SARS-COV-2 Human Cells and Tissue Tropism

“Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in December 2019, causing a Respiratory Disease (Coronavirus Disease 2019, COVID-19) of varying severity in Wuhan, China, and subsequently leading to a worldwide Pandemic. [Harrison, AG>]


 “An urgent need for pathophysiological models to study SARS-CoV-2 infection using human disease-relevant cells has emerged since the  COVID-19 Disease began the Pandemic Jan 2020.


  "COVID-19 pathophysiology now not only includes Respiratory Failure but involves other organ systems including gut, liver, heart, and pancreas.

 

For more extensive investigations, “Scientists developed an experimental platform comprised of cell and organoid derivatives from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and  found  a 'spike-enabled pseudo-entry virus' infects pancreatic endocrine cells, liver organoids, cardiomyocytes, and dopaminergic neurons. 


“Recent clinical studies show a strong association with COVID-19 and Diabetes. Scientists found:

  • human pancreatic beta cells and liver organoids are highly permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection, 
  • and further validated adult primary human islets and adult hepatocyte and cholangiocyte organoids are highly permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection’
  • SARS-CoV-2 infection caused striking expression of chemokines, as also seen in primary human COVID-19 pulmonary autopsy samples. 
  • human pluripotent stem cells hPSC-derived cells/organoids provide valuable models for understanding the cellular responses of human tissues to SARS-CoV-2 infection and for disease modeling of COVID-19.

Epub 2020 Jun 19. PMID: 32579880; PMCID: PMC7303620.]


“Scientists evaluated SARS-CoV-2 tissue and cellular Tropism in human respiratory tract, conjunctiva, and innate immune responses in comparison with other coronavirus and influenza virus to provide insights into COVID-19 pathogenesis.


“The conjunctival epithelium and conducting airways appear to be potential portals of infection for SARS-CoV-2. Both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 replicated similarly in the alveolar epithelium; SARS-CoV-2 replicated more extensively in the bronchus than SARS-CoV.


“These research results provide important insights into increased Tropism, transmissibility and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection as compared to other respiratory pathogens.”

‘Similar to influenza, advanced age has emerged as the leading host risk factor for developing severe COVID-19. Investigators considered important differences between COVID-19 and Influenza, mainly the protean clinical presentation and associated lymphopenia of COVID-19 and the contrasting role of interferon-γ in mediating the host immune response to these viruses. 


“Investigators researched the tropism for vascular endothelial cells of SARS-CoV-2, commenting on the potential limitations of Influenza as a model for COVID-19 and explored hallmarks of ageing that could explain the association between advanced age and susceptibility to severe COVID-19.


“Influenza findings were inadequate explaining the distinct clinical course in severe COVID-19, endothelialitis, the role of interferons-II(IFN-II), and the lymphopenia associated with severe COVID-19 and suggested that such differences between these two infections represent SARS-CoV-2-specific virulence mechanisms that, if elucidated, could inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies.


“The mechanistic associations between the biology of ageing and the relative susceptibility to severe viral pneumonia-induced ARDS carry substantial clinical implications that require careful consideration in future efforts to develop population-specific preventive and therapeutic interventions for COVID-19.  [Pathogenesis of COVID-19-induced ARDS: implications for an ageing population.

“The establishment of Viral Tropism depends on the susceptibility and permissiveness of invasion of a specific host cell.  “SARS-CoV-2 is highly transmissible with a Broad Tissue Tropism that is likely perpetuating the pandemic.  [Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 Transmission and Pathogenesis.

Therapeutic VIBRATIONS Inactivate COVID-19, CONFUSE TROPISM

  “Vibrations refer to the oscillating and vibrating movement of atoms and particles caused by energy. Even solid objects like tables are actually made up of microscopic vibrating atoms that receive, store, and emit energy. Pretty neat, huh? Because of this, all humans and objects have an energy field that has its own vibrational frequency.”  [Balance Your Body: Vibrations and Frequencies, Purely Simple Organic Living Aug 23, 2020 Christina Sessums, Autoimmune Disease Specialist]

 

“Vibrations are periodic back-and-forth motions of atoms, molecules and other particles of all physical systems by their energy. Vibrations fall into 2 harmonic motion categories: 

  • 1. Natural Occurring Oscillations: Every physical, material, mass system in our Universe inherently, unrecognizably and microscopically oscillate freely. Most are hidden and inconspicuous. Ohers are obvious and visible.  
  • 2. Secondary, Forced Oscillations : Systems are secondarily oscillated by external forces that alter their vibration dynamics and develop unrecognizable and microscopic oscillations or develop recognizable and macroscopic oscillations.
  • 3. Damping, in physics, is restraining the vibratory motion of systems, such as mechanical oscillations, noise, and electric currents, when systems’ energy has been dissipated.


“When pushing a playground swing, the swing’s motion subsides because of 'damping'. Automobile Shock absorbers and carpet pads are examples of damping devices.” [Physics Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica]


Years ago (1948) scientists discovered that “Viruses were mechanically disintegrated with intense vibrations.” [The Relative Sensitivities of Bacterial Viruses (Bacteriophage) to Intense Sonic Vibration, by Thomas F. Anderson, Shiela Boggs and Betty C. Winters, Science  02 Jul 1948: Vol. 108, Issue 2792, pp. 18, AAAS, DOI: 10.1126/science.108.2792.18, https://science.sciencemag.org/content/108/2792/18 ] “For PDF Purchase digital access to this article” go to the following address"

“Scientists may one day be able to destroy viruses in the same way that opera singers presumably shatter wine glasses. New research mathematically determined the frequencies at which simple viruses could be shaken to death.”  [New Way to Kill Viruses: Shake Them to Death, experiments led by K. T. Tsen and physicist Otto Sankey from Arizona State University, February 05, 2008. Jan. 14 issue of Physical Review Letters, reported by Michael Schirber LiveScience]


“Recent frontiers in technology are exploring the possibility of using external excitations to vibrate a virus to its death. ” Protective protein shell (Capsid) of viruses is influenced by mechanical excitations in the form of inaudible, extremely high frequency focused Ultrasonic Sound Waves. 


