TMPRSS2 Is Essential for SARS-CoV-2 Beta and Omicron Infection
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a global health threat and novel antiviral strategies are urgently needed. SARS-CoV-2 employs the cellular serine protease TMPRSS2 for entry into lung cells, and TMPRSS2 inhibitors are being developed for COVID-19 therapy ...

TMPRSS2 Isoform 1 Activates Respiratory Viruses and Is Expressed in Viral Target Cells. [PDF]
The cellular protease TMPRSS2 cleaves and activates the influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) and TMPRSS2 expression is essential for viral spread and pathogenesis in mice.

Recently, gene fusions between the androgen responsive gene TMPRSS2 and members of the ETS-family of DNA-binding transcription factor genes were found in prostate cancer. Recurrent fusions were identified between the 5'-noncoding region of TMPRSS2 and ERG, or less frequently ETV1 or ETV4, resulting in overexpression of normal or truncated ETS-proteins.

Increased ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expression in ulcerative colitis [PDF]
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a cryptogenic inflammatory bowel disease, and there is an urgent need to elucidate its pathogenesis. ACE2 and TMPRSS2, the entry molecules of SARS-CoV-2, are reportedly associated with the disease; however, no consensus has been reached yet.

Expression of <i>ACE2</i> and <i>TMPRSS2</i> and the severity of COVID-19. [PDF]
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), uses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) to enter host cells. Variability in gene expression of these entry factors has been hypothesized to influence susceptibility ...

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in thyroid follicular cells from a COVID-19 autopsy series
Objective: To understand whether thyroid cells can be directly infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and to establish a putative correlation with the expression of the host entry machinery: ACE-2, TMPRSS2, and furin.
