In the Age of CoVID: Genomic Changes Over the Lifespan Help Explain Severe SARS-CoV-2 Disease 2020-10-23 .txt text/plain 615 47 62 Because additional receptor interactions have been implicated in host cell invasion by previous coronaviruses, other receptors have been investigated for their potential role in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Previous studies have also The potential entry gene BSG was found to be in higher abundance in cardiorenal tissues than in the lung, though it was well expressed in all tissues examined. This is in contrast to ACE2, which was found to be expressed at low levels in lung, but higher levels in cardiorenal tissues (kidney, heart and blood vessels) across the individuals examined. Taken together, this could explain the higher levels of viral replication in lung tissue for SARS-CoV-2, even if the receptor itself is not highly expressed. Males also had an increased expression of BSG, PPIA, PPIB in endothelial cells, and higher levels of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in the coronary artery.
