To date, no vaccines or effective drugs have been approved to prevent or treat
COVID-19 and the current standard care relies on supportive treatments.
Therefore, based on the fast and global spread of the virus, urgent
investigations are warranted in order to develop preventive and therapeutic
drugs. In this regard, treatments addressing the immunopathology of SARS-CoV-2
infection have become a major focus. Notably, while a rapid and well-coordinated
immune response represents the first line of defense against viral infection,
excessive inflammatory innate response and impaired adaptive host immune defense
may lead to tissue damage both at the site of virus entry and at systemic level.
Several studies highlight relevant changes occurring both in innate and adaptive
immune system in COVID-19 patients. In particular, the massive cytokine and
chemokine release, the so-called "cytokine storm", clearly reflects a widespread
uncontrolled dysregulation of the host immune defense. Although the prospective
of counteracting cytokine storm is compelling, a major limitation relies on the
limited understanding of the immune signaling pathways triggered by SARS-CoV-2
infection. The identification of signaling pathways altered during viral
infections may help to unravel the most relevant molecular cascades implicated in
biological processes mediating viral infections and to unveil key molecular
players that may be targeted. Thus, given the key role of the immune system in
COVID-19, a deeper understanding of the mechanism behind the immune dysregulation
might give us clues for the clinical management of the severe cases and for
preventing the transition from mild to severe stages.
