To test this hypothesis, pseudoviruses that expressed Spike proteins from the \u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3, \u03b4 and o variants were prepared, and the ability of CHI3L1-based interventions to modify their ability to infect human lung epithelial cells were assessed. These studies demonstrate that CHI3L1 augments the expression and accumulation of ACE2 and Spike priming proteases (SPP) and augments epithelial infection by the \u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3, \u03b4 and o pseudovirus variants. They also demonstrate that anti-CHI3L1 and the small molecule CHI3L1 inhibitor kasugamycin both inhibit the expression and accumulation of epithelial ACE2 and SPP and, in turn, inhibit epithelial infection by pseudoviruses that contain the \u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3, \u03b4 and o Spike proteins.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CHI3L1-FRG_SARS-CoV-2-infection.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"481\" height=\"279\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CHI3L1-FRG_SARS-CoV-2-infection.png 481w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/CHI3L1-FRG_SARS-CoV-2-infection-300x174.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><br \/>\nIt was demonstrated that CHI3L1 augmented Calu-3 cell ACE2 accumulation and delta pseudovirus infection, and also that <strong>FRG(anti-CHI3L1)<\/strong> abrogated the expression of ACE2 and delta pseudovirus infection.<\/p>\n<p>The similar anti-virus activity was observed also in the case of <strong>Kasugamycin<\/strong>.
