In addition, scRNA-seq and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) confirmed that the intercellular communication between secretory phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1)-cluster of differentiation (CD44), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1-IGF1r and visfatin-insulin receptor (Insr) associated with bone metabolism and insulin metabolism was increased and enhanced in the liver at 6 w post-infection. The gene discussed is IGF1; the disease is infection.
