Impact of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 Expression in Patients With Preeclampsia
As maternal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, studies on pregnancy-related complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection are being actively conducted. Considering that pregnant women with COVID-19 may develop a preeclampsia (PE)-like syndrome, it is necessary to differentiate it from PE because true PE can ...

Detection of tmprss2-erg and tmprss2-egr1 gene fusion in prostate cancer from a Chinese population [PDF]
Abstract Background TMPRSS2: ETS gene fusion occurs recurrently in a high proportion of prostate cancer (PCa) patients in Western countries. However, for Chinese PCa patients, no solid conclusion could be drawn from the present studies, as the results varied considerably between the limited reports.

The Role of TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS2- Inhibitors in Cell Entry Mechanism of COVID-19
The enzymes trypsin, furine and other proprotein convertases, cathepsin, transmembrane proteases (TMPRSS) and elastases play a role in the cell entry of coronaviruses (Coronaviridae). The proteases TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS11a, which are abundant in the respiratory tract and expressed on cell surfaces, promote the entry of SARS-CoV-1 viruses.
