The novel corona virus disease has shaken the entire world with its deadly
effects and rapid transmission rates, posing a significant challenge to the
healthcare authorities to develop suitable therapeutic solution to save lives on
earth. The review aims to grab the attention of the researchers all over the
globe, towards the role of ACE2 in COVID-19 disease. ACE2 serves as a molecular
target for the SARS-CoV-2, to enter the target cell, by interacting with the
viral glycoprotein spikes. However, the complexity began when numerous studies
identified the protective response of ACE2 in abbreviating the harmful effects of
vasoconstrictor, anti-inflammatory peptide, angiotensin 2, by mediating its
conversion to angiotensin-(1-7), which exercised antagonistic actions to
angiotensin 2. Furthermore, certain investigations revealed greater resistance
among children as compared to the geriatrics, towards COVID-19 infection, despite
the elevated expression of ACE2 in pediatric population. Based upon such
evidences, the review demonstrated possible therapeutic interventions, targeting
both the protective and deleterious effects of ACE2 in COVID-19 disease,
primarily inhibiting ACE2-virus interactions or administering soluble ACE2. Thus,
the authors aim to provide an opportunity for the researchers to consider RAAS
system to be a significant element in development of suitable treatment regime
for COVID-19 pandemic.
