung Inflammation and Thrombotic Complications of COVID-19: Potential of Pentoxifylline and Dipyridamole 2020-07-02 .txt text/plain 3891 251 41 5 Importantly, neutrophils, whose activation and transit into lung interstitial tissue and alveolar space is a key mediator of the respiratory distress syndrome associated with COVID-19, are highly responsive to the functionally suppressive effects of A2AR, as are the endothelial cells whose activation attracts and enables transendothelial passage of activated neutrophils. Most studies with DIP have focused on its platelet-stabilizing effects -which presumably could provide some protection from SARS-CoV-2's pro-thrombotic effects -but experimental studies also show that DIP can act on neutrophils to suppress superoxide production, adhesion to endothelial cells, and, in a mouse model of anti-phospholipid syndrome (a sometime feature of COVID-19), NETosis formation. 79 Supplemental glucosamine may likewise up-regulate the type 1 interferon responses to viruses, while exerting anti-inflammatory effects that render it protective in rodent models of sepsis and lung inflammation induced by LPS or cigarette smoke. ./cache/cord-268425-xg8xnjf9.txt ./txt/cord-268425-xg8xnjf9.txt