Focused Ultrasonic Sound Waves (FUSW)  tuned to the natural vibration frequency of virus shell result in resonance. At resonance, the FUSW energy’s mechanical stress will compress and rarefy the protective Virus Capsid shell severe enough to shatter the shell just like an operettic will shatter a wine glass and inactivate the virus. FUSW applied properly should deactivate Coronavirus. [Virus and Vibrations, by Saikat Chaterjee, March 30, 2020, Adamas University]


"Viruses are known to resonate in the confined-acoustic dipolar mode with microwave of the same frequency. Research revealed that resonant energy transfer, from reasonable microwave power and safe for the open public, to influenza viruses, can be sufficient to inactivate airborne virus. Inactivation was primarily from physically fracturing the virus structure, which was confirmed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. These results provide a pathway toward establishing a new epidemic prevention strategy in open public for airborne virus." [Ijaz Durrani, PhD 28th Mar, 2020 discussion with Jay Srivastava PhD, Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad]


This referenced research demonstrated important implications for the interaction between microwaves and biological tissues. With an observed inactivation threshold with a microwave power density within the IEEE safety standard, the demonstrated Efficient Structure Resonance Energy Transfer (SRET) mechanism provides a pathway for prevention for airborne viruses in open public.

WHO thinks it knows where COVID-19 originated

"Peter Ben Embarek, of the World Health Organization team holds up a chart showing pathways of transmission of the virus during a joint press conference held at the end of the WHO mission in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province on Tuesday, Feb. 


"According to a report by NPR, a member of the World Health Organization investigative team says the most likely source of the COVID-19 pandemic are “wildlife farms in southern China.”


"Peter Daszak, a disease ecologist with EcoHealth Alliance, and a member of the WHO delegation that traveled to China earlier this year, told NPR that during that trip, new evidence was found by the WHO team, that vendors at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan were being supplied with animals from these wildlife farms.


"Daszak told NPR that when the Chinese government shut down those wildlife farms in February 2020, the “response was a strong signal that the Chinese government thought those farms were the most probable pathway for a coronavirus in bats in southern China to reach humans in Wuhan.”


"The report said the wildlife farms were part of a project the Chinese government has been promoting for 20 years.


Daszak said: “They take exotic animals, like civets, porcupines, pangolins, raccoon dogs and bamboo rats, and they breed them in captivity,” NPR cited. He added that the project was a means to “alleviate rural populations out of poverty,”


"In the next two weeks, the WHO is expected to reveal the team’s investigative findings. However, Daszak provided NPR with a “highlight” of what the team determined.


“What China did then was very important,” Daszak said. “They put out a declaration saying that they were going to stop the farming of wildlife for food,” and they shut down the farms.“They sent out instructions to the farmers about how to safely dispose of the animals — to bury, kill or burn them — in a way that didn’t spread disease,” he added.


"Daszak thinks the government acted because these farms could be the point where the coronavirus moved “from a bat into another animal and then into people.” Daszak said, “I do think that SARS-CoV-2 first got into people in South China. It’s looking that way,” the news outlet cited.


"Finally, Daszak told NPR that during the WHO’s mission to China new evidence was found by the team indicating that “these farms were supplying vendors at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, where an early outbreak of COVID-19 occurred.” After being linked to cases of “what was then described as a mysterious pneumonia-like illness,” the market was shut down overnight on Dec. 31, 2019.


"NPR cited another member of the WHO investigative team, Linfa Wang, a virologist who studies bat viruses at Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, who said, “There was massive transmission going on at that market for sure.” Following the outbreak at the Huanan market, Wang noted that “Chinese scientists went there and looked for the virus.”


“In the live animal section, they had many positive samples,” Wang told NPR. “They even have two samples from which they could isolate live virus.”


And so, it’s the belief of Daszak and other WHO team members, that “the wildlife farms provided a perfect conduit between a coronavirus-infected bat in Yunnan (or neighboring Myanmar) and a Wuhan animal market,” NPR reported.


“China closes that pathway down for a reason,” Daszak said. [WHO thinks it knows where COVID-19 originated Mar 18, 2021 By Linda Hasco | lhasco@pennlive.com Nation and World News]


 

2021:  Researchers in China say they have uncovered a new batch of coronaviruses in bats that resembles the COVID-19 virus that has swept the globe.


"The researchers said they collected samples from small bats that lived in forests in the Yunnan province between May 2019 and November 2020. The samples consisted of urine, feces and mouth swabs.


"In total, we assembled 24 novel coronavirus genomes from different bat species, including four SARS-CoV-2 like coronaviruses," the researchers wrote in the journal Cell. 


"The researchers said one strain, garnered from the Rhinolophus pusillus bat species, bears a particularly strong resemblance to SARS-CoV-2, though with differences on the spike protein that the viruses use to attach to cells they infect.


"Together with the SARS-CoV-2 related virus collected from Thailand in June 2020, these results clearly demonstrate that viruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2 continue to circulate in bat populations, and in some regions might occur at a relatively high frequency," they wrote. 

"The study, released Thursday, comes amid heightened attention over the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.


Many researchers suspect the illness originated in a bat, though it is possible it passed through an intermediary animal before infecting humans. The U.S. has also pressed for an investigation into whether the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China — a claim that has rankled Beijing. 


"Observers have noted that even if the virus leaked from a lab, it does not necessarily mean the virus was created in one and could have merely been studied there before a scientist left the facility while being unknowingly infected.

A. MELATONIN, DARKNESS AND COVID-19

 ABSTRACT:  MELATONIN, THE "HORMONE OF DARKNESS" AND COVID-19 VIRULENCE


Both sunlight and darkness have a dramatic effects on COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Sunlight, vitamin D, zinc and others have been discussed, but not the “hormone of darkness", Melatonin. 


The onset of Melatonin hormone is triggered at dusk and initiates activity in nocturnal (night-active) animals like Bats and initiates sleep in diurnal Humans and other diurnal animals animals.


“There were 85 coronavirus infections linked to a single college town bar. News last week revealed at least 14 people had contracted the COVID-19 after visiting Harper’s Restaurant & Brew Pub in East Lansing, home to Michigan Sate University, between June 12 and 20. All who tested positive were said to be between the ages of 18 and 23.  Now, the Ingham County Health Department says that number is up to 85.” [Lexington Herald Leader, by Dawson White. June 28, 2020]


Nocturnal Bar Patrons and night owls, who hoot till dawn, socializing, after a day at the beach or other recreational areas, appear to be major problems, when identified, tracked and traced.


Therefore, in addition to social distancing and masks, rather than all day Bar and business closings, Bar and businesses are suggested to close at dusk following  CURFEW REGULATIONS, when nightlife activities for the both night-active-Humans’ socializing and nocturnal-viruses infestations intensely begin.

To answer the question posed by a publication:  NO administered Melatonin medication cannot reduce the severity of a COVID-19 pandemic [mbmsrmd’s Conclusion], because of the explanations listed in publication D. below. (Can Melatonin reduce the severity of COVID-19 pandemic? By Shneider A, Kudriavtsev A, Vakhrusheva A. [published online ahead of print, 2020 Apr 29].

