To elucidate the MR proteins mediating SARS-CoV2-induced host-cell phenotypic transition, we analyzed publicly available single cell (scRNASeq) profiles of SARS-CoV-2 infected epithelial cells (Supplementary Table 1), including epithelial cell lines from both lung adenocarcinoma (Calu-3 and H1299)18, and gastrointestinal organoid models from the ileum and colon19. This evidence concerns the gene NR3C2 and lung adenocarcinoma.
