The Effect of Oseltamivir on the Disease Progression of Lethal Influenza A Virus Infection: Plasma Cytokine and miRNA Responses in a Mouse Model
Table 1
Significantly dysregulated circulating miRNAs in oseltamivir treated/untreated mice infected with lethal influenza A virus.

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. |
