  • A
    Quantification of IRF5 and IFNB1 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of non‐diabetic (ND) and type 2 diabetic (T2D) COVID‐19 patients.
  • B
    Histograms of IRF5 expression on different populations analysed by flow cytometry on venous blood samples.
  • C
    IRF5 median fluorescence intensity (MFI) in monocytes of ND and T2D patients with COVID‐19.
  • D
    IRF5 expression overlaid onto monocyte phenotypic gating.
  • E
    IRF5 expression (MFI) in monocyte subtypes from ND and T2D COVID‐19 patients.
  • F
    HLA‐DR and IRF5 expression in monocytes from COVID‐19 patients.
  • G
    IRF5 expression in monocytes of ND or T2D COVID‐19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) or treated exclusively in general wards (Gen).
  • H
    IRF5 expression in monocytes of ND or T2D COVID‐19 patients admitted to the ICU or treated exclusively in Gen.
Data information: Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Differences between groups were evaluated with unpaired t‐test. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for multiple group comparisons. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. For correlative analysis, Spearman's test was carried out calculating a 2‐tailed P‐value. See also Appendix Fig S3. Sample size and exact P‐value in Appendix Table S5. Source data are available online for this figure.
