SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is still spreading over the world. Several studies have shown that diabetes is associated with a more severe form of COVID-19 as well as higher mortality. Musculoskeletal manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infections include loss of muscle mass, muscle weakness, fatigue or myalgia, and muscle injury. While the molecular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 can cause damage to skeletal muscle (SkM) cells are not yet well understood. In the current study, we retrospectively analyzed the serological examination of patients during the epidemic period, and perform experiments of skeletal muscle injury in vivo and in vitro with spike protein, which is the surface protein of SARSCoV- 2. The results will be conducive to the formulation of effective treatment strategies.
