Differences in transcriptomic profiles of human PBMCs infected with different EV-A71 isolates. 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) Venn diagrams illustrating the number of significant (a) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and (b) canonical pathways of the different EV-A71 isolates at 6, 12 and 24 hpi. (c) Heat-map showing the activation z-scores of the top 10 canonical pathways at 24 hpi as determined by IPA. Asterisks indicate the significance of the pathway in respective isolates. (d) Heat-map showing normalised log2-(fold change) values of the genes involved in TREM-1 signalling pathway at 24 hpi. Grey boxes indicate no values. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001).
