IL10RB as a key regulator of COVID-19 host susceptibility and severity

Abstract: Background Recent efforts have identified genetic loci that are associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection rates and disease outcome severity. Translating these genetic findings into druggable genes and readily available compounds that reduce COVID-19 host susceptibility is a critical next step. Methods We integrate COVID-19 genetic susceptibility variants, multi-tissue genetically regulated gene expression (GReX) and perturbargen signatures to identify candidate genes and compounds that rev… Show more

“…Reduced expression of IFNAR2 in immune cells has been shown to be associated with a higher risk of COVID-19, likely due to impaired interferon signaling in the blood ( 34 ). IL10RB codes for IL-10 receptor beta, and its expression correlates with the severity of COVID-19 disease ( 35 ).…”

“…Hence, patients with hyperinflammation are often placed on immunosuppression, immunomodulation, and selective cytokine blocking drugs to improve their outcome [ 32 , 38 , 39 ]. Additionally, interleukin 10 receptor, IL10RB, was identified to be significant to patients’ severity and has been previously noted as a regulator of host susceptibility to COVID-19 severity and potential drug target [ 40 , 41 ].…”
