The roles played by hsa-miR-223-5p and mutations in the <i>S</i> gene of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19
Increased hsa-miR-223-5p may be a main cause for the downregulation of IL-2Rα, which is a main developer of T-regulatory lymphocytes. The mutations in the S gene of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients may affect immune responses to the molecule and alter the avidity of virus-human cell interactions.
