The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a dramatic loss of human life and devastated the worldwide economy. Numerous efforts have been made to mitigate COVID-19 symptoms and reduce the death rate. We conducted literature mining of more than 250 thousand published works and curated the 174 most widely used COVID-19 medications. Overlaid with the human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, we used Steiner tree analysis to extract a core subnetwork that grew from the pharmacological targets of ten credible drugs ascertained by the CTD database. The resultant core subnetwork consisted of 34 interconnected genes, which were associated with 36 drugs. Immune cell membrane receptors, the downstream cellular signaling cascade, and severe COVID-19 symptom risk were significantly enriched for the core subnetwork genes. The lung mast cell was most enriched for the target genes among 1355 human tissue-cell types. Human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid COVID-19 single-cell RNA-Seq data highlighted the fact that T cells and macrophages have the most overlapping genes from the core subnetwork. Overall, we constructed an actionable human target-protein module that mainly involved anti-inflammatory/antiviral entry functions and highly overlapped with COVID-19-severity-related genes. Our findings could serve as a knowledge base for guiding drug discovery or drug repurposing to confront the fast-evolving SARS-CoV-2 virus and other severe infectious diseases.
