The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the deadliest in recent decades, and understanding the role of cell signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of this infection could be helpful in finding effective drugs. The mTOR pathway plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth, protein synthesis, and metabolism, and there is potential therapeutic use of mTOR inhibitors against COVID-19.
The current COVID-19 is one of the deadliest pandemics in recent decades. In the lack of a specific treatment for this novel infection, knowing the role of cell signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of this infection could be useful in finding effective drugs against this disease. The mammalian or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is an important cell signaling pathway that has important role in the regulation of cell growth, protein synthesis, and metabolism in reactance to upstream signals in both pathological and normal physiological conditions. Recently, some researchers have suggested the therapeutic potential of mTOR inhibitors such as rapamycin against COVID-19. However, it is important to consider the role of activation of this pathway in controlling immune system response against viral activity in drug repositioning of rapamycin and other mTOR inhibitors in SARS-CoV-2 infection.
