Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. CSFV up-regulated STAT1 expression via Erns, E1, and E2, but not the Core protein. PK- 15 cells were infected with CSFV (MOI = 1) and separately transfected with 1.0 µg of the recombinant eukaryotic expression vectors pCMV-Core-HA (A–D), pCMV-Erns-His (E–H), pCMV-E1-Myc (I–L), and pCMV-E2-Flag (M–P). PK-15 cells incubated with 100 IU/mL of IFNα served as the positive control, while PK-15 cells transfected with an empty pCMV vector were utilized as the negative control. Samples were collected 72 h later for subsequent analysis. CSFV Core (A), Erns (E), E1 (I), E2 (M), and STAT1 (B,F,J,N) mRNA levels were measured by RT-qPCR analysis at 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. (C,G,K,O) CSFV E2, Core-HA, Erns-His, E1-Myc, E2-Flag, and STAT1 protein levels at 12, 24, 48, and 72 h were measured by WB analysis. (D,H,L,P) The relative expression values of STAT1 protein were quantified using Image J software (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001).
