Host Cell Gene Expression Pattern in an in vitro Infection Model<br />
SOCS1, and finally for the transcriptionally regulated genes PSMB8, TAP1, IRF1, IFI35, IFIT1, IFIT3,<br />
OAS1, and MX1.<br />
For the influence <strong>of</strong> staphylococcal infection on IFN signaling in in vivo kidney gene expression<br />

Red color indicates increase <strong>of</strong><br />
expression. More intense shade<br />
<strong>of</strong> color is used for higher<br />
absolute fold change values.<br />
The second result in significantly over-represented canonical pathways was “Role <strong>of</strong> Pattern<br />
Recognition Receptors in Recognition <strong>of</strong> Bacteria and Viruses” (p = 3.63E−08; ratio = 20/80). This<br />
pathway includes C3AR1 (fold change 3.6), receptor for complement component C3a, pentraxin<br />
PTX3 (3.7), a soluble pattern recognition receptor (PRR) and inflammation regulator involved in<br />
enhancing complement activation and clearance <strong>of</strong> apoptotic cells, toll-like receptor TLR3 (5.1)<br />
with its signal transduction molecule MYD88 (2.3), intracellular PRR RIG-1 (DDX58; 3.2) and MDA-<br />
5 (IFIH1; 5.6), which are involved in viral double-stranded RNA recognition, and NOD1 (2.5),<br />
receptor for bacterial diaminopimelic acid with its signal transduction kinase RIPK2 (3.8). NOD1 is<br />
known to activate CASP1 (4.4), a protease cleaving the inactive IL-1β precursor.<br />
Three different 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase genes OAS1/2/3 (2.5/2.4/1.9) were induced.<br />
They are part <strong>of</strong> the innate immune response, induced <strong>by</strong> interferon, and their product<br />
oligoadenylate activates RNASEL (1.6), which was additionally induced on mRNA level in this<br />
experiment. Cytokine genes IL6 (11.9), IFNB1 (3.6), IL12A (4.0), CCL5 (4.0; RANTES) are included in<br />
this pathway as end point <strong>of</strong> signal transduction starting with different TLRs via NFκB. Finally,<br />
three subunits <strong>of</strong> PI3K, phosphoinositide-3-kinase, were induced: PIK3R1 (1.7), regulatory subunit<br />
1/alpha, PIK3R3 (2.4), regulatory subunit 3/gamma, and PIK3CA (1.7), catalytic subunit alpha<br />
polypeptide.<br />
Significant over-representation was also observed for members <strong>of</strong> the pathway “Death<br />
Receptor Signaling” (p = 1.21E−03; ratio = 12/64). The death receptor FAS (3.7) and cascade<br />
initiating caspases CASP8 (1.6) and CASP10 (2.2) were induced, but also CFLAR (2.6; FLIP) as<br />
inhibitor <strong>of</strong> CASP8/10. Ligands TNFSF10 (18.5; APO2L, TRAIL) and TNFSF15 (4.6; TL1) were<br />
strongly induced, but not their receptors (DR). Death receptor’s/TNF receptor’s signal<br />
transduction kinase RIPK1 (2.2) was induced together with MAP kinases MAP3K14 (2.0) and<br />
MAP4K4 (2.7) and IκB kinase (IKK) subunit IKBKE (2.3). Additionally, CASP3 was slightly induced<br />
