The 107 upregulated DEGs shared among all three infection conditions enriched pathways related to ‘Hypertrophy model’ (Z = 7.90, P < 0.001), ‘Apoptosis’ (Z = 4.8 P < 0.01), ‘Aminoacid metabolism’ (Z = 4.3, P < 0.01), ‘MAPK signaling pathway’ (Z = 3.9, P < 0.01), ‘ErbB signaling pathway’(Z = 4.9, P < 0.01), ‘Spinal cord injury’ (Z = 4.2, P < 0.01), ‘Selenium metabolism-selenoproteins’ (Z = 4.8, P < 0.01), and ‘Homologous recombination’ (Z = 6.5, P < 0.01) (Fig. 7A). Here, SELENOS is linked to infection.
