Anosmia is one of the most prevalent symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the
COVID-19 pandemic. However, the cellular mechanism behind the sudden loss of
smell has not yet been investigated. The initial step of odour detection takes
place in the pseudostratified olfactory epithelium (OE) mainly composed of
olfactory sensory neurons surrounded by supporting cells known as sustentacular
cells. The olfactory neurons project their axons to the olfactory bulb in the
central nervous system offering a potential pathway for pathogens to enter the
central nervous system by bypassing the blood brain barrier. In the present
study, we explored the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the olfactory system in
golden Syrian hamsters. We observed massive damage of the OE as early as 2 days
post nasal instillation of SARS-CoV-2, resulting in a major loss of cilia
necessary for odour detection. These damages were associated with infection of a
large proportion of sustentacular cells but not of olfactory neurons, and we did
not detect any presence of the virus in the olfactory bulbs. We observed massive
infiltration of immune cells in the OE and lamina propria of infected animals,
which may contribute to the desquamation of the OE. The OE was partially restored
14 days post infection. Anosmia observed in COVID-19 patient is therefore likely
to be linked to a massive and fast desquamation of the OE following sustentacular
cells infection with SARS-CoV-2 and subsequent recruitment of immune cells in the
OE and lamina propria.
