While this agrees with the p62 decrease in SARS-CoV-2-infected lung adenocarcinoma Calu3 cells [24], it should be noted that SARS-CoV-2 infection did not affect or even increased p62 levels in monkey kidney epithelial cell line Vero E6 and cervical cancer cell line HeLa [49,52,53,54,55]. This evidence concerns the gene SQSTM1 and cervical cancer.
