Enoxaparin improves COVID-19 by reducing Neutrophils Extracellular Traps (NETs) production

COVID-19 causes consequences such as imbalance of the immune system and thrombotic events. During the infection process, NETs in excess induce a pro-inflammatory response and disseminated intravascular coagulation. We evaluated the role of enoxaparin as a potential inhibitor of NETs.

Shrnutí:COVID-19 causes consequences such as imbalance of the immune system and thrombotic events. During the infection process, NETs in excess induce a pro-inflammatory response and disseminated intravascular coagulation. We evaluated the role of enoxaparin as a potential inhibitor of NETs. K18-hACE2 animals infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and a group of 23 individuals admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 treated with enoxaparin or without treatment and controls without the disease were included. Enoxaparin decreased the levels of NETs, reduced the signs of the disease and mitigated lung damage in the animals infected with SARS-CoV-2. These effects were partially associated with prevention of SARS-CoV-2 entry and NETs synthesis. Clinical data revealed that treatment with enoxaparin decreased the levels of inflammatory markers, the levels of NETs in isolated neutrophils and the organ dysfunction. This study provides evidence for the beneficial effects of enoxaparin in COVID-19 in addition to its anticoagulant role.
