An iTSC-derived placental model of SARS-CoV-2 infection reveals ACE2-dependent susceptibility in syncytiotrophoblasts


ABSTRACT: We have developed an in vitro model of SARS-CoV-2 infection of placental cell types using induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs). This model allowed us to show that STs but not EVTs are infected. Importantly, infected STs lack the expression of key differentiation genes, lack typically observed differentiated morphology and produce significantly lower human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) compared to non-infected controls. We also show that an anti-ACE2 antibody prevents SARS-CoV-2 infection and restores normal ST differentiation and function. We highlight the establishment of a platform to study SARS-CoV-2 infection in early placental cell types, which will facilitate investigation of antiviral therapy to protect the placenta during early pregnancy and development.
