Epidemiological data showing increased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in men suggests a potential role for androgen in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we present evidence for the transcriptional regulation of SARS-CoV-2 host cell receptor ACE2 and TMPRSS2 by androgen in mouse and human cells. Additionally, we demonstrate the endogenous interaction between TMPRSS2 and ACE2 in human cells and validate ACE2 as a TMPRSS2 substrate. Furthermore, camostat—a TMPRSS2 inhibitor—blocked the cleavage of pseudotype SARS-CoV-2 surface Spike without disrupting TMPRSS2-ACE2 interaction, thus providing evidence for the first time of a direct role of TMPRSS2 in priming the SARS-CoV-2 Spike, required for viral fusion to the host cell. Importantly, androgen-deprivation, anti-androgens, or camostat attenuated the SARS-CoV-2 S-mediated cellular entry. Together, our data provide a strong rationale for clinical evaluations of TMPRSS2 inhibitors and androgen-deprivation therapy/androgen receptor antagonists alone or in combination with antiviral drugs as early as clinically possible to prevent COVID-19 progression. Androgen regulates the expression of SARS-Cov-2 receptor ACE2 and TMPRSS2 TMPRSS2 interacts with ACE2 in prostate and lung cells Camostat blocks TMPRSS2-mediated cleavage of SARS-Cov-2 Spike Androgen deprivation or AR antagonists attenuate SARS-CoV-2 Spike-mediated cell entry Biological Sciences; Molecular Biology; Virology
