Expression level of the eight genes involved in the SARS-CoV-2 entry into the host cell and infection. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to analyze the distribution of expression data. Mann-Whitney test was used for data analysis. Expression data (2−ΔCt) are represented as mean and range. A) Expression level of ACE2 gene in nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs of COVID-19 vs negative patients (FC = +1.88, p ≤ 0.05); H) Expression level of DPP4 gene in nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs of COVID-19 vs negative patients (FC = +3.0; p < 0.01); B-G) Expression level of TMPRSS2, PCSK3, EMILIN1, EMILIN2, MMRN1, MMRN2 genes in nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs of COVID-19 vs negative patients.
