The positive cases of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in Indonesia has been increasing rapidly since the first case found in March 2020 to date. Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus disrupts human normal immune system resulting in uncontrolled inflammatory response. Based on our research and experience in doing cell therapy for 9 years, activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) produces anti-inflammatory effects in inflammatory condition that is beneficial for tissue regeneration. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (aaPRP) and the outcomes for treating severe Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
PRP decreases IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα inflammatory genes expression while also reduces IL-1β and TNFα inflammatory cytokines production. PRP has also been showed to contain interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), an anti-inflammatory cytokines that suppress IL-6 secretion.
