RNA-seq Reveals the Increased Risk of Heart and Cardiovascular Disease by SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Pages 19 - 23
Abstract
As of late 2020, much is still unknown about the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, including what health risks could be present for current patients. We know that while being infected with the disease, patients are struck with many respiratory issues. However, little is known about the long-term effects COVID-19 survivors could be affected by. Using differential expression analysis, we identified several differentially expressed genes in COVID-19 positive patients that indicate an increase in the risk for heart disease in these patients - APOL3, KLF15, and CD163. These genes indicate an increase of risk for cardiovascular disease through increased apolipoprotein levels, decreased negative regulators for risk factors, and increased inflammation and infection.

The pathogenetic influence of smoking on SARS-CoV-2 infection: Integrative transcriptome and regulomics analysis of lung epithelial cells
AbstractCorona virus disease (COVID-19) has been emerged as pandemic infectious disease. The recent epidemiological data suggest that the smokers are more vulnerable to infection with COVID-19; however, the influence of smoking (SMK) on the COVID-19 ...
Highlights- Smoking increased the risk of COVID-19 patients complexity and mortality.
- The common differential express genes between smoking and COVID-19 were identified.
- Hub proteins and their regulators and drugs between SMK and COVID-19 were ...
RNA-Seq analysis reveals pluripotency-associated genes and their interaction networks in human embryonic stem cells
Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted
Highlights- Transcriptome profiles of human pluripotent and non-pluripotent samples were compared.
AbstractInsight into the key genes of pluripotency in human and their interrelationships is necessary for understanding the underlying mechanism of pluripotency and hence their successful application in regenerative medicine. The recent ...
Identifying molecular insight of synergistic complexities for SARS-CoV-2 infection with pre-existing type 2 diabetes
AbstractThe ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has posed a massive threat to global public health, especially to people with underlying health conditions. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is lethal comorbidity of COVID-19. However, its ...
Highlights- This study aims to explore the significant genetic contribution of SARS-CoV-2 infections to the mortality and severity of T2D patients.
