    Background/Aim: Extracellular S100b effects are mediated by the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), which is the S100b membrane receptor. RAGE belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules and serves as a multiligand receptor and is expressed in high abundance by alveolar type I (AT-I) cells in adult pulmonary tissue. This study aimed to provide an insight into the association between the severity of COVID19 disease and serum S100b levels during admission to the emergency department (ED). Patients and Methods: A total of 64 patients (34 mild cases

    Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Markers in SARS-COV-2 Infection and Pneumonia: Case-Control Study
    (INT INST ANTICANCER RESEARCH, 2020-01-01) Koseler, Aylin; Sabirli, Ramazan; Goren, Tarik; Turkcuer, Ibrahim; Kurt, Ozgur
    Background/Aim: A novel human coronavirus, named SARS-COV-2, has recently caused thousands of deaths all around the world. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays an important role in the development of diseases. Patients and Methods: We aimed to to investigate the relationship between ER stress markers in patients infected with SARS-COV-2 and patients with pneumonia. A total of 9 patients (4 patients diagnosed with pneumonia and 5 patients diagnosed with SARS-COV-2 infection) who admitted to the emergency Department with symptoms of pneumonia and SARS-COV-2 were included in the study. A total of 18 healthy individuals without any known chronic or acute disease and drug use were included as the healthy control group. Serum human glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), serum human C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and serum human phospho extracellular signal regulated kinase (PERK) levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: GRP78 levels were found to be significantly higher in SARS-COV-2 positive cases compared to individuals in other groups. Serum GRP78 level median value was statistically significantly higher in SARS-COV-2-positive group compared to the other groups (p=0.0003). Serum PERK level was statistically significantly higher in SARS-COV-2-positive pneumonia cases (p=0.046). Conclusion: An association was shown between GRP78 and SARS-COV-2 infection. Although a small number of patients was investigated, these results will be important and guide future treatments of SARS-COV-2.
