Potential contributions of the representative DE-miRNAs to the pathogenesis of COVID-19

Representative miRNAs, which were associated with immune responses, virus infections, and lung diseases, were selected from the five compared groups (COV vs HC, AS vs HC, SM vs AS, SD vs MD, and LTNP vs STNP) to help understand the pathogenesis of COVID-19. COV, SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals; HC, Healthy controls; AS, Asymptomatic infection; SM, Symptomatic infection; MD, Moderate disease; SD, Severe disease; LTNP, Long-term nucleic acid test positive; STNP, Short-term nucleic acid test positive.
