Expression of ACE2, TMPRSS2 and CTSL in human airway epithelial cells under physiological and pathological conditions: Implications for SARS-CoV-2 infection
2020-08-07
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 enters into human airway epithelial cells via membrane fusion or endocytosis, and this process is dependent on ACE2, TMPRSS2, and cathepsin L. In this study, we examined the expression profiles of the three SARS-CoV-2 entry-related genes in primary human airway epithelial cells isolated from donors with different physiological and pathological backgrounds such as smoking, COPD, asthma, lung cancer, alle...
