The early rapid host responses were potentially attributed to the high efficiency of SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells, underscored by evidence of a remarkably up-regulated gene expression of TPRMSS2 soon after infection. In this study, we used the SARS-CoV-2 strain isolated from patients [11] to infect in vitro Calu-3 cells, and performed RNA sequencing to determine the time-series transcriptome profiling data of the host. Next, to gain possible explanations for the distinct patterns in host antiviral capacity and cytokine production during SARS-CoV-2 infection, dynamic expression of four types of key genes were evaluated, including virus receptors for cell entry, pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) for an innate immune startup, regulator genes for induction of antiviral-related genes and interferon production (Figure 4) . ./cache/cord-319447-xanewi59.txt ./txt/cord-319447-xanewi59.txt
