Fig. 2: ACE2 and MIRb-ACE2 isoform expression in cancer and healthy tissues.

a, ACE2 and MIRb-ACE2 isoform expression in LUAD samples (left) and ratio of the two isoforms in female (F; n = 225) and male (M; n = 161) samples (right). b, ACE2 and MIRb-ACE2 isoform expression in LUSC samples and ratio of the two isoforms (F, n = 100; M, n = 241). c, ACE2 and MIRb-ACE2 isoform expression in healthy lung samples and ratio of the two isoforms (F, n = 29; M, n = 54). d, ACE2 and MIRb-ACE2 isoform expression in healthy colon samples and ratio of the two isoforms (F, n = 18; M, n = 16). In a–d, each bar represents an individual sample. Box plots show the upper and lower quartiles, center lines show the median, whiskers represent 1.5× the interquartile range and individual points represent outliers. TPM, transcripts per million.
