Core Tip The role of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains enigmatic. Novel insights involving interference of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and erythropoietin (EPO) levels support a detrimental role by RAS inhibitors in the elderly and in co-morbidities. Current pharmacological interventions in COVID-19 employing RAS inhibition should consider these complex but potentially detrimental miR-155 effects. Future research should address the knowledge gap on how RAS inhibition affects miR-155 while therapeutic strategies should focus on pharmacological interventions that restore EPO and miR-155 levels and functionality. The use of tissue specific miRNA-analogs could become a reality by then.
