Finally, we substantiated that an elevated expression of NPC1L1 enhanced entry, whereas the depletion of NPC1L1 resulted in a diminished SARS-CoV-2 entry in HEK293T-ACE2 cells using authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus in contrast to their respective control cells. Collectively, these findings underscore...

The increased expression of miR-122 in B cells was confirmed in memory B cells from HCV patients (n ¼ 9). The higher miR-122 levels in memory B cells showed a positive correlation with higher cellular HCV RNA levels (r ¼ 0.67, Po0.05, t-test, Fig. 3g). In order to determine...
Furthermore, EZE decreased the expression of molecules involved in cholesterol uptake and synthesis, in parallel with increased apolipoprotein A-I-mediated cholesterol efflux and upregulation of efflux-effectors. However, NPC1L1 the other claimed molecular target of EZE, was not detected in macrophages...
Ezetimibe is known to inhibit cholesterol absorption by blocking the activity of Niemann-Pick C1 like 1 (NPC1L1) protein, and simvastatin is known to enhance NPC1L1 expression in the human body's small intestine. Collectively, our results support the possibility that cholesterol import by P. ...

Lowering cellular cholesterol levels may also reduce CD147 expression. Cholesterol removal also impairs fusion of the virus with the endosome/lysosome and processing of viral proteins in this compartment. Formation of double-membrane vesicles essential for viral replication is impaired. In the ER–Golgi...
