Similarly, at day 14 p.i., several transcripts found upregulated at previous times (e.g., CYCS, DIABLO, TP73, MCL1, NFKB1, CIDEB, TNFRSF1A, TNFSF10, BCL2L1), were no more significantly altered by HCMV infection compared to uninfected control cells or even downregulated, such as CASP4, CASP7, CASP6, CASP3, and CASP9 (−6.45, −4.16, −4.02, −3.64, and −3.9 fold, respectively). This evidence concerns the gene CASP9 and cytomegalovirus infection.
