Transcriptomic profiling of human PBMCs during EV-A71 infection. Primary human PBMCs (n = 4) were infected with mild, moderate, severe and heat-inactivated EV-A71 isolates at MOI 5, and harvested at 0, 6, 12 and 24 hpi for transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq. Results of infected conditions were compared to heat-inactivated control, and the log2-(fold change) values were analysed in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). (a,b) Overall changes of significant (a) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and (b) canonical pathways identified by IPA over time and in different isolates. (c) Heat-map showing normalised log2-(fold change) values of the common DEGs in all infected conditions of 6, 12 and 24 hpi. (d) Significant canonical pathways determined by IPA from the common DEGs in  (c) (*p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001). (e) Heat-map showing the activation z-score values of the top four canonical pathways as determined by IPA.
