Screening core genes and signaling pathways after SFTSV infection by integrated transcriptome profiling analysis.

ABSTRACT: A newly discovered tick-borne virus called the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) can cause the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). The mortality and incidence rate of SFTS patients remain extremely high due to the fast global dissemination of its arthropod vectors, and the mechanism of viral pathogenesis remains largely unknown. In this study, high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was used to sequence HEK 293 cells treated with SFTSV at four time points. 115, 191, 259, and 660 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h post-infection, respectively. We found that SFTSV infection induced the expression of genes responsible for numerous cytokine-related pathways, including TNF, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL8, CXCL10, and
