Figure 2. Transcriptomic analysis identifies molecular networks that correlate with DENV viral load.

(A) Heat map of probe sets (rows) and subjects (columns) ranked by VL (top), colors in map indicate relative gene expression. Right margin: probe sets with negative (blue) or positive correlation (red) to VL. P < 0.05 (Pearson). Frames: approximate range of top 1000 genes positively (red) or negatively (blue) correlated to VL used for analysis in B-E. (B and D) Top Ingenuity pathways that positively (B) or negatively (D) correlate with VL. Dotted line represents a cut-off value (−log p=2). (E and C) IPA analysis of positively (C) or negatively (E) VL correlated genes regulated by IFN-α (C) or XBP-1 (E). P < 0.05 (Pearson). (F) GSEA analysis of the whole blood transcriptome of acute dengue patients using cell-specific data sets. Normalized enrichment score (NES) indicates positive (NES>0, red bars) or negative (NES<0, blue bars) correlation of distinct cell-specific gene sets to VL.
