Although virus entry protein ACE2 has low expression in NHBE cells, pathogen response pathways are strongly activated within 24 hours of infection. Upregulated MMPs and chemokines demonstrate the response generated by NHBE cells to trigger the immune system, these two subgroups of genes are further discussed below comparatively in SARS-CoV-2 and H1N1 infection. Interestingly, none of the IL-17 ligands were expressed in detectable amounts in NHBE cells, and none of the ligands or receptors were upregulated in response to virus infection, therefore the positive feedback loop is likely to be initiated by activation of NFκB via other signalling pathways. ./cache/cord-304544-tqtdjh2m.txt ./txt/cord-304544-tqtdjh2m.txt
