COVID-19 research v1.14 CCR5 Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: CCR5 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility); to: CCR5 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility). Illumina review: Cytokine receptor. From OMIM: Variation in the CCR5 gene is associated with susceptibility to West Nile Virus (PMID 16230476;21935451;19247438). Numerous studies additionally demonstrate variation in CCR5 is associated with resistance / susceptibility to HIV and HBV infection. PMID 24098976: Zapata et al. (2013) - main genetic factor related to HIV-1 resistance is the CCR5-Δ32 variant. The CCR5-Δ32 variant along with SNPs in the CCR5 promoter and the CCR2-V64I variant have been included in seven human haplogroups (HH) previously associated with resistance/susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and different rates of AIDS progression. This study determined the association of the CCR5 promoter SNPs, the CCR5-Δ32 mutation, CCR2-V64I SNP, and HH frequencies with resistance/susceptibility to HIV-1 infection in a cohort of HIV-1-serodiscordant couples from Colombia. The CCR5-Δ32 allele is not responsible for HIV-1 resistance in this HESN group; however, the CCR2-I allele could be protective, while the 29G allele might increase the likelihood of acquiring HIV-1 infection. HHG1 and the AGACCAC-CCR2-I-CCR5 wild-type haplotype might promote HIV-1 infection while HHF2 might be related to resistance. PMID 31686727: Moudi et al. (2019) - study evaluated the association between the CCR5-Δ32, CCR5-2459A/G, MCP-1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C SNPs and HBV susceptibility, in samples of Iranian populations. Significant associations with susceptibility to chronic HBV infection was observed with CCR5-2459A/G, MCP1-2518A/G, VDR-APa1A/C, VDR-Taq1T/C polymorphisms. In addition, no association of the CCR5D32 SNP with the disease was found. PMID:31100442 - Koor et al. (2019) - 9 CCR5 haplotypes are defined by seven 5'UTR SNPs in HIV-1 disease. Study identified key SNPs in HIV-1 control in both controllers and progressors.

COVID-19 research v1.10 CCR5 Sarah Leigh commented on gene: CCR5: CCR5 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 3 grouping (experimental evidence and association data consistent with viral susceptibility)
COVID-19 research v0.348 KLF2 Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: KLF2: Evidence Summary from Illumina curation team (Alison Coffey and Julie Taylor): KLF2 is a member of the Kruppel-like factor (KLF) family of zinc finger transcription factors that function in cell differentiation, quiescence, and homeostasis. It also plays a regulatory role in inflammation-related pathways (Jha and Das 2017). Richardson et al. (2012) showed that KLF2 acts as a host factor that modulates CCR5 expression in CD4 T cells and influences susceptibility to infection with CCR5-dependent HIV-1 strains. Huang et al. (2017) showed through both network analyses and experimental results that KLF2 plays a central role in regulating many genes associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) identified by GWAS and that overexpression of KLF2 in vivo in mice could mitigate lung injury and expression of inflammatory genes, including that induced by influenza A virus.

PMID 17141159: Lee et al. (2006) - KLF2 deficient mice die in prenatal stage due to vascular defects, highlighting its crucial role in embryonic development. Lethal high-output heart failure, as found in the KO mice, was also observed in zebrafish embryos after morpholino inhibition of the Klf2 ortholog klf2a. CD4+ T cells from KLF2-deficient mice expressed multiple inflammatory chemokine receptors, suggesting that loss of KLF2 leads to redirection of naïve T cells to nonlymphoid sites (Sebzda et al., 2008).

PMID 19592277: Weinreich et al. (2009) - Demonstrated upregulation of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 on KLF2-deficient T cells (Fig. 1). KLF2-deficient T cells also overproduced IL-4 (Fig. 5).

PMID 22988032: Richardson et al. (2012) - Tested whether the abundance of KLF2 after T cell activation regulates CCR5 expression and, thus, susceptibility of a T cell to CCR5-dependent HIV-1 strains (R5). Introduced small interfering RNA targeting KLF2 expression and demonstrated that reduced KLF2 expression also resulted in less CCR5 (Fig. 3). Introduction of KLF2 under control of a heterologous promoter could restore CCR5 expression and R5 susceptibility to CD3/28 costimulated T cells and some transformed cell lines (Fig. 5, 6). KLF2 is a host factor that modulates CCR5 expression in CD4 T cells and influences susceptibility to R5 infection.

PMID 29125549: (review) Jha and Das (2017) - KLF2 also plays a critical regulatory role in various inflammatory diseases and their pathogenesis.

PMID 27855271: Huang et al. (2017) - Animal and in vitro models of acute lung injury were used to characterize KLF2 expression and its downstream effects responding to influenza A virus (A/WSN/33 [H1N1]), tumor necrosis factor-α, LPS, mechanical stretch/ventilation, or microvascular flow to examine the role of the gene in endothelial barrier disruption and cytokine storm in experimental lung injury. Pulmonary Klf2 was down-regulated by inflammation induced by influenza A/WSN/H1N1 virus (H1N1) infection, LPS administration, or LPS administration followed by high tidal volume ventilation in vivo (Fig. 1). It was also down-regulated by pathologic stretch and inflammatory stimuli (Fig. 2). Knockdown of endogenous KLF2 reduces Rac1 activation in human pulmonary microvascular cells, whereas adenovirus-mediated transduction with KLF2 promoted Rac1 activation (Fig. 3). Computational predictive pathway analysis suggested that KLF2 acts to regulate ARDS-associated GWAS genes, including ACE, NAD(P)H, NQO1, SERPINE1/PAI-1, TNF, and NF-kappaB. Expression studies in mice confirmed this regulatory role (Fig. 8). Overexpression of KLF2 in vivo in mice could also mitigate lung injury and expression of inflammatory genes (Fig. 7).
COVID-19 research v0.205 CCR5 Sarah Leigh edited their review of gene: CCR5: Added comment: Preprint https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.02.20084673 reports 10 terminally-ill, critical COVID-19 patients with profound elevation of plasma IL-6 and CCL5 (RANTES), decreased CD8+ T cell levels, and SARS-CoV-2 plasma viremia. Treatment with CCR5 blocking antibody leronlimab, results in complete CCR5 receptor occupancy on macrophage and T cells, rapid reduction of plasma IL-6, restoration of the CD4/CD8 ratio, and a significant decrease in SARS-CoV-2 plasma viremia. From single-cell RNA-sequencing, this effect appears to be a result of reduced transcriptomic myeloid cell clusters expressing IL-6 and interferon-related genes.; Changed publications: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.02.20084673