66 million years ago (mya),[3] following Asteroid Collision(s), explosions equivalent to 100 trillion tons of TNT (more than a billion times greater than the atom bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki) Earth was colossally shaken and portions were totally destroyed and decimated . [Asteroid Impact That Killed the Dinosaurs: New Evidence By Charles Q. Choi February 07, 2013, LiveScience]


Mass Extinction of 75% of Earth’s plant and animal species, selective larger mammalian and Dinosaurs resulted. This was called Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) Dinosaur Extinction Event,[a] aka Cretaceous–Tertiary (KT) extinction,[b] 


Birds and Bats survived the explosions. There might have been multiple fallout explosions, for possibly years afterwards, following the initial earth-shaking cataclysm. Scientists postulated that DNA and RNA covalent, chemical and quantum entangled and coherent bonds likewise were exploded, earth-shaken and disassociated, disentangled, separated, fragmented and scattered. 


Covalent, chemical bonds and quantum entangled and coherent bonds hold DNA strands and DNA double helixes together and RNA strands and RNA and RNA proteins together. 


Without these bonds, DNA and RNA and other bonded compounds and molecules disassociate, disentangle, fall apart and RNA virus-like-pieces can form and scatter.


Massive, forceful explosions, as in the catastrophic K-Pg Dinosaur Extinction Period, will cause massive bond disassociations and disentanglements.

The visible disk of Milky Way Galaxy (Galactic Plane) is thought to be embedded in a much larger, roughly spherical halo of dark matter. The dark matter density drops off with distance from the galactic center. It is now believed that about 95% of the galaxy is composed of dark matter.


During our Solar System’s rotation around the black hole in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, 1.) our Solar System crossed the Galactic Plane and lethal asteroids were accelerated out from the plane and crashed into our Earth and caused the Dinosaur Extinction Period. aka Cretaceous Paleocene Period (K-Pg).

Dating the original Relic Bats requires sophisticated calculations: “The Molecular Time Scale resulting from MCMCTREE analysis in PAM: Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum Likelihoodusing the BEAST topology revealed the Rhinolophid and Hipposiderid bats fossil calibrations and Molecular time scale date to ~ 64–65 million years ago. 


Rhinolophid and Hipposiderid bats became the hosts for the RNA Coronavirus and other respiratory viruses were postulated. [How and why overcome the impediments to resolution: lessons from rhinolophid and hipposiderid bats. Mol Biol Evol. 2015;32(2):313–333. doi:10.1093/molbev/msu329]


The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event,[a] also known as the Cretaceous–Tertiary (K–T) extinction,[b] was a sudden mass extinction of 3/4 of the plant and animal species on Earth and formation of Relic Coronavirus Ancestors and other Respiratory viruses that dates to approximately 66 million years ago.  [[Renne, Paul R.; et al, ‘ (PDF). Science. 339 (6120): 684–687. Jan (7 February 2013). Bibcode: 2013 Sci. 339.. 684R. doi: 10.1126/science. 1230492. PMID 23393261. Archived (PDF) from the original on 7 February 2017]


The Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event,[a] also known as the Cretaceous–Tertiary (K–T) extinction,[b] was a sudden mass extinction of three-quarters of the plant and animal species on Earth [2][3][4] approximately,


“Bayesian inference provides a powerful framework for integrating different sources of information (in particular, molecules and fossils) to derive estimates of species divergence times. Indeed, it is currently the only framework that can adequately account for uncertainties in fossil calibrations. 2 Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo programs, MULTIDIVTIME and MCMCTREE, were used to analyze 3 empirical datasets to estimate divergence times in amphibians, actinopterygians, and felids. 


“Scientists evaluated the impact of various factors, including the priors on rates and times, fossil calibrations, substitution model, the violation of the molecular clock and the rate-drift model, and the exact and approximate likelihood calculation. Scientists assumed the molecular clock caused seriously biased time estimates when the clock was violated. Therefore, 2 different rate-drift models produced similar estimates.

 

“The prior times, which incorporates fossil-calibration information, had the greatest impact on posterior time estimation. In particular, the strategies used by the 2 programs to incorporate minimum- and maximum-age bounds led to vastly different time priors and were responsible for large differences in posterior time estimates in a previous study. The results highlight the critical importance of fossil calibrations to molecular dating and the need for probabilistic modeling of fossil depositions, preservations, and sampling to provide statistical summaries of information in the fossil record concerning species divergence times.[Jun Inoue, Philip C. J. Donoghue, Ziheng Yang, The Impact of the Representation of Fossil Calibrations on Bayesian Estimation of Species Divergence Times, Systematic Biology, Volume 59, Issue 1, January 2010, Pages 74–89, https://doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syp078]


“With the exception of some ectothermic species such as the leatherback sea turtle and crocodiles, no tetrapods weighing more than 25 kilograms (55 pounds) survived.[5] It marked the end of the Cretaceous period, and with it the end of the entire Mesozoic Era, opening the Cenozoic Era that continues today.


“The geologic record, the K–Pg event is marked by a thin layer of sediment called the K–Pg boundary, which can be found throughout the world in marine and terrestrial rocks. The boundary clay shows high levels of the metal iridium, which is rare in the Earth's crust, but abundant in asteroids.[6]


“As originally proposed in 1980 by a team of scientists led by Luis Alvarez and his son Walter, it is now generally thought that the K–Pg extinction was caused by the impact of a massive comet or asteroid 10 to 15 km (6 to 9 mi) wide,[7][8] 66 million years ago,[3] which devastated the global environment, mainly through a lingering impact winter which halted photosynthesis in plants and plankton.[9][10] 


“The impact hypothesis, also known as the ‘Alvarez Hypothesis’ was bolstered by the discovery of the 180 km (112 mi) Chicxulub crater in the Gulf of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula in the early 1990s,[11] which provided conclusive evidence that the K–Pg boundary clay represented debris from an asteroid impact.[12]


“The fact that the extinctions occurred simultaneously provides strong evidence that they were caused by the asteroid.[12] A 2016 drilling project into the Chicxulub peak ring confirmed that the peak ring comprised granite ejected within minutes from deep in the earth, but contained hardly any gypsum, the usual sulfate-containing sea floor rock in the region: The gypsum would have vaporized and dispersed as an aerosol into the atmosphere, causing longer-term effects on the climate and food chain. In October 2019, researchers reported that the event rapidly acidified the oceans producing ecological collapse and, in this way as well, produced long-lasting effects on the climate, and accordingly was a key reason for the end-Cretaceous mass extinction.[13][14] In January 2020, scientists reported new evidence that the extinction event was mostly a result of the meteorite impact and not volcanism.[15][16]


“Other causal or contributing factors to the extinction may have been the Deccan Traps and other volcanic eruptions,[17][18] climate change, and sea level change.


