Genes significantly altered in response to Bacillus anthracis infection in murine hearts at 8 hr

GenBank ID	Gene Name	Function	FC
Up-regulated in Response to B. anthracis Infection

AB006361	Prostaglandin D synthetase (Ptgds)	Conversion of PGH2 to PGD2; smooth muscle contraction/relaxation	1.7

Down-regulated in Response to B. anthracis Infection

NM_007788	Casein kinase II, alpha 1 polypeptide (Csnk2a1)	Wnt receptor signaling pathway	−1.8
NM_011638	Transferrin receptor (Tfrc)	Iron ion homeostasis	−1.9

FC = fold-change

Negative sign (−) before fold-change value indicates down-regulation

Genes shown more than once were represented by more than one probe set on the array, and each was determined separately to be altered in response to Bacillus anthracis treatment
