Title: Single-cell Analysis of ACE2 Expression in Human Kidneys and Bladders Reveals a Potential Route of 2019-nCoV Infection
  • Document date: 2020_2_18

    Snippet: Based on bioinformatics analyses, it has been shown that 2019-nCoV genome is 88% identical with two bat-derived severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronaviruses (bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21), 79% with SARS-CoV, and 50% with MERS- Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) has been extensively applied in 2019-nCoV research, due to its capability to profile gene expressions for all cell types in multiple tissues unbiasedly at a high r.....
    Document: Based on bioinformatics analyses, it has been shown that 2019-nCoV genome is 88% identical with two bat-derived severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronaviruses (bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21), 79% with SARS-CoV, and 50% with MERS- Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) has been extensively applied in 2019-nCoV research, due to its capability to profile gene expressions for all cell types in multiple tissues unbiasedly at a high resolution. In addition to well-known alveolar type 2 cells in lung, expression of ACE2 has also been investigated in liver cholangiocytes, esophagus epithelial cells and absorptive enterocytes of ileum and colon by scRNA-Seq [11] [12] [13] . These results demonstrated the potential utility of scRNA-Seq to unmask the potential target cell types of 2019-nCoV. Since the urinary system infection and its potential aftermath could be essential to the patient care during and after the infection, here we used two scRNA-Seq transcriptome data in healthy kidneys and one dataset in heathy bladders to investigate the expression patterns of cell types in the urinary system.
