Enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) are the two most important pathogens of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). However, the neuropathogenesis of EV71 and CVA16 has not been elucidated. In our previous study, we established gerbils as a useful model for both EV71 and CVA16 infection. In this work, we used RNA-seq technology to analyze the global gene expression of the brainstem of EV71- and CVA16-infected gerbils. We found that 3434 genes were upregulated while 916 genes were downregulated in EV71-infected gerbils. In CVA16-infected gerbils, 1039 genes were upregulated, and 299 genes were downregulated. We also found significant dysregulation of cytokines, such as IP-10 and CXCL9, in the brainstem of gerbils. The expression levels of 10 of the most upregulated genes were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR, and the upregulated tendency of most genes was in accordance with the differential gene expression (DGE) results. Our work provided global gene expression analysis of virus-infected gerbils and laid a solid foundation for elucidating the neuropathogenesis mechanisms of EV71 and CVA16.

Long-term exposure to piperonyl butoxide (PBO) induces multiple nodular masses along with hepatocellular tumors in the liver of mice. The histopathological features of the nodules led to our diagnosis of nodular regenerative hepatocellular hyperplasia (NRH). However, because of the lack of data on the biological characteristics of NRH, whether this lesion is truly nonneoplastic remains unknown. In this study, the molecular characteristics of NRH were compared with those of hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) by global gene expression analysis. Six-week-old male ICR mice were fed a diet containing 6,000 ppm PBO for 43 weeks to induce NRH and HCA development. Complementary DNA microarray analysis was performed using messenger RNA extracted from NRH and HCA frozen sections collected by laser microdissection. Hierarchical cluster analysis showed that all NRH samples clustered together but were separate from the HCA cluster. Pathway analysis revealed activation of the cell cycle and Delta–Notch signaling in both lesions, but the latter was more upregulated in HCA. Downregulation of cytochrome p450 enzymes was observed in NRH, but not in HCA. These results imply that NRH differs from HCA in terms of not only morphological but also molecular characteristics.