“A wide range of species perished in the K–Pg extinction, the best-known being the non-avian dinosaurs. It also destroyed a myriad of other terrestrial organisms, including some mammals, pterosaurs, birds,[19] lizards,[20] insects,[21][22] and plants.[23] In the oceans, the K–Pg extinction killed off plesiosaurs and mosasaurs and devastated teleost fish,[24] sharks, mollusks (especially ammonites, which became extinct), and many species of plankton. 


“It is estimated that 75% or more of all species on Earth vanished.[25] Yet the extinction also provided evolutionary opportunities: In its wake, many groups underwent remarkable adaptive radiation — sudden and prolific divergence into new forms and species within the disrupted and emptied ecological niches. Mammals in particular diversified in the Paleogene,[26] evolving new forms such as horses, whales, bats, and primates. Birds,[27] fish,[28] and perhaps lizards[20] also radiated.


With the addition of COVID-19, there are now 7 Human Coronaviruses. [CDC] Both viruses likely originated in bats. Genetically diverse coronaviruses that are related to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV have been discovered in bats worldwide.


This Research reference summarized the current knowledge on the origin and evolution of these 2 pathogenic coronaviruses and implicated the extrapolation to COVID-19. This Research reference discussed the viruses receptor usage.


This research reference report also highlighted the diversity and potential spillover of bat-borne coronaviruses, as evidenced by the recent coronavirus (SADS-CoV) spillover causing ‘swine acute diarrhea syndrome’ (in pigs).


Scientists collected data on genetic evolution, receptor binding and pathogenesis demonstrated that SARS-CoV most likely originated in bats through sequential recombination of bat SARSr-CoVs.

A similar scenario might have happened for MERS-CoV. Since its outbreak in 2012, MERSr-CoVs and related viruses (HKU4 and HKU5) have been found in different bat species in five continents 17,21,106,110,111,116,126,127,132.


Given the massive number of coronaviruses carried by different bat species, the high plasticity in receptor usage and other features such as adaptive mutation, reassortment and recombination, frequent interspecies transmission from bats to animals and humans is expected.


Furthermore, little is known about the replication and pathogenesis of these bat viruses.

“It is widely accepted that many viruses have existed in their natural reservoirs for a very long time. The constant spillover of viruses from natural hosts to humans and other animals is largely due to human activities, including modern and industrial agricultural practices, poor animal slaughter practices and ‘waste feeding’ practices, wild game animal capture for food sources and urbanization.


“Therefore, the most effective way to prevent viral zoonosis is to maintain the barriers between natural reservoirs and human society.

Dr. Jim Wellehan, D.V.M, Ph.D. published in 2018 his results and conclusions, which were similar to this Clinician, Analyst and Reporter’s summarized conclusions from other scientists’ real-time research, excluding the research of Dr. Wellehan.


Dr. Jim Wellehan’s Abstract: “Dr. Jim Wellehan, D.V.M, Ph.D.an associate professor of zoological medicine at UF’s College of Veterinary Medicine and a member of the UF Emerging Pathogens Institute, suggests the protection offered through the integration of bornaviruses into the genomes of Cretaceous-era mammals may have given them an advantage after the dinosaur extinction event that occurred 66 million years ago.


Working in collaboration with an international cohort of veterinary scientists, Wellehan helped identify new species of bornaviruses — a family of viruses that cause neurologic disease in a variety of species — that were impacting Australian carpet pythons.


When comparing these new viruses to available genetic data, the researchers found the viruses varied significantly from previously known bornaviruses; in fact, the most closely related sequences of these python bornaviruses were bornavirus genes that had integrated into mammal genomes.


These bornavirus genes, called “endogenous bornaviral-like elements,” or EBLs, have been found in other species. According to a 2014 study published in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,” an EBL in thirteen-lined ground squirrels protects them against infection from related bornaviruses. Several studies have demonstrated that endogenous viral elements protect their hosts from related viruses.


“While studying the genetic history of these EBLs and their locations in the genomes of various species, we concluded that they likely integrated into mammal DNA  approximately 70 million years ago,” Wellehan said.


Sixty-six million years ago, the end-Cretaceous extinction led to the disappearance of all dinosaurs and non-avian dinosaurs.


Bornaviruses are in the same order of viruses as Ebola, measles and rabies, all of which are capable of causing significant population-level effects. 


During the end-Cretaceous extinction, EBLs within mammal genomes may have protected mammals from bornaviruses that affected birds and reptiles, allowing them to step into the ecological niche left by extinct dinosaur species.


“Before the end-Cretaceous extinction, mammals had a poor track record for adapting to extreme climate shifts,” Wellehan said. “During times of environmental stress, infectious diseases can have greater impacts on populations. 


Mammals living during the end of the Cretaceous era, therefore, had a level of protection against bornaviruses that was lacking in birds and reptiles.”


The end-Permian extinction, which preceded the end-Cretaceous extinction by nearly 200 million years, occurred due to major climate warming from volcanic carbon dioxide release. The fossil record suggests that climate changes occurring during this time resulted in the extinction of nearly all species.


Before the end-Permian extinction, the dominant species were part of the mammal lineage. The avian/reptile lineage has renal and respiratory physiological advantages over the mammal lineage, however. In the hot, dry conditions of the time, reduced water loss gave reptiles the advantage, setting the stage for the age of dinosaurs.

For multiple complex reasons, U.S infection controls for all Coronaviruses including COVID-19 are drastically insufficient.


“Human Coronavirus Types"[CDC Website, U.S.Department of Health & Human Services,USA.gov]

Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surface. There are four main sub-groupings of coronaviruses, known as alpha, beta, gamma, and delta.


Human Coronaviruses were 1st identified in the mid-1960s.  Now there are 7 Human Coronaviruses. The 7 Coronaviruses that can infect Humans  are 4 Common Human Coronaviruses and 3 Other More Recent Human Coronaviruses: 


  • Common Human coronaviruses: 

  1. (alpha coronavirus)
  2. NL63 (alpha coronavirus)
  3. OC43 (beta coronavirus)
  4. HKU1 (beta coronavirus)

  • Other More Recent Human Coronaviruses
  • 5. MERS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS)
  • 6. SARS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS)
  • 7. SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19)


Around the world, the common infection with human coronaviruses are 229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1.


Sometimes Coronaviruses that infect animals can adapt and evolve and make people sick and become a new Human Coronavirus. 3 recent examples of this are 2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV.” [CDC Website, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, USA.gov]


Science knows 66 million years ago (mya/Ma) the Dinosaurs other animals and plants died. The Period was called Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) Dinosaur Extinction Event, [a] aka Cretaceous–Tertiary (KT) extinction, [b] The animals and plants that survived, flourished and are seen in the clues of sedentary rock. 


