JAK inhibitors dampen activation of interferon-stimulated transcription of ACE2 isoforms in human airway epithelial cells

Hye Kyung Lee et al. identify additional candidate enhancers linked to the ACE2 promoters producing biologically active ACE2, the receptor for SARS-CoV-2. They also demonstrate JAK inhibitors suppress the interferon-induced genetic programs, including ACE2 expression, in human airway epithelial cell...
