Genes differentially expressed in blood 22 , lung NHBE/A549 23 or human small intestinal organoids 24 (hSIO) following SARS-CoV-2 infection; IBD inflammation; or response to medications were separately projected onto various BGRNs allowing for 1 or 2 nearest neighbors depending on the signature sizes. The expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 was similar when comparing active smokers to non-smokers, either between healthy controls or IBD patients (data not shown) and no significant interactions with inflammation status, region or other covariates were found. We observed that genes: up-regulated with inflammation, or positively associated with macroscopic or microscopic measures of disease, or associated with the risk of IBD, were significantly enriched with genes up-regulated by SARS-CoV2 infection of lung epithelial cells ( Figure S10e ). ./cache/cord-275199-y7b12vml.txt ./txt/cord-275199-y7b12vml.txt
