COVID-19 has prominent neurological manifestations including psychiatric symptoms, indicating significant synaptic pathology. Surprisingly, existing evidence suggests negligible expression of the key SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry mediators ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in human brain, which complicates understanding of the pathomechanisms of the neuropsychiatric manifestations in COVID-19. Recent studies suggested that an alternative host-cell entry receptor, NRP1, can mediate entry of furin cleaved SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins into the host cells. However, the role of NRP1 and furin in mediating SARS-CoV-2 entry in human brain cells has been least explored and remains a lacuna in the literature. We performed an in silico analysis of the transcriptomic and proteomic expressions of SARS-CoV-2 host-cell entry receptors and associated tissue proteases in human brain tissue, using the publically available databases. Based on the expression analysis, SARS-CoV-2 entry in human brain cells is likely to be mediated through NRP1 and furin.
