Quantitative gene expression of treated HEK293 cells. HEK293 cells were treated with two different concentrations of 10 ng/ml and 1000 ng/ml of palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, 17-octadecynoic acid, 1-nonadecene, and l-lactic acid for 48 h. A ACE2. B NRP-1. C TMPSS2. Gene expression of the treated cells was normalised with its corresponding vehicle values. The data were analysed using two-way ANOVA, the statistical significance was calculated using Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test and the significance level indicated by asterisks (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001). P-value < 0.05 was considered as significant. The data display the fold change in gene expression in 3 replicas
