In conclusion, NRF2 agonists 4-OI and DMF induce a distinct IFN-independent antiviral program that is broadly effective in limiting virus replication and suppressing the pro-inflammatory responses of human pathogenic viruses, including SARS-CoV2. Here we demonstrate that expression of NRF2-dependent genes is suppressed in biopsies from 104 COVID-19 patients and that treatment of cells with NRF2 agonists 4-OI and DMF induces a 105 strong anti-viral program that limits SARS-CoV2 replication. Interestingly, when 176 treating Calu3 cells with DMF, another known NRF2 inducer and a clinically approved drug in 177 the first-line-of treatment of multiple sclerosis, we could also observe an anti-viral effect toward 178 SARS-CoV2 replication similar in magnitude as what we had observed with 4-OI (Fig 2p-q) as 179 well as a reduced but significant effect when using Vero cells (Fig. 2r) . ./cache/cord-322942-y4zd2oui.txt ./txt/cord-322942-y4zd2oui.txt
