Single cell RNA sequencing of 13 human tissues identify cell types and receptors of human coronaviruses

(Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 19 March)

• ACE2 is expressed in lung, liver, stomach, ileum, kidney and colon.
• ANPEP, DPP4 and ENPEP were identified as the candidate co-receptors, showing the most similar expression patterns with ACE2
• Methods: single cell gene expression atlas including 119 cell types of 13 human tissues: GEO or Human Cell Atlas
• Analyzed 51 reported RNA virus receptors
• ANPEP and DPP4 known receptors for human CoVs
