摘要

Whether risk genes of severe coronavirus disease 2019 from genome-wide association study could play their regulatory roles by interacting with host genes that were interacted with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 proteins was worthy of exploration. In this study, we implemented a network-based approach by developing a user-friendly software Network Calculator . By using Network Calculator, we identified a network composed of 13 risk genes and 28 SARS-CoV-2 interacted host genes ...更多

Whether risk genes of severe coronavirus disease 2019 from genome-wide association study could play their regulatory roles by interacting with host genes that were interacted with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 proteins was worthy of exploration. In this study, we implemented a network-based approach by developing a user-friendly software Network Calculator . By using Network Calculator, we identified a network composed of 13 risk genes and 28 SARS-CoV-2 interacted host genes that had the highest network proximity with each other, with a hub gene HNRNPK identified. Among these genes, 14 of them were identified to be differentially expressed in RNA-seq data from severe COVID-19 cases. Besides, by expression enrichment analysis in single-cell RNA-seq data, compared with mild COVID-19, these genes were significantly enriched in macrophage, T cell and epithelial cell for severe COVID-19. Meanwhile, 74 pathways were significantly enriched. Our analysis provided insights for the underlying genetic etiology of severe COVID-19 from the perspective of network biology.收起
