Innate immune responses. SARS-CoV-2, like the related 

SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus 

(MERS-CoV), is a single-stranded RNA virus. After entering a tar-

get cell, the virus is recognized by pattern recognition receptors such 

as Toll-like receptors 3, 7, 8 and 9 and viral-infection sensors RIG-I 

and MDA5 (ref

), and viral recognition induces the type I inter-

feron (IFN) response program and IFN-stimulated genes


 (Fig. 

). 

The TLR3 response triggers transcription of the NLR family pyrin 



domain containing 3 (

NLRP3

) gene, which together with other cel-

lular responses to viral infection—such as the formation of reactive 

oxidative species, calcium flux from cytoplasmic storages, protein 

aggregation and the release of danger-associated patterns—contrib-

utes to the activation of the NLRP3 inflamasom


inflammasome complexes. The NLRP3 inflammasome induces 

caspase-1-dependent cleavage and release of key proinflammatory 

cytokines interleukin-1

β

 (IL-1


β

) and IL-18, and triggers gasdermin 

D-mediated pyroptotic cell death. The extent of NLRP3 activation 

correlates with COVID-19 disease severit

 (Fig

pyroptotic cell death, the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is 

released. Elevated LDH levels have been observed in the blood of 

patients with COVID-19, and levels of this enzyme correlate with 

disease severit

. Together, these data suggest that inflammasome 

activation is an important feature of COVID-19 (ref

) (Fig. 

). 

This pathway also triggers the coagulation cascade, for example 



via the extracellular release of gasder

, and coagulopathy 

and severe thrombotic events are common in patients with severe 

COVID-19 (ref. 


). A similar activation of the coagulation cascade 

and elevated LDH levels are also seen in patients with MIS-C

, but 


not in patients with long COVID

underlying pathogenesis.



A characteristic feature of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV viruses 

is their ability to inhibit and delay the induction of type I IFN by 

infected cells, which contributes to the immunopathology associ-

ated with such infection

,

type I IFN responses in infected cells, leading to delayed or overall 

suppressed type I IFN respons
cate and induce more tissue damage, and triggers a more exuber-

ant immune response as the immune system struggles to limit viral 

replication and to manage dying and dead cells. Immune pathol-

ogy continues as inflammatory cells flow into the lung and produce 

large amounts of proinflammatory cytokines, further escalating the 

situation (Fig

). Such imbalanced immune responses, caused in 

part by the impaired early type I IFN responses, are the most likely 

determinant of the overall severity of acute COVID-19 (refs. 




).  

This is further emphasized by recent results from the COVID 

Human Genetic Effort

 (

https://www.covidhge.com/



), which 

found that inborn errors in the type I IFN pathwa

, or the pres-

ence of neutralizing autoantibodies to type I IFN

, were strongly 

over-represented among individuals who developed life-threatening 

COVID-19. Whether imbalanced or impaired innate responses also 

contribute to the development of other disease manifestations such 

as MIS-C and long COVID remains to be determined.
