The pathology of severe COVID-19 is due to a hyperinflammatory immune response persisting after viral clearance. To understand how the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 is regulated to avoid severe COVID-19, we tested relevant immunoregulatory cytokines. TGF-{beta}, IL-10 and IL-4 were neutralized upon infection with mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 (CMA3p20), a model of mild disease; and lung inflammation was quantified by histology and flow cytometry at early and late time points. Mild weight loss, and lung inflammation including consolidation and alveolar thickening were evident 3 days post-infection (dpi) and inflammation persisted to 7 dpi. Coinciding with early monocytic infiltrates, CCL2 and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) were transiently produced 3 dpi, while IL-12 and CCL5 persisted to 7 dpi, modeling viral and inflammatory phases of disease. Neutralization of TGF-{beta}, but not IL-10 or IL-4, significantly increased lung inflammatory monocytes and elevated serum but not lung IL-6. Neutralization of IL-4 prolonged weight loss and increased early perivascular infiltration without changing viral titer. Anti-IL-4 reduced expression of Arg1, a gene associated with alternative activation of macrophages. Neutralizing TGF-{beta} and IL-4 had differential effects on pathology after virus control. Lung perivascular infiltration was reduced 7 dpi by neutralization of IL-4 or TGF-{beta}, and peri-airway inflammation was affected by anti-TGF-{beta}, while alveolar infiltrates were not affected by either. Anti-IL-4 prolonged IL-12 to 7 dpi along with reduced IL-10 in lungs. Overall, the immunoregulatory cytokines TGF-{beta} and IL-4 dampen initial inflammation in this maSARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting that promotion of immunoregulation could help patients in early stages of disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
