Abstract in Portuguese
Passados dois anos do início da pandemia de COVID-19, estudos apontam que a doença pode acarretar sintomas sistêmicos no corpo humano. Além da sintomatologia clássica respiratória, a patologia vem sendo associada a disfunções cardiovasculares, metabólicas e neurológicas. Os sinais de acometimento do Sistema Nervoso Central costumam surgir durante a fase aguda da infecção, todavia, a persistência dos sintomas neurológicos, além do desencadeamento de distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos após a resolução do quadro, vem chamando atenção de médicos e pesquisadores. Nota-se, portanto, a importância da melhor elucidação do neurotropismo e do potencial de neuroinvasividade do SARS-CoV-2, bem da busca por fármacos que ofereçam a neuroproteção contra danos neurológicos a longo prazo relacionados com a doença. O presente estudo investigou a neuroinvasividade do SARS-CoV-2 em amostras post-mortem de via olfatória de pacientes falecidos em decorrência de COVID-19 e, posteriormente, observou os efeitos do canabidiol em células de neuroblastoma humano (SH-SY5Y) infectadas pelo novo coronavírus. As amostras de pacientes foram submetidas aos ensaios de RT-PCR e de imunofluorescência, para a detecção da expressão de SARS-CoV-2. Foram também avaliadas quanto à expressão de citocinas inflamatórias, por meio de ensaios de RT-PCR e Dot Blot, que demonstraram a expressão de fatores inflamatórios tanto em amostras positivas, quanto em negativas para a expressão gênica de SARS-CoV-2. Células SH-SY5Y foram empregadas para um modelo in vitro de neuroinfecção por SARS-CoV-2 e tratadas com concentrações de 100 nM, 300nM, 1uM, 3uM e 10uM de CBD. Foram submetidas a ensaios de RT-PCR, viabilidade e proliferação celular. Os resultados sugerem que o CBD não exerça efeito virucida relevante, porém, na concentração de 1uM, apresentou efeito pró-neurogênico. Os resultados sugerem que o CBD exerça efeito neuroprotetor sobre a linhagem celular testada em presença de SARSCoV-2.

Abstract in English
Two years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, studies have shown that the disease can be related to systemic symptoms in the human body. In addition to the classic respiratory symptoms, the pathology has been associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological disorders. The signs of Central Nervous System involvement usually appear during acute infection, however, the persistence of some neurological symptoms and the triggering of neuropsychiatric disorders after the cure have alarmed physicians and researchers. Therefore, it is important to better elucidate the neurotropism and neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV- 2, as well as the search for drugs that offer neuroprotection against long-term neurological damage related to the disease. The present study investigated the neuroinvasiveness of SARSCoV- 2 in post-mortem olfactory samples from patients who died as a result of COVID-19 and, subsequently, observed the effects of cannabidiol on human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) infected by the new coronavirus. Patient samples were subjected to RT-PCR and immunofluorescence assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 expression. They were also evaluated for the expression of inflammatory cytokines in RT-PCR and Dot Blot assays, which demonstrated the expression of inflammatory factors in both positive and negative samples for SARS-CoV-2 gene expression. SH-SY5Y cells were employed for an in vitro model of SARS-CoV-2 neuroinfection and treated with concentrations of 100nM, 300nM, 1uM, 3uM, and 10uM of CBD. They were submitted to RT-PCR, viability, and cell proliferation assays. The results suggest that CBD does not exert a relevant virucidal effect, however, at a concentration of 1uM, it showed a pro-neurogenic effect. The results suggest that CBD exerts a neuroprotective effect on the cell line tested in the presence of SARS-CoV-2.
