As we did not find any transcriptome RNA-seq data of primary macrophages after the first hours of Brucella infection, we used available RNA-seq data of RAW264.7 macrophages at 8h post-infection with B. abortus (37) to analyze the expression profile of lincRNA-Cox2, Lethe, lincRNA-EPS, Gas5 or Malat1, identifying changes in the abundance of the various transcripts associated with these lncRNAs. This evidence concerns the gene GAS5 and infection.
