RNA-seq of human primary epithelial nasal cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 (20A clade) and treated with long chain inorganic polyphosphates (polyP120) against vehicle-(saline solution)- treated controls
Primary human nasal epithelial cells collected by nasal brushing of healthy donors (data deposited at: EVA- EMBL-EBI; project ID: PRJEB42411; analyses: ERZ1700617) were plated (3x105 cells) and infected with SARS-CoV-2 viral particles 20A (EPI_ISL_514432-S66; MOI, 0.03). After 24 hours, the infected cells were treated with 18.5 microMolar long chain inorganic polyphosphates (polyP120) or vehicle (saline solution) as the negative control for the treatment. After 36 hours, the cells were lysed, and their RNA were extracted for RNAseq.
