Strikingly, pathways associated with virus infection, inflammation and cytokine signaling were upregulated in six potential SARS-CoV-2 entry genes enriched cells (Fig. 1a) . Given that IL-6 and TNF pathways were upregulated in six potential SARS-CoV-2 entry genes enriched cells (Fig. 1a) , we compared the IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels in peripheral blood from mild (n = 102) and severe (n = 50) COVID-19 pneumonia patients Table S3 ). Here, we first proved that the six SARS-CoV-2 entry genes, including ACE2 and TMPRSS2, are expressed in the colon epithelial cells of Chinese adults. In a word, the expression of additional five SARS-CoV-2 entry genes, virus infection, and inflammatory pathways are significantly enriched in colon epithelia cells with ACE2-positive expression. ./cache/cord-282045-pf08iakf.txt ./txt/cord-282045-pf08iakf.txt
