Genetic profiling to identify significantly changed lipid metabolizing genes in influenza A virus infected lipid droplet enriched A549 cells
In this study, we systematically compared how influenza avirus infection affected genes in lipid-laiden lung-derived A549 cells. Cells were pre-treated with oleic acid to induce lipid droplets prior to PR8 infection following standard protocols. RNA-seq profiling data from PR8 influenza A virus infected A549 cells and were compared to the control cells in which lipid droplets were induced by oleic acid.
