Global gene expression in response to West Nile virus in mouse spleen and liver
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Purpose of this experiment was to further understand how innate immune defenses impact host response and West Nile virus tissue tropism. This study examined host-transcriptional response to West Nile virus in permissive and nonpermissive tissues using wildtype mice and mice with genetically altered interferon signaling pathways. Age-matched six to twelve week old mice were inoculated subcutaneously in the left rear footpad with 100 PFU of West Nile virus isolate TX 2002-HC (WNV-TX) in a 10 microL inoculum diluted in Hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS) supplemented with 1% heat-inactivated FBS. Mice were monitored daily for morbidity and mortality. Expression oligonucleotide arrays were performed on RNA isolated from spleen and liver tissues from strain and time-matched mock infected mice (n=2) and WNV-TX infected wild type (WT; n=3; day 4 post-infection), Ips-1-/-(n=3; day 4 post-infection), Ifnar-/- (n=3; day 2 post-infection), and Ips-1-/-xIfnar-/- (DKO; n=3; day 4 post-infection) mice.
