GNRH1 and infectious disease: Sixty-eight target genes were predicted from this 3-miRNA signature and in the functional analysis, we found that they mainly enriched ion channels and signaling pathways (calcium, notch, TRP, TGF-beta, GnRH, HIF-1, thyroid, oxytocin, mTOR and Wnt), neurotransmitter and hormone homeostasis (aldosterone, serotonin, growth hormone, dopamine and adrenaline), infectious diseases (Hepatitis, Influenza and tuberculosis) and circadian entrainment (Table 2).
