摘要
COVID-19 causes a clinical spectrum of acute and chronic illness and host / virus interactions are not completely understood[1][1],[2][2]. To identify host factors that can influence SARS-CoV-2 infection, we screened the human genome for genes that, when upregulated, alter the outcome of authentic SARS-CoV-2 infection. From this, we identify 34 new genes that can alter the course of infection, including the innate immune receptor P-selectin, which we show is a novel SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor. At the cellular level expression of P-selectin does not confer tropism for SARS-CoV-2, instead it acts to suppress infection. More broadly, P-selectin can also promote binding to SARS-CoV-2 variants, SARS-CoV-1 and MERS, acting as a general spike receptor for highly pathogenic coronaviruses. P-selectin is expressed on platelets and endothelium[3][3], and we confirm SARS-CoV-2 spike interactions with these cells are P-selectin-dependent and can occur under shear flow conditions. In vivo , authentic SARS-CoV-2 uses P-selectin to home to airway capillary beds where the virus interacts with the endothelium and platelets, and blocking this interaction can clear vascular-associated SARS-CoV-2 from the lung. Together we show for the first time that coronaviruses can use the leukocyte recruitment system to control tissue localization, and this fundamental insight may help us understand and control highly pathogenic coronavirus disease progression. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
