Susceptibility Analysis of COVID-19 in Smokers Based on ACE2

2020-03-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Cigarette smoking (CS) is a global public health problem and a high-risk factor for various diseases. In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (HCoV-19) was identified in Wuhan, China. Because ACE2 has been identified as a receptor for HCoV-19, we hypothesize that CS affects the expression pattern of ACE2 in respiratory tract, causing differences in susceptibility to the virus. <h4>Methods:</h4>...
