COVID-19 is characterized by a wide range of clinical manifestations, where aging, underlying diseases, and genetic background are related to worse outcomes. In the present study, the differential expression of seven genes related to immunity, , , , , , , and , was analyzed in individuals with COVID-19 diagnoses of different disease severities. Two-step RT-qPCR was performed to determine the relative gene expression in whole-blood samples from 160 individuals. The expression of ( < 0.05) and ( < 0.05) was higher in moderate hospitalized cases than in severe ones. Increased gene expression of (OR = 0.64, CI = 0.52-0.79; = 0.001), (OR = 0.581, CI = 0.43-0.79; = 0.001), and (OR = 0.544, CI = 0.39-0.69; < 0.001) was associated with a lower risk of requiring IMV. Moreover, (OR = 0.646, CI = 0.50-0.83; = 0.001), (OR = 0.57, CI = 0.39-0.83; = 0.003), (OR = 0.80, CI = 0.653-0.979; = 0.03), and (OR = 0.827, CI = 0.69-0.991; = 0.039) expression was associated with patient survival. In conclusion, the relevance of , , and in controlling the viral infection was confirmed.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的临床表现多种多样,衰老、基础疾病和遗传背景与较差的预后相关。在本研究中,分析了与免疫相关的七个基因在不同疾病严重程度 COVID-19 诊断个体中的差异表达。采用两步 RT-qPCR 法测定了 160 例个体全血样本中的相对基因表达。中度住院病例的 (<0.05)和 (<0.05)表达高于重度住院病例。基因表达增加的 (OR=0.64,CI=0.52-0.79;=0.001)、 (OR=0.581,CI=0.43-0.79;=0.001)和 (OR=0.544,CI=0.39-0.69;<0.001)与需要机械通气的风险降低相关。此外, (OR=0.646,CI=0.50-0.83;=0.001)、 (OR=0.57,CI=0.39-0.83;=0.003)、 (OR=0.80,CI=0.653-0.979;=0.03)和 (OR=0.827,CI=0.69-0.991;=0.039)的表达与患者生存相关。总之,证实了 、 、 和 在控制病毒感染中的相关性。
