To evaluate the impact of ZIKV infection on neuronal cells over time, we retrieved gene expression data from several ZIKV-infected samples obtained at different time point post-infection (pi). Differential gene expression analysis was applied at each time point, with more differentially expressed genes (DEG) identified at 72h pi. There were 5 DEGs (PLA2G2F, TMEM71, PKD1L2, UBD, and TNFAIP3 genes) across all timepoints, which clearly distinguished between infected and healthy samples. The highest expression levels of all five genes were identified at 72h pi. Taken together, our results indicate that ZIKV infection greatly impacts human neural cells at early times of infection, with peak perturbation observed at 72h pi. Our analysis revealed that all five DEGs, in samples of ZIKV-infected human neural stem cells, remained highly upregulated across the timepoints evaluated. Moreover, despite the pronounced inflammatory host response observed throughout infection, the impact of ZIKV is variable over time. Finally, the five DEGs identified herein play prominent roles in infection, and could serve to guide future investigations into virus-host interaction, as well as constitute targets for therapeutic drug development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0290209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]],"date-time":"2024-03-21T13:25:45Z","timestamp":1711027545000},"page":"e0290209","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The impact of ZIKV infection on gene expression in neural cells over time"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1594-2311","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Moreno Magalh\u00e3es de Souza","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio Marques Pereira","family":"J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eduardo Rocha","family":"Fukutani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keityane Boone","family":"Bergamaschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariana","family":"Ara\u00fajo-Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vanessa Riesz","family":"Salgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Artur Trancoso Lopo","family":"de Queiroz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0290209.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaut.2016.02.006","article-title":"The Zika outbreak of the 21st century","author":"C Chang","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Autoimmun"},{"key":"pone.0290209.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"467","DOI":"10.20506\/rst.34.2.2372","article-title":"La dengue et autres infections \u00e0 flavivirus","volume":"34","author":"V Choumet","year":"2015","journal-title":"Rev Sci Tech l\u2019OIE"},{"key":"pone.0290209.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S875","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/jix396","article-title":"Modes of Transmission of Zika Virus","volume":"216","author":"CJ Gregory","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Infect Dis"},{"key":"pone.0290209.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"569","DOI":"10.1590\/0074-02760150192","article-title":"First report of autochthonous transmission of Zika virus in Brazil","volume":"110","author":"C Zanluca","year":"2015","journal-title":"Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz"},{"key":"pone.0290209.ref005","unstructured":"Organization WH.
