Figure Legend Snippet: Schematic overview of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug screening procedure. ( a ) ACE2 targeted inhibitors and compounds from the natural product library were applied prior to infection with SARS-CoV-2 (pre-infection treatment) while compounds from the FDA-approved library and the flavonoid library were applied post infection (post- infection treatment). Out of 2191 compounds tested, 121 displayed viral CPE reductions and 7 were selected for further validations using Vero E6 and HuH7 cell lines and hNEC. ( b ) Uninfected cells, infected cells treated with 0.1% DMSO, and infected cells treated with remdesivir were included as controls in the screen. Following treatment with citicoline, pravastatin sodium, tenofovir alafenamide, imatinib mesylate, calcitriol, dexlansoprazole, and prochlorperazine dimaleate, reduced CPE was observed when compared to the DMSO control.

Figure Legend Snippet: Validation of primary hits. For validating compounds with activity pre-infection, Vero E6 cells were first pre-treated with increasing concentrations of ( a ) citicoline, ( b ) pravastatin sodium and ( c ) tenofovir alafenamide prior to infection with SARS-CoV-2. Similarly, Huh7 cells were pre-treated with ( d ) citicoline, ( e ) pravastatin sodium and ( f ) tenofovir alafenamide and subsequently infected with SARS-CoV-2. For post-infection treatment validation, Vero E6 cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2 and treated with increasing concentrations of ( g ) imatinib mesylate, ( h ) calcitriol, ( i ) dexlansoprazole and ( j ) prochlorperazine dimaleate. Similarly, HuH7 cells were also infected then treated with a range of concentrations of ( k ) imatinib mesylate, ( l ) calcitriol, ( m ) dexlansoprazole and ( n ) prochlorperazine dimaleate. The primary and secondary exes correspond to the viral titre and relative cell viability, and the dashed line represents the CC 50 cut-off for cell viability. One-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s post-test were used to determine statistical differences, with * denoting p < 0.05, ** denoting p < 0.01 and *** denoting p < 0.001. Error bars represent the standard deviation observed from the means of triplicates performed for both cell viability and dose-dependent inhibition studies.
Techniques Used: Biomarker Discovery, Activity Assay, Infection, Standard Deviation, Inhibition
Figure Legend Snippet: Validation of primary hits in hNECs. Selected primary hits were further validated in hNECs. Cells were either pre-treated with 10 μM citicoline prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection or treated following SARS-CoV-2 infection with 10 μM imatinib mesylate and 10 μM calcitriol. One-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s post-test were used to determine statistical differences, with ** denoting that p < 0.01. Error bars represent the standard deviation observed from the means of triplicates performed for dose-dependent inhibition studies.
Techniques Used: Biomarker Discovery, Infection, Standard Deviation, Inhibition
Figure Legend Snippet: SARS-CoV-2 and calcitriol modulate vitamin D Receptor (VDR), 24-hydroxylase (24(OH)ase), and cathelicidin (LL-37) in Vero E6 and Huh7 cells. In the first part of the experiment, Vero E6 and Huh7 cells were either mock-infected with media, or SARS-CoV-2 infected and harvested at indicated timepoints in the absence of calcitriol for baseline VDR, 24(OH)ase, and LL-37 mRNA expression. Vero E6 expression of ( a ) VDR, ( b ) 24(OH)ase and ( c ) LL-37 and Huh7 expression of ( d ) VDR, ( e ) 24(OH)ase and ( f ) LL-37 were as shown. In the second part of the experiment, Vero E6 and Huh7 cells were either mock-infected with media or SARS-CoV-2 for 1 h as above, then treated with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 or 20 µM calcitriol following infection. At 48 h post infection, the cells were harvested to check for VDR, 24(OH)ase, and LL-37 mRNA expression. Vero E6 mRNA expression of ( g ) VDR, ( i ) 24(OH)ase and ( k ) LL-37 and Huh7 expression of ( h ) VDR, ( j ) 24(OH)ase and ( l ) LL-37 were as shown. Data are represented as relative quantity to 0.1% DMSO control, or as relative quantity to mock-infected control. One-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s post-test and paired t -test were used to determine statistical differences, with * denoting p < 0.05, ** denoting p < 0.01 and *** denoting p < 0.001. Error bars represent the standard deviation observed from the means of triplicates performed for mRNA expression studies.

After 1 h post-infection, the cells are then either untreated (−) or treated (+) with 20 µM calcitriol for 6-, 24- and 48- hours before harvesting of total cell lysate. ( b ) Densitometry quantitation of protein expression levels is shown as fold changes to beta-actin. Full-length blots are shown in .

Figure Legend Snippet: In vivo study of calcitriol treatment. 8-week old K18-hACE2 male and female mice were separated into treatment and non-treatment groups. Treatment study group has been given 3 days pre-treatment and 5 days post-treatment of calcitriol (5 μg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection. The non-treatment group has been given a PBS as a treatment control. Next, 10 3 PFU of SARS-CoV-2 (L, Alpha, and Beta variants) were inoculated through intranasal delivery to all groups after pre-treatment. Physiological parameters: body weight ( a – c ), survival rate ( d – f ), and physiological conditions were monitored after infections. For comparison between individual physiological conditions, 5 dpi infected mice were compared between treatment groups of all three variant infected mice ( g – i ). Scoring of physiological conditions was based on five criteria: appearance of the mouse coat, level of consciousness, activity level, eye condition, and respiratory quality. To compare the severity of damage in mouse tissues after infection, left lung lobes from 4 dpi mice were processed for histological analyses and scored based on six criteria to determine severity ( j – l ). The six criteria are inflammatory cell infiltration, haemorrhage, oedema, bronchial epithelial cell damage, degeneration of alveolar epithelial cells, and parenchymal wall expansion. For viral load determination, right lung, brain, liver, and spleen tissues from the same 4 dpi mice were harvested and homogenised for virus titration ( m – o ). Data is not shown for liver and spleen tissues. Statistical significance is determined with a two-tailed unpaired t -test, with * denoting p < 0.05. Survival group: variant L: n = 6 (treatment and no treatment); Alpha: n = 6 (treatment), n = 4 (no treatment); Beta: n = 6 (treatment), n = 5 (no treatment). 4 dpi group: variant L: n = 7 (treatment and no treatment); Alpha and Beta: n = 5 each (treatment and no treatment). Mock infection, n = 3.
