Increased Colonic Expression of ACE2 Associates with Poor Prognosis in Crohn’s disease
2020-11-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background and Aims</h4> The host receptor for SARS-CoV-2, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), is highly expressed in small intestine. Our aim was to study colonic ACE2 expression in Crohn’s disease (CD) and non-inflammatory bowel disease (non-IBD) controls. We hypothesized that the colonic expression levels of ACE2 impacts CD course. <h4>Methods</h4> We examined the expression of colon ACE2 using RNA-s...
