Infection with both strains of Coxiella also repressed expression of several transcripts at 8 h, including genes with roles in cell adhesion and migration (sorbs3, loxl3, arhgap6, tens1, plxnc1), lipid metabolism (agmo, st6gal1), and innate immune signaling (irf4, lifr, cxcr4). This evidence concerns the gene ST6GAL1 and infection.
