The coronavirus COVID19 pandemic is an emerging biosafety threat to the nation and the world (1). There are no treatments approved for coronavirus infection in humans (2) and there is a lack of information available regarding the basic transcriptional behavior of human cells and mammalian tissues following coronavirus infection. We mined two independent datasets (3, 4), public (3) and published (4) containing transcriptome data from infection models of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus to discover genes that are differentially expressed in human cells after infection with MERS-CoV coronaviruses and assess their differential expression after infection with other coronavirus types. We identified the F-box and Leucine Rich Region (LRR) protein 8 (FBXL8) as a differentially expressed gene following infection of primary human cells and a human cell line with wild-type MERS-CoV and MERS-CoV London, respectively. FBXL8 induction after viral infection appears to be unique to MERS-CoV among coronaviruses studied.

The coronavirus COVID19 pandemic is an emerging biosafety threat to the nation and the world (1). There are no treatments approved for coronavirus infection in humans (2) and there is a lack of information available regarding the basic transcriptional behavior of human cells and mammalian tissues following coronavirus infection. We mined three independent datasets (3-5), public (3) and published (4, 5) containing transcriptome data from infection models of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus, human coronavirus (HCoV) and SARS coronavirus to discover genes that are differentially expressed in coronaviruses and identify potential therapeutic targets and host cell vulnerabilities. We identified MAP3K8, also known as COT and Tpl-2 (6-8) as a conserved differentially expressed gene following coronavirus infection in primary human cells, in a human cell line, and in the lungs of infected ferrets. MAP3K8 expression dramatically decreased within 12-24 hours of coronavirus infection, both in the lungs of ferrets infected with SARS coronavirus and in primary human microvascular endothelial cells infected with MERS coronavirus. MAP3K8 may be involved in the cellular response to COVID19 infection or a host cell vulnerability, exploited by coronaviruses.

The coronavirus COVID19 pandemic is an emerging biosafety threat to the nation and the world (1). There are no treatments approved for coronavirus infection in humans (2) and there is a lack of information available regarding the basic transcriptional behavior of human cells and mammalian tissues following coronavirus infection. We mined two independent published datasets (3-4), containing transcriptome data from infection models of the severe acute respiratory distress syndrome SARS coronavirus in mice and in ferrets to discover genes that are differentially expressed in coronaviruses in vivo and identify potential therapeutic targets and host cell vulnerabilities. We identified IFI44 as a conserved differentially expressed gene following coronavirus infection in the blood of infected ferrets and in the lungs of infected mice. IFI44 may be involved in the cellular response to COVID19 infection or a host cell vulnerability, exploited by coronaviruses.

The coronavirus COVID19 pandemic is an emerging biosafety threat to the nation and the world (1). There are no treatments approved for coronavirus infection in humans (2) and there is a lack of information available regarding the basic transcriptional behavior of human cells and mammalian tissues following coronavirus infection. We mined multiple independent public (3) or published datasets (4-8) containing transcriptome data from infection models of human coronavirus 229E, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus to discover genes whose differential expression was conserved across the coronavirus family. We identified SSX2 (9) as a differentially expressed gene following infection of human cells specifically with two types of MERS coronaviruses. and not after infection of human cells with human coronavirus 229E, or and in the lungs of mice and ferrets infected with SARS coronavirus. An SSX2 interacting protein, SSX2IP, was among the genes most differentially expressed in the ferret blood after infection with SARS coronavirus. The expression of SSX2 is modulated to a degree unlike most any other gene following infection with MERS coronaviruses.

The coronavirus COVID19 pandemic is an emerging biosafety threat to the nation and the world (1). There are no treatments approved for coronavirus infection in humans (2) and there is a lack of information available regarding the basic transcriptional behavior of human cells and mammalian tissues following coronavirus infection. We mined multiple independent public (3) or published datasets (4-7) containing transcriptome data from infection models of human coronavirus 229E, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus to discover genes whose differential expression was conserved across the coronavirus family. We identified the GTP binding protein overexpressed in skeletal muscle, GEM (8), also known as Kir, as a differentially expressed gene following infection of human cells with two types of MERS coronavirus, after infection of human cells with human coronavirus 229E, and in the lungs of mice and ferrets infected with SARS coronavirus. GEM induction after viral infection appears to be conserved across the coronavirus family and may be found in patients infected with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
