Abstract
Objective
To investigate the omics mechanism of SARS-related immune injury and predict targeted therapeutic drugs through clinical bioinformatics analysis of the transcriptome data of SARS virus in order to provide reference for clinical treatment of COVID-19.
Methods
The transcriptome data of SARA virus were collected from the Gene Expression Oibus (GEO) and used to screen differential genes. Enrichment analysis and protein interaction analysis were performed to investigate the mechanism of immune damage associated with SARS. A platform of epigenetics in precision medicine (EpiMed) was established to predict potential therapeutic drugs.
Results
The mechanism of SARS-related immune injury was complex, involving affecting the function of immune cells through signaling pathways such as Toll-like receptors, increasing cytokines in plasma through Th17 signaling pathway and inducing autoimmune responses after autoantibodies were generated by molecules such as IL-6, NF-κB, and TNF. Drugs such as Chuanqiong and Etanercept might have therapeutic effects on SARS-related immune damage.
Conclusions
SARS virus could cause abnormal expression of many immune-related molecules and signaling pathways. Drugs such as Chuanqiong and Etanercept might have therapeutic effects on SARS-related immune damage. This study might provide reference for clinical treatment of COVID-19.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology established in 1981. It is one of the series of journal sponsored by Chinese Medical Association. The aim of this journal is to spread and exchange the scientific achievements and practical experience in order to promote the development of medical microbiology and immunology. Its main contents comprise academic thesis, brief reports, reviews, summaries, news of meetings, book reviews and trends of home and abroad in this field. The distinguishing feature of the journal is to give the priority to the reports on the research of basic theory, and take account of the reports on clinical and practical skills.
