Functional prediction of differentially expressed lncRNAs in HSV-1 infected human foreskin fibroblasts
2016
Background
One of the most important functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is to control protein coding gene transcription by acting locally in cis, or remotely in trans. Herpes Simplex Virus type I (HSV-1) latently infects over 80 % of the population, its reactivation from latency usually results in productive infections in human epithelial cells, and is responsible for the common cold sores and genital Herpes. HSV-1 productive infection leads to profound changes in the host cells, including the host transcriptome. However, how genome wide lncRNAs expressions are affected by the infection and how lncRNAs expression relates to protein coding gene expression have not been analyzed.
