mRNA and miRNA profiling of Zika virus-infected human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells identifies miR-142-5p as an antiviral factor
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy is associated with congenital brain abnormalities, a finding that highlights the urgent need to understand mother-to-fetus transmission mechanisms. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) are susceptible to ZIKV infection but the underlying mechanisms of viral susceptibility remain largely unexplored. In this study, we have characterized and compared host...