Science knows from Molecular time Clock and Biogeographical Analysis Methods that fossil calibrations place the fossil root-age of viruses at 64–65 million years. As best determined, viruses began 64–65 million years ago (Ma). Viruses with Bat hosts are aka Bat-phage and 64–65 million years ago (Ma) is the root-age of the 1st Zoonoses. Bats became the natural parasitic hosts of viruses. 


  • CHNOPS are the chemical symbols of the 6 most common elements (Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur) discovered and  known to comprise 98% of Earthly Life within living cells.
  • CHNOPS nuclearsynthesis dispels an extraterrestrial asteroidal system that delivered  viral DNA and RNA virus strands to Earth
  • because our Solar System, with the exception of Earth, is otherwise lifeless. 
  • Understood to this date CHNOPS nuclearsynthesis known to comprise 98% of Earthly Life, within living cells, has only happened 1 time in the history of our Universe 
  • and  supports (9.) a  Bolide Dinosaur Extinction Causative Impact Event.


The novel hypothesis posits that 66 million years ago the Bolide Impact defragmented DNA and RNA strands of living animals that are now extinct and their DNA and RNA strands were not disintegrated. Their DNA and RNA strands remained and were availed as CHNOPS Morowitz Cybernetic virus codes and, fortuitously precise, interconnected with Bat-host-mammals for parasite-host virus replication and co-evolution. 


As a suggested alternative by other postulaters, a Systematic interplanetary DNA and RNA insertable Bat-phage code, in our otherwise lifeless Solar System and Universe, rocketing as a passenger to earth on an asteroid, appears improbable. The Intelligent Design Creation of our Homo sapien-sapiens species is earthly specific.


Simplified, at ~ 66 million years ago (mya/Ma), when our Solar System crossed the Milky Way Galactic Plane, the "Bolide" (fireball) Asteroid hit earth and ferociously exploded:

  • · “Are viruses alive? Appears any such virus definition is bound to be arbitrary and does not lead to any constructive developments. In contrast, the status of viruses in the realm of biology is naturally defined within the framework of the replicator paradigm.” 
  • · No replication / replicator system can evolve without the emergence of parasites, and parasitic replicators drive the evolution of complexity at more than one level. The entire history of life is a story of parasite-host coevolution that includes various forms of cooperation. 
  • · Virus ‘evolution’ itself is an epiphenomenon of replication: selection, drift and parasite formation necessarily ensue as soon as replication with sufficient fidelity is established (Eigen 1971; Koonin 2011; Takeuchi and Hogeweg 2012).
  • · The virus replicator paradigm is truly central to biology as both a conceptual framework and a research program. Among other major issues, it settles the status of viruses in the biological world.
  • · The (partial) replicative autonomy is the key feature that makes each replicator a distinct unit of evolution which employs a specific evolutionary strategy and evolves along a unique trajectory. Certainly, the autonomy of replicators is never complete, and no replicator can survive in isolation. 
  • · The degree of a replicator’s autonomy can be readily measured by the repertoire of the components of the replication machinery (enzymes and other proteins required for replication) that are encoded in the replicator genome, and by the presence of dedicated replication and/or transposition signals.Replicators form a continuum along the autonomy axis although with some degree of arbitrariness, distinct classes ranked by the level of autonomy can be envisaged. (Figure 1 and Table 1). 
  • · The replicators are sharply divided into 2 major categories with respect to resource production: 
  • i) producers that make all the resources required for replication or make some of the resources and actively import others in an energy-dependent manner, i.e. cellular life forms, 
  • ii) and ii) non-producers that lack most of the biosynthetic and active transport capabilities, i.e. viruses and other parasitic replicators. The distinction between producers and non-producers reflects another type of autonomy that can be denoted “resource autonomy”. There is a sharp distinction between autonomous cellular life forms and non-autonomous selfish replicators. Yet, as almost always is the case in biology, borderline situations exist.
  • iii) While most of the producers (cellular life forms) make all of the energy they use and most if not all building blocks, some intracellular bacteria are energy parasites that obtain most if not all of their ATP from the host (Moran 2002; Tamas et al 2001). 
  • Conversely, some of the non-producers, such as large viruses, encode some metabolic enzymes, e.g. nucleotide kinases, that modify the production of building blocks in infected cells. The largest known viruses, in particular mimiviruses, encode many such enzymes including multiple components of the translation system such that multiple synthetic pathways in the infected cell are modified (Claverie, Abergel, & Ogata, 2009; Yutin, Wolf, Raoult, & Koonin, 2009). Among other processes, non-producers can contribute to energy conversion as is the case with cyanophages many of which encode cyanobacterial photosystems (Clokie and Mann 2006; Thompson et al 2011).
  •  Furthermore, even small non-producing replicators, such as RNA viruses, affect modifications of the host cell metabolism and the formation of structures, such as virus factories, that channel substrates into viral genome replication (Harak and Lohmann 2015; Romero-Brey and Bartenschlager 2014). All the prowess of viruses in the modulation of the host metabolism notwithstanding, producers and non-producers are clearly distinct: to the best of our current knowledge, non-producers never direct the formation of energizable membranes, extremely rarely encode complete metabolic pathways and never a complete translation system (Koonin and Dolja 2013; Raoult and Forterre 2008).” [Koonin EV, Starokadomskyy P.

  • "Comments on Molecular Clock and Biogeographical Analysis Methods: Bats have a poor and limited fossil record (Teeling et al. 2005; Eiting and Gunnell 2009). Although the oldest fossil attributable to a lineage can provide a minimum age in a soft bound analysis, choosing a maximum bound is more difficult, here we use the stratigraphic bounding method of Meredith et al. (2011) to standardize the way in which maximum boundaries are chosen across the tree. With the inclusion of fossil record of the Hipposideridae to biogeographic analysis to overcome the limitations inherent in the bat fossil record, research used only the distribution of extant taxa in our analysis. This phylogeny comprises representatives from all Hipposideridae, Rhinolophidae, and Rhinonycteridae genera. A recent study of Emballonura bats has shown that the basal clade of a group can drastically impact its biogeographical reconstruction (Ruedi et al. 2012). Although the basal clade of the Rhinolophidae remains unresolved, our reconstruction is the first to include all previously recovered basal candidates for this group as a strategy to minimize the impacts of partial taxonomic sampling of this group."

