    Inflammation upregulates SGLT1, ACE2 and <t>TMPRSS2</t> in Caco-2/TC7 cells. ( A ) Graphical illustration of the experimental protocol for the standard and inflamed Caco-2/TC7 cell models. Cells were differentiated in 25 mM glucose until day 7, then in 5.5 mM glucose until day 14. Cells were differentiated for 14 days from confluence and treated with dexamethasone (DEX) or 0.1% (v/v) DMSO (vehicle control) up to twice daily for 60 h, 24 h, or 4 h. For the inflamed model, a cytokine cocktail containing IL-1β (25 ng/mL) and TNF-α (50 ng/mL) was added to the basolateral (BL) once daily for 72 h. Finally, cell culture media from both apical (AP) and BL compartments were collected from the inflamed cells for IL-8 quantification. mRNA and protein were extracted from cells in both the standard and inflamed models and analysed through ddPCR and ELISA, respectively. A comparison of ( B ) IL-8 secretion and ( C ) SGLT1, ( D ) GLUT2, ( E ) ACE2 and ( F ) TMPRSS2 mRNA expression between standard (grey) and inflamed (blue) Caco-2/TC7 cells is shown. Total RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed, and absolute copies of SGLT1, GLUT2, ACE2 or TMPRSS2 cDNA measured by ddPCR are expressed relative to the housekeeping gene TBP. For IL-8 detection, cell culture media were processed, and IL-8 measured using ELISA and corrected for total protein measured by Bradford assay. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6 technical replicates from N = 3 biological replicates). Differences between cells in the standard and inflamed environments in B-F were determined by unpaired t -test with Welch’s correction; ns—not significant, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.

    Dexamethasone upregulates TMPRSS2 mRNA expression in Caco-2/TC7 cells. The acute and chronic effect of dexamethasone (DEX) on TMPRSS2 mRNA expression was assessed in 14-day differentiated Caco-2/TC7 cells, under either standard conditions (Panel 1) or an inflamed state induced by daily exposure to IL-1β and TNF-α during the final 72 h (Panel 2). Cells were treated with DEX (5, 10, 20 µM) or 0.1% (v/v) DMSO vehicle control for different time durations: ( A, D ) 4 h, ( B, E ) 24 h and ( C, F ) 60 h. A comparison of the effect of DEX between standard (grey) and inflamed (blue) conditions is shown in Panel 3 ( G —4 h, H —24 h, I —60 h). Total RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed, and absolute copies of TMPRSS2 cDNA measured by ddPCR are expressed relative to the housekeeping gene TBP. Values represent mean fold change compared to DMSO vehicle control (Panel 1) or cytokine-treated DMSO vehicle control (Panel 2). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6 technical replicates from N = 3 biological replicates). Differences were determined as follows: A, D, G —unpaired t -test with Welch’s correction; B-C, E–F —one-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD multiple comparisons test; H, I —two-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD multiple comparisons test. ns—not significant, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.

    Dexamethasone upregulates TMPRSS2 mRNA expression in Caco-2/TC7 cells. The acute and chronic effect of dexamethasone (DEX) on TMPRSS2 mRNA expression was assessed in 14-day differentiated Caco-2/TC7 cells, under either standard conditions (Panel 1) or an inflamed state induced by daily exposure to IL-1β and TNF-α during the final 72 h (Panel 2). Cells were treated with DEX (5, 10, 20 µM) or 0.1% (v/v) DMSO vehicle control for different time durations: ( A, D ) 4 h, ( B, E ) 24 h and ( C, F ) 60 h. A comparison of the effect of DEX between standard (grey) and inflamed (blue) conditions is shown in Panel 3 ( G —4 h, H —24 h, I —60 h). Total RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed, and absolute copies of TMPRSS2 cDNA measured by ddPCR are expressed relative to the housekeeping gene TBP. Values represent mean fold change compared to DMSO vehicle control (Panel 1) or cytokine-treated DMSO vehicle control (Panel 2). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 6 technical replicates from N = 3 biological replicates). Differences were determined as follows: A, D, G —unpaired t -test with Welch’s correction; B-C, E–F —one-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD multiple comparisons test; H, I —two-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD multiple comparisons test. ns—not significant, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.

    Quercetin acutely decreases angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) in Calu‐3‐air–liquid interface (ALI) cells. Calu‐3 cells were cultured on polycarbonate membrane inserts at an ALI for 10 days after reaching confluence and treated apically with quercetin or 0.1% (v/v) DMSO vehicle control in serum‐free medium for 4 or 8 h. For gene expression (A–D), total RNA was isolated and cDNA was synthesized, partitioned, amplified, and analyzed by ddPCR using gene expression assays. Gene expression was quantified as copies per ng mRNA, assuming a 1:1 RT efficiency, and ACE2 (A), TMPRSS2 (B), ACE (C), and ADAM17 (D) target genes are expressed relative to the TBP reference gene. For protein expression (E, F), ACE2 (E) and TMPRSS2 (F) were quantified by ELISA and expressed relative to total protein in the cell lysate. Data were collected independently for each gene/protein from cells treated on duplicate plates across three biological passages. Data are presented as mean ± SD with individual data points representing each cell experiment ( n / N = 6/3). Significant differences were determined by one‐way (A–C) or two‐way (E, F) ANOVA with post‐hoc Tukey's multiple comparisons or by Friedman test with post‐hoc Dunn's multiple comparisons where residuals did not follow a normal distribution (D). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. 0 μM quercetin; ### p < 0.001 vs. 10 μM quercetin.

    Long‐term quercetin treatment decreases transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2), but not angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), in Calu‐3‐air–liquid interface (ALI) cells. Calu‐3 cells were cultured on polycarbonate membrane inserts at an ALI for 10 days after reaching confluence. For the final 3 days, cells were treated apically with quercetin or 0.1% (v/v) DMSO vehicle control in serum‐free medium for 1 h twice per day. Cells were harvested for RNA or protein 4 h after the final application of quercetin. For gene expression (A, B), total RNA was isolated and cDNA was synthesized, partitioned, amplified, and analyzed by ddPCR using gene expression assays. Gene expression was quantified as copies per ng mRNA, assuming a 1:1 RT efficiency, and ACE2 (A) and TMPRSS2 (B) target genes are expressed relative to the TBP reference gene.

    Quercetin decreases angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) in human primary bronchial epithelium cells (PBECs). Human PBECs were isolated and cultured until 80% confluence was reached. Cells were treated with quercetin or 0.1% (v/v) DMSO vehicle control in serum‐free medium for up to 6 h. Total RNA was isolated and cDNA was synthesized, partitioned, amplified, and analyzed by ddPCR using gene expression assays specific to ACE2 (A) or TMPRSS2 (B) and quantified as copies per ng mRNA, assuming a 1:1 RT efficiency. Data were collected independently for each gene from cells originating from four donors, each cultured and treated in triplicate. Data are presented as mean ± SD with individual data points representing each culture ( n / N = 12/4). Significant differences were determined by two‐way ANOVA with post‐hoc Tukey's multiple comparisons. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. 0 μM quercetin; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs. 5 μM quercetin.
