MALAT1 and infection: At 8 h post-infection, the splicing variants ENSMUST00000119415.2 (Lethe), ENSMUST00000247683.1 (Gas5) and ENSMUST00000241946.1 (lincRNA-Cox2) were significantly overexpressed compared to the uninfected group (Figure 2B), while five splicing variants of the Gas5, one of Malat1 splicing (ENSMUST00000249653.1) and one of the lincRNA-Cox2 splicing (ENSMUST00000245797.1) were downregulated (Figure 2C).
