Analysis of RNA-seq data using DAVID pathway enrichment software showed enrichment of several inflammatory pathways in PA-treated cells versus control cells, including cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling, lipid and atherosclerosis signaling, NF-κB signaling and viral infection among the upregulated genes (Fig. 1B). This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and viral infectious disease.
