Gene-expression data of female wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) from C57BL/7 mice

Leishmania are medically relevant protozoan parasites that cause leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease that can differently manifest depending on the species and the immune status of the host. Previously, it has been suggested that the presence of an endosymbiont double stranded RNA virus, Leishmania RNA Virus 1 (LRV1), within the parasite may leed to an exarcerbation of the disease outcome and represents an important factor for treatment failure and relapse. Here, we provide gene expression data of wild-type (WT) and various knock-out (KO) bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) from mice (C57BL/6) in different conditions of infections and treatments. We included BMDMs from WT, Ifnar-/-, IFNg-/-, iNOs-/-, Nlrx1-/-, Nox2-/- and Prx5-/- mice. BMDMs were either infected with a human protozoan parasite Leishmania guyanensis with or without its endosymbiant dsRNA virus, LRV1 (LgyLRV1+ and LgyLRV1-, respectively). Alternatively BMDMs were treated with poly I:C, a synthetic dsRNA or a TLR2 agonist FSL1 to identify virus dependetn pathways or to explore the impact of co-exposure to additional agents, respectively. Overall design: Transcriptomic analysis of female WT and 6 KO BMDMs. A total of 62 samples were included in triplicates (total 186).
