Luciferase assay for the putative promoter of ACE2 in HEK293T and A549 cells. Two constructs representing rs2106809 genotype GG and genotype AA harbored in the promoter region (∼1.33kb; chrX: 15 599 868–15 601 196; hg38) were, respectively, inserted into the pGL3-Basic vector and then transfected into HEK293T and A549 cells separately. A Renilla luciferase vector was co-transfected as an internal control. The luciferase activity was measured at 24 h post transfection. The ratio of firefly to Renilla bioluminescence is presented as the mean + SD of triplicated transfection in one representative experiment (*: p < 0.05).