MELATONIN AND COVID-19 VIRULENCE  == mbmsrmd ABSTRACT 

  

IN THIS REPORTER'S OPINION MELATONIN IS NOT AN ADJUVANT TREATMENT FOR 

COVID-19,  BUT THE FOLLOWING PUBLICATION IS AN EXCELLENT DISCUSSION OF MELATONIN HORMONE NEUROPHYSIOLOGY


Are Your Flu Symptoms getting worse at night ? https://www.avogel.co.uk/health/immune-system/flu/are-your-flu-symptoms-getting-worse-at-night/ 


Why Do Humans Always Feel Sicker with viruses at Night?.... It’s simple, because Humans are actually Sicker From Viruses at Night. https://time.com/5521313/why-you-feel-sicker-at-night/ 

Does Melatonin, “The Hormone of Darkness” Increase Nocturnal COVID-19 Virulence?

“Melatonin's main job in the Human body is to regulate night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles.

“Darkness causes the Human body to produce more Melatonin, which signals the body to prepare for sleep. 


“Daylight decreases Melatonin production and signals the Human body to prepare for being awake. [WebMD ] 


“Humans are Diurnal; typically, awake during day and asleep at night.“Bats are nocturnal; awake during night and asleep during day.Because Bats were the original hosts and have hosted Viruses for the past 64 to 66 million years and during that time have depended on Bats for energy, liveliness, reproduction and transmission resources, Acute Respiratory Viruses and COVID-19, like other viruses, are probably, preferably nocturnal, also.


Additionally, Bats, most viruses, Acute Respiratory Viruses and COVID-19 are potentially more virulent nocturnally, because melatonin in Hosts Bats at dusk promotes activity in nocturnal (night-active) animals, when awake during night, unlike their cousin vertebrate Humans, who sleep.

For vertebrates, melatonin is produced in darkness, thus usually at night, by the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland[91] located in the center of the brain but outside the blood–brain barrier. 

Light/dark information reaches the suprachiasmatic nuclei from retinal photosensitive ganglion cells of the eyes[92][93] and triggers the pineal gland, which is the melatonin secreation signal (as was once postulated). 


Known as "the hormone of darkness", the onset of melatonin at dusk promotes activity in nocturnal (night-active) animals like Bats and sleep in diurnal animals including humans

There are more viruses than stars in the universe. Why do only some infect us https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/04/factors-allow-viruses-infect-humans-coronavirus/


All viruses are not pathogens. But after the pathogenic viruses have cunningly hawked certain vulnerable Humans, Animals, Plants and Bacteria, some viruses contaminate their targets with fatal virulent contagion.


  • Research suggests that Human body’s circadian rhythms, as well as some other factors, can exacerbate Human symptoms after sundown. 
  • Along with regulating Human sleep, Human bodies’ ‘circadian clocks’ help manage your immune system. [Michael Smolensky, biological rhythm researcher and adjunct professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Texas.] 
  • “When the immune system is activated” when Humans are sick with the common cold, “its infection-fighting cells release a variety of chemicals, some of which induce inflammation in the infected tissues,” 
  • “Humans tend to experience symptoms as most severe when “their immune system kicks into highest gear, which is normally at night during sleep,” Smolensky, explains. https://time.com/5521313/why-you-feel-sicker-at-night/ 
  •  “The body clock is said to have an effect on the body's cells. 
  •  And because viruses make use of our cell activity to replicate, proliferate and scatter, the researchers feel viruses may use this to their advantage.
  •  “Nocturnal animals and viruses evening body clock ‘winds-up’ (and research revealed viruses have greater replication), when the Humans body clock ‘winds-down’. 
  •  “In the event of a future Flu Pandemic, nocturnal (night-time) Human and worker activities should be regarded as especially vulnerable to the effects of an infection.”
  •  “Circadian rhythms are biological cycles in the body related to the time of day. They are sometimes referred to as the body clock, or as the body's individual biological timing.
  •  “The body's receptors and cells have their own clocks, which interact with each other and are controlled by this master 24-hour clock in the brain. 
  •  It is this effect on the cells that the researchers feel is responsible for the differences in viral spread.
  •  Conclusion: “Viruses exploit their-own-clockwork for their own gain (virulence) and the Human body clock plays a part in controlling the spread of a virus. [University of Cambridge.

Animals use the variation in duration of melatonin production each day as a seasonal clock.[94] In animals including humans,[95] the profile of melatonin synthesis and secretion is affected by the variable duration of night in summer as compared to winter. The change in duration of secretion thus serves as a biological signal for the organization of daylength-dependent (photoperiodic) seasonal functions such as reproduction, behavior, coat growth, and camouflage coloring in seasonal animals.[95]

FROM THIS REPORTER'S RESEARCH, MELATONIN IS NOT AN ADJUVANT TREATMENT FOR COVID-19, BUT THE FOLLOWING PUBLICATION IS AN EXCELLENT DISCUSSION OF MELATONIN HORMONE NEUROPHYSIOLOGY


COVID-19: Melatonin as a potential adjuvant treatment [Zhang R, Wang X, Ni L, et al. COVID-19: Melatonin as a potential adjuvant treatment. Life Sci. 2020;250:117583. doi:10.1016/j.lfs.2020.117583] 


Abstract: This article summarizes the likely benefits of melatonin in the attenuation of COVID-19 based on its putative pathogenesis. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has become a pandemic with tens of thousands of infected patients. Based on clinical features, pathology, the pathogenesis of acute respiratory disorder induced by either highly homogenous coronaviruses or other pathogens, the evidence suggests that excessive inflammation, oxidation, and an exaggerated immune response very likely contribute to COVID-19 pathology. This leads to a cytokine storm and subsequent progression to acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and often death. Melatonin, a well-known anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative molecule, is protective against ALI/ARDS caused by viral and other pathogens. Melatonin is effective in critical care patients by reducing vessel permeability, anxiety, sedation use, and improving sleeping quality, which might also be beneficial for better clinical outcomes for COVID-19 patients. Notably, melatonin has a high safety profile. There is significant data showing that melatonin limits virus-related diseases and would also likely be beneficial in COVID-19 patients. Additional experiments and clinical studies are required to confirm this speculation


