IL6 and COVID-19: Estimated expression levels of target genes and proteins in the blood of patients with COVID-19 in this study (NEAT-1, miR374b-5p, and IL6), together with the previously reported role of NEAT-1 and IL6 in the development of cytokine storms, and the recently reported function of miR374b-5p in inhibiting viral replication, may set the foundations for new therapeutic regimens.
