Influenza virus and coronavirus epidemics or pandemics have occurred in succession worldwide throughout the early 21st century. These epidemics or pandemics pose a major threat to human health. Here, we outline a critical role of the host cell protease TMPRSS2 in influenza virus and coronavirus infections and highlight an antiviral therapeutic strategy targeting TMPRSS2.
21 世纪初,流感病毒和冠状病毒在全球范围内相继爆发流行。这些大流行对人类健康构成了重大威胁。在这里,我们概述了宿主细胞蛋白酶 TMPRSS2 在流感病毒和冠状病毒感染中的关键作用,并强调了针对 TMPRSS2 的抗病毒治疗策略。