  • 1.  Introduction: Coronaviruses (CoVs) are RNA viruses infecting both human and animals; this infection involves the respiratory, gastrointestinal and central nervous system [1]. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are infectious and lethal, and have caused thousands of deaths in the past two decades. The recent outbreak was discovered in Wuhan, China; this highly contagious disease has spread throughout China and other countries [2]. Although antiviral therapy, corticosteroid therapy and mechanical respiratory support have been applied, there is lack of a specific treatment for COVID-19 [2].
  • Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a bioactive molecule with an array of health-promoting properties; melatonin has been successfully used to treat sleep disorders, delirium, atherosclerosis, respiratory disease and viral infections [3]. Previous research has documented the positive effects of melatonin in alleviating acute respiratory stress induced by virus, bacteria, radiation, etc. [[4], [5], [6]]. Herein, we review the evidence indicating that melatonin will have supportive adjuvant utility in treating COVID-19 induced pneumonia, acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
  • 2. Pathogenesis of COVID-19 and the rationale for melatonin use Patients with COVID-19 (who were infected by SARS-CoV-2) are reported to present with fever, dry cough, myalgia, fatigue, and diarrhea, etc. with symptoms varying somewhat with the patients' age. In some cases, the severe progression of the disease results in ALI/ARDS, respiratory failure, heart failure, sepsis, and sudden cardiac arrest within a few days [2,7]. The pathogenic examination of lung specimens from mild COVID-19 patients (who were retrospectively found to have COVID-19 at the time of lung cancer surgery) showed edema, proteinaceous exudate with globules, patchy inflammatory cellular infiltration and moderate formation of hyaline membranes [8]. In a postmortem assessment of a COVID-19 patient with severe ARDS, specimens of infected lungs demonstrated bilateral diffuse alveolar damage with edema, pneumocyte desquamation and hyaline membrane formation [9].
  • Though these pathological reports were reported in only a small number of cases, the findings do resemble the pathological features found in SARS- and MERS-induced pneumonia [10]. SARS-CoVs, MERS-CoVs and SARS-CoV-2 are classified in beta-coronavirus family members [11]. Recent published research suggests that SARS-CoV-2 shares 79.0% nucleotide identity to SARS-CoV and 51.8% identity to MERS-CoV [12], indicating a high genetic homology among SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. In SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infected animal model, marked inflammatory and immune responsesmay activate a “cytokine storm”, and apoptosis of epithelial cells and endothelial cells; subsequently, vascular leakage, abnormal T cell and macrophages responses ensue and induce ALI/ARDS or even death [13].
  • Based on genetic homology and pathologic features of the infected lung, we predicted that a cytokine storm also prevails in patients with COVID-19. In the blood of patients with COVID-19, there was a marked increase in interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interferon γ (IFN-γ), interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10), and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), as well as IL-4 and IL-10 when compared to that of SARS patients. This suggests some potential difference from SARS and MERS in the pathogenesis of coronavirus [2]. There is also a potential repressed immune function in COVID-19 patients with the hypo-albuminemia, lymphopenia, neutropenia, and decreased percentage of CD8+ T cell [2,7]. Recent reports suggest that in some COVID-19 patients, although being negative for the viral nucleic acid test, still sometimes present with a high level of inflammation. A clinical trial using certolizumab pegol (a TNF blocker) along with other anti-virus therapies may have beneficial effects in COVID-19 patients. Collectively, the finding indicates that inflammation is a major feature in COVID-19 patients. Thus, we hypothesize that excessive inflammation, depressed immune system, and an activate cytokine storm substantially contribute to the pathogenesis of COVID-19.
  • In the early stages of coronaviruses infection, dendritic cells and epithelial cells are activated and express a cluster of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines including IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, both IFN-α/β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), C—C motif chemokine 3 (CCL3), CCL5, CCL2, and IP-10, etc. These are under the control of immune system. Thus, the overproduction of these cytokines and chemokines contributes to the development in disease [[14], [15], [16]].
  • IL-10, produced by T-helper-2 (Th2), is antiviral, with an infection of coronaviruses leading to a marked decrease in this agent [17,18]. Interestingly, COVID-19 patients sometimes have a significantly elevated level of IL-10 [2]. Whether this is a feature of the COVID-19 infection or the result of medical treatment is unknown. The amplification of the inflammatory response would promote cellular apoptosis or necrosis of the affected cells, which would further fuel inflammation, followed by increasing permeability of blood vessels and the aberrant accumulation of inflammatory monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils in the lung alveoli [19]. This vicious circle would intensify the situation as the regulation of immune response is lost and cytokine storm is further activated, resulting in dire consequences.
  • This known “cytokine storm” pathology associated with coronaviruses is also supported by experimental SARS-CoV models, one of which showed that the severity of Acute Lung Injury (ALI) was accompanied by an elevated expression of inflammation-relatd genes rather than increased viral titers. 
  • In another case, the ablation of IFN-α/β receptor or the depletion of inflammatory monocytes/macrophages caused a marked rise in the survival rate of coronaviruses host without a change in viral load [19,20]. Both situations suggest a potential amplifying mechanism involved in CoV-induced ALI/ARDS regardless of the viral load. If a similar pathology also exists in COVID-19, the attenuation of the cytokine storm by targeting several key steps in the process could bring about improved outcomes.
  • Melatonin is not viricidal….but it has indirect anti-viral actions [3] due to its 1. anti-inflammation, 2. anti-oxidation and 3. immune enhancing features [[21], [22], [23], [24]].There are situations in which melatonin suppresses the features of viral infections. In mice whose central nervous system is infected by virus (e.g., encephalitis), the use of melatonin caused less viremia, reduced paralysis and death, and decreased virus load [25]. In previous respiratory syncytial virus models, melatonin caused 1. down-regulation of acute lung oxidative injury, 2. pro-inflammatory cytokine release 3. and inflammatory cell recruitment. 4. These findings, along with those recently summarized by Reiter et al. [3], support a rationale for melatonin use in viral diseases. Also, melatonin's anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, immune enhancing actions supports its potential attenuation of COVID-19 infection (Fig. 1 
  • Pathogenesis of COVID-19 and potential adjuvant use of melatonin. We postulated that lungs infected by SARS-CoV-2, and a suppressed immune response, elevated inflammation and excessive oxidation stress proceed unabated, this results in the activation of the cytokine storm. ALI/ARDS may ensue, accompanied by a series of complications, the outcomes of which vary according to the severity of the disease. Melatonin may play a role of adjuvant medication in the regulation of immune system, inflammation and oxidation stress, and provide support for patients with ALI/ARDS and related complications. ALI: Acute lung injury; ARDS: Acute respiratory distress syndrome.
