해당 논문에 의하면, COVID-19에 대한 Timbetasin 예측효과로써 섬유소 용해를 증가시켜 COVID-19에 관련된 응고 장애를 줄일 수 있는 것으로 언급하였습니다 (TB4 is down-regulated by Covid 130 fold).

Although not the focus of the present study, coagulopathy is commonly reported in cases of COVID- 19 (The Lancet Haematology, 2020), and there are suggestions in the literature of links between RAS and coagulopathy. The Ang1-9 peptide that is increased in COVID-19 BAL stimulates hrombosis by inhibiting fibrinolysis (Mogielnicki et al., 2014). In addition to BK, ACE also degrades the antifibrotic peptide N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (AcSDKP), which is produced from thy- mosin beta-4 (TMSB4X, -130 fold) (Kanasaki, 2020). Increased fibrinolysis could therefore be achieved by increasing ACE, or by administering thymosin beta-4, which is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders (Timbetasin). If TMSB4X is, in fact, protective, it could explain the lower incidence of COVID-19 induced mortality in women (Jin et al., 2020) because it is found on the X chromosome and escapes X-inactivation. Women therefore would have twice the lev-els of this protein than men, which is supported by our BAL analysis (-207 fold in males, -131 fold in females).
