A-C, ACE2, TMPRSS2, and furin gene expression in bronchial brush samples is not increased in patients with mild to moderate or severe asthma compared with healthy controls. D, There is a weak positive correlation between ACE2 gene expression and a TH17–dependent gene expression signature in bronchial brushes samples (healthy control and patients with asthma combined). E, There is a weak inverse correlation between ACE2 gene expression and a TH2-dependent gene expression signature in bronchial brushes samples (healthy control and patients with asthma combined).
