Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic non-specific intestinal disease, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), and many of these patients have anxiety [3] . Analysis of the transcriptome data of these samples, we found that the expression of ACE2 in the terminal ileum was significantly higher than that in the rectal colon, with a fold change of 9.8 times (P < 0.001). The expression of ACE2 in the UC rectum was not significantly higher than that in non-IBD. In the terminal ileum of CD, ACE2 expression was also not higher than that of non-IBD. These results indicate that the expression of ACE2 does not show a significant difference between IBD and non-IBD patients. Compared with non-IBD, there was no significant difference in TMPRSS2 expression in the rectum and terminal ileum of patients with IBD. ./cache/cord-288014-rrr4x755.txt ./txt/cord-288014-rrr4x755.txt
