Diverse pro-inflammatory ability of mutated spike protein derived from variant strains of SARS-CoV-2

The severity of COVID-19 has been reported to differ among SARS-CoV-2 mutant variants. The overactivation of macrophages is involved in severe COVID-19, yet the effects of SARS-CoV-2 mutations on macrophages remain poorly understood. To clarify the effects, we examined whether mutations of spike proteins (S-proteins) affect macrophage activation. CD14+ monocyte-derived macrophages were stimulated with the recombinant S-protein of the wild-type, Delta, and Omicron strains or live viral particles of individual strains. Regarding IL-6 and TNF-α, Delta or Omicron S-protein had stronger or weaker pro‑inflammatory ability, respectively, than the wild-type. Similar trends were observed between S-proteins and viral particles. S-protein mutations could be related to the diversity in macrophage activation and severity rates in COVID-19 caused by various SARS-CoV-2 strains.
