Genes downregulated by the infection and upregulated by dex were CD47 (ID 29364), Catenin (cadherin associated protein) beta 1 (Ctnnb1, ID 84353), nerve growth factor (NGF, ID 310738), neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (NTRK2, ID 25054) and NTRK3 (ID 29613), TSC 22 domain family member 3 (TSC22d3, ID 83514) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA, ID 83785). Here, NGF is linked to infection.
