Vascular endothelial growth factor A: friend or foe in the pathogenesis of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 infections? by Mieke A. van der Mescht, Helen C. Steel, Ronald Anderson, Theresa M. Rossouw

“…We then focus on SARS-CoV-2 infection and show how the binding of the viral pathogen to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor, as well as to NRP-1, leads to elevated levels of VEGF-A and consequences such as coagulation, vascular dysfunction, and inflammation. HIV infection augments angiogenesis via several mechanisms, most prominently, by the trans-activator of transcription (tat) protein mimicking VEGF-A by binding to its receptor, VEGFR-2, as well as upregulation of NRP-1, which enhances the interaction between VEGF-A and VEGFR-2. …”
