STAT3 and infection: Fig 6B illustrates the changes at 8 and 48 hours post-infection for the hsa-mir-155 pathway in the genes captured on the analysis. At 48 hours the top upstream regulator for the list was still hsa-mir-155 (p = 5.23x10-28) with 21 genes included. Two additional pathways activated at 48 hours included TGFB1 (p = 1.1x10-15) and response to dsRNA (p = 4.99x10-15). The direction of the regulatory effect exerted by hsa-mir-155 on these molecules at 48 hours was concordant with the literature for the upregulation of CCL2, CXCL8, HK2 and STAT3.
