From: Dodging COVID-19 infection: low expression and localization of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in multiple donor-derived lines of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells

ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expression in human lung-derived tissue, primary human bronchial epithelial cells HBEpC, human pulmonary alveolar type 1 cells (AT1), and hUC-MSCs on qPCR. The relative expression of the genes of interest was normalized to the expression of PPIA. Human lung RNA, AT1 and HBEpC were used as controls (tissue and single cells). The expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 was significantly lower in hUC-MSCs compared to human lung tissue (P ≤ 0.001* for both), and the coefficient of variance of TMPRSS2 was 69.54%
