Background Rhinovirus (RV) is the most common pathogen involved in asthma, and COVID-
19, caused by SARS-COV-2, may be more severe in asthma patients. Here, we applied
integrated bioinformatics to identify potential key genes and cytokine pathways after RV
infection in asthma, and analyzed changes in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the
cellular receptor of SARS-COV-2.
Abstract
Background
Rhinovirus (RV) is the most common pathogen involved in asthma, and COVID-19, caused by SARS-COV-2, may be more severe in asthma patients. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to identify potential key genes and cytokine pathways after RV infection in asthma, and analyzed changes in angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the cellular receptor of SARS-COV-2.
