Statistically significant unique miRNA expression patterns ( and 0.01) from days 1 to 9 in the plasma of mice infected with lethal mouse adapted influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) virus and treated with oseltamivir phosphate either prophylactically or therapeutically compared with the corresponding plasma miRNAs of infected mice. For the prophylactic group, mice were infected with 1000 TCID50 virus and treated 2 h before infection with oseltamivir. The therapeutic groups were infected with 1000 or 100 TCID50 virus and treated 24 h postinfection. Prophylactic and therapeutic groups were administered with oseltamivir 10 mg/kg by oral gavage twice daily for 5 days. An infected group gavaged with distilled water was added as control. The miRNAs shown in bold were downregulated. NS: no significant miRNAs detected.
