Other HCMV-modulated factors, although to a lesser extent, were CYCS, DIABLO, TP73, MCL1, NFKB1, CIDEB, TNFRSF1A, TNFSF10, BCL2L1, IL-10, BIRC3; notably, all these transcripts were no longer significantly altered by HCMV infection compared to uninfected control cells at day 14 p.i.; moreover, at this time p.i. CASP4, CASP7, CASP6, CASP3, and CASP9 resulted downregulated. Here, NFKB1 is linked to cytomegalovirus infection.
