Assessment of the small airway epithelia of healthy nonsmokers (n = 20; white circles) and smokers (n = 23; gray circles) for expression of genes that may be relevant to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. See text for details regarding the possible relevance of these genes to small airway epithelia infection by SARS-CoV-2. Quantification was by RNA sequencing (Illumina HiSeq 2500). A one-way ANOVA was used for analysis. (A) ADAM10. (B) ADAM17. (C) TMPRSS2. (D) TMPRSS11A. (E) TMPRSS11D. (F) FURIN. (G) CTSL. (H) PI4KB. **P < 0.01. FPKM = fragments per kilobase of exon per million fragments sequenced; NS = nonsignificant.
