Cigarette Smoke Preferentially Induces Full Length ACE2 Expression in Differentiated Primary Human Airway Cultures But Does Not Alter Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 Infection
2022-10-06
Abstract excerpt
Cigarette smoking has many serious negative health consequences. The relationship between smoking and SARS-CoV-2 infection is controversial, specifically whether smokers are at increased risk of infection. We investigated the impact of cigarette smoke on ACE2 isoform expression and SARS-CoV-2 infection in differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cells at the air-liquid-interface (ALI). We assessed the exp...
