RNA-seq of two Kaposi’s sarcoma tissue samples and the corresponding two normal tissue samples. RNA-seq of two Kaposi’s sarcoma tissue samples and the corresponding two normal tissue samples

We have reported that KSHV infection reprograms oral mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and transforms them to Kaposi sarcoma-like cells through mesenchymal-to-endothelial transition. To explore the mechanism of KSHV infection of MSCs, we compared the gene expression profiles of Kaposi’s sarcoma tissue and KSHV non-susceptible cells to explore potential host factors that contribute to KSHV infection. Overall design: RNA-seq of two Kaposi’s sarcoma tissue samples (P2 Tumor and P4 Tumor) and the corresponding two normal tissue samples (P2 Normal and P4 Normal)