  • 3. Melatonin & anti-inflammation: Melatonin exerts anti-inflammatory effects through various pathways. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) may mediate the anti-inflammatory actions of melatonin by inhibiting high mobility group boxechromosomal protein 1 (HMGB1), and thus down-regulating the polarization of macrophages towards the pro-inflammatory type [26]. In sepsis-induced ALI, the proper regulation of SIRT1 attenuates lung injury and inflammation, in which the application of melatonin might be beneficial [27]. Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) is closely associated with pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative responses while being an inflammatory mediator in ALI. The anti-inflammatory effect of melatonin involves the suppression of NF-κB activation in ARDS [28,29]. Melatonin reportedly down-regulate NF-κB activation in T cells and lung tissue [30,31]. The stimulation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is crucial in protecting lung from injury. In related studies, melatonin induces the up-regulation of Nrf2 with therapeutic effects in hepatoprotection, cardioprotection, etc. [32]. Whether Nrf2 is involved in the CoV-induced ALI remains unknown, but the close interaction of SIRT1, NF-κB and Nrf2 suggests their participation in the CoV-induced ALI/ARDS. As such, the data support the potential anti-inflammatory action of melatonin. Inflammation is commonly associated with an elevated production of cytokines and chemokines, while melatonin causes a reduction in the pro-inflammatory cytokines. TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, and an elevation in the level of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 [33,34]. There may be, however, some concerns about the potential pro-inflammatory actions of melatonin when used in very high doses or under suppressed immune conditions where it may induce an increase production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, and IFN-γ [35]. Conversely, in ALI infection models, melatonin presents with anti-inflammatory and protective action [6].
  • 4. Melatonin & anti-oxidation: The anti-oxidative effect of melatonin cooperates with its anti-inflammatory actions by up-regulating anti-oxidative enzymes (e.g. superoxide dismutase), down-regulating pro-oxidative enzymes (e.g. nitric oxide synthase), and it may also interact directly with free radicals, functioning as free radical scavenger [3,4]. Viral infections and their replication constantly generate oxidized products. In a SARS-induced ALI model, the production of oxidized low density lipoprotein activates innate immune response by the overproduction of IL-6 alveolar macrophages via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-kB signaling, thereby leading to ALI [36]. TLR4 is a receptor for the innate immune system, and it is also a therapeutic target for melatonin. In brain ischemia, gastritis and periodontitis disease models, melatonin has documented anti-inflammation actions via TLR4 signaling [[37], [38], [39]]. The anti-oxidative effect of melatonin has also been confirmed in ALI caused by radiation, sepsis and ischemia-reperfusion [4,40,41]. In ALI/ARDS patients, especially when the disease is advanced and in patients treated in intense care units (ICUs), severe inflammation, hypoxemia and mechanical ventilation with high oxygen concentrations inevitably increases oxidant generation locally and systematically [42,43]. Accordingly, we speculate that excessive oxidation also is likely involved in COVID-19. The extensive studies of Gitto et al. [44,45], who used melatonin to treat newborn infants with respiratory distress, has documented the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory actions of melatonin in the lung. Thus, it is likely that the application of melatonin would be beneficial in controlling the inflammation and oxidation in coronavirus infected subjects.
  • 5. Melatonin & immunomodulation: When virus is inhaled and infects respiratory epithelial cells, dendritic cells phagocytose the virus and present antigens to T cells. Effector T cell function by killing the infected epithelial cells, and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells produce and release pro-inflammatory cytokines which induce cell apoptosis [46]. Both the pathogen (CoV) and cell apoptosis trigger and amplify the immune response. The exacerbation of cytokine production, excessive recruitment of immune cells and the uncontrollable epithelial damage generates a vicious circle for infection related ALI/ARDS [47]. The clinical characteristics of COVID-19 suggest that a reduced level of neutrophils, lymphocytes and CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood [7,48]. Melatonin exerts regulatory actions on the immune system and directly enhances the immune response by improving proliferation and maturation of natural killing cells, T and B lymphocytes, granulocytes and monocytes in both bone marrow and other tissues [49]. In macrophages, antigen presentation is also augmented after the application of melatonin, where the up-regulation of complement receptor 3, MHC class I and class II, and CD4 antigens were detected [50].
  • NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is part of the innate immune response during lung infection. The pathogen, including a virus (CoVs has not yet been tested), triggers NLRP3 activation to amplify the inflammation. There is probably a balance of the protective and damaging actions of NLRP3 in the lung. Thus, in a mouse experiment, inhibition of NLRP3 in the early phase of infection increased mortality, whereas suppression of NLRP3 at the peak of infection allowed for a protective effect [51]. This supports the use of melatonin in ALI/ARDS when inflammation is most severe. Inflammasome NLRP3 is correlated to lung diseases caused by infection, including influenza A virus, syncytial virus, and bacteria [[51], [52], [53]]. The efficacy of melatonin in regulating NLRP3 has been proven in radiation-induced lung injury, allergic airway inflammation and oxygen-induced ALI and LPS-induced ALI models, in which melatonin reduced the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils into the lung in ALI due to the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome [4,28,54,55].
  • 6. Melatonin effects in cytokine levels in human. Although there is obviously no report related to the use of melatonin in COVID-19 patients, in subjects with other diseases and an increased level of inflammation, the application of melatonin showed promising results regarding the attenuation of circulating cytokines levels. In a randomized controlled trial, 8-week oral intake of 6 mg/d melatonin caused a significant decrease in serum levels of IL-6, TNF-α and hs-C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with diabetes mellitus and periodontitis [56]. In another trial of patients suffering with severe multiple sclerosis, orally 25 mg/d of melatonin for 6 months also promoted a significant reduction in serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and lipoperoxides [57]. In the acute phase of inflammation, including during surgical stress [58], brain reperfusion [59], and coronary artery reperfusion [60], melatonin intake of 10 mg/d, 6 mg/d and 5 mg/d of melatonin for less than 5 days induced a reduced level of pro-inflammatory cytokines. A recent meta-analysis of a total of 22 randomized controlled trials suggested that a supplementary use of melatonin is associated with a significant reduction of TNF-α and IL-6 level [61]. This clinical evidence suggests that the use of melatonin as a supplement may effectively reduce the levels of circulating cytokines, and may potentially also lower pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in COVID-19 patients.
  • 9. Conclusion: Possible beneficial effects of melatonin as adjuvant use in COVID-19: 
  • in anti-inflammation · anti-oxidation · immune response regulation has been repeatedly demonstrated in respiratory disorder models induced by infections and associated complications. 
  • Melatonin has a high safety profile. Although the direct evidence of melatonin application in COVID-19 is unclear, both its use in experimental animal models and in studies on humans has continuously documented its efficacy and safety and its use by COVID-19 patients predictably would be highly beneficial.  [Rui Zhang:Resources, Writing - original draft.Xuebin Wang:Writing - original draft.Leng Ni:Writing - review & editing, Supervision.Xiao Di:Visualization.Baitao Ma:Writing - review & editing.Shuai Niu:Resources.Changwei Liu:Conceptualization, Supervision.Russel J.
