[h=3]Abstract[/h] Host genetic factors play an important role in diverse host outcomes after influenza A (H7N9) infection. Studying differential responses of inbred mouse lines with distinct genetic backgrounds to influenza virus infection could substantially increase our understanding of the contributory roles of host genetic factors to disease severity. Here, we utilized an integrated approach of mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq to investigate the transcriptome expression and regulation of host genes in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mouse strains during influenza virus infection. The differential pathogenicity of influenza virus in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J has been fully demonstrated through immunohistochemical staining, histopathological analyses, and viral replication assessment. A transcriptional molecular signature correlates to differential host response to infection has been uncovered. With the introduction of temporal expression pattern analysis, we demonstrated that host factors responsible for influenza virus replication and host-virus interaction were significantly enriched in genes exhibiting distinct temporal dynamics between different inbred mouse lines. A combination of time-series expression analysis and temporal expression pattern analysis has provided a list of promising candidate genes for future studies. An integrated miRNA regulatory network from both mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq revealed several regulatory modules responsible for regulating host susceptibilities and disease severity. Overall, a comprehensive framework for analyzing host susceptibilities to influenza infection was established by integrating mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq data of inbred mouse lines. This work suggests novel putative molecular targets for therapeutic interventions in seasonal and pandemic influenza.
