C91/PL (HTLV-1-transformed T-cell line) cells were treated with vehicle or titrating amounts (20 µM, 40 µM, 60 µM, and 80 µM) of STM2457 for 72 h. ( A ) The level of m 6 A-modified mRNA in the cell was quantified using an ELISA. ( B ) Western blot analysis was used to measure viral protein (Env, Tax, <t>p19</t> [Gag], and Hbz) expression. β-actin was used as a loading control. Relative band intensity was quantified using ImageJ. Protein quantification relative to DMSO (normalized to β-actin) is depicted below each western blot.

    1 x 10 6 lethally irradiated 729.WT, 729.M3, 729.ΔHbz, 729.M3.ΔHbz, or 729.SAm producer cells were co-cultured in 24-well plates with 2 x 10 6 freshly isolated hPBMCs from healthy donors in two independent experiments. Long-term immortalization results and characterization of newly immortalized PBL cell lines are shown from a representative experiment. (A) Cells in the co-culture were provided 10 U/mL hIL-2 once per week with fresh media. T-cell immortalization was determined with weekly viable cell counts by trypan blue exclusion. (B) Cell supernatant was collected for p19 Gag ELISA at weekly intervals, beginning at Week 4, to determine virion production. Each time point depicts data collected from three random, independent wells (technical replicates) and error bars represent SD. RNA was extracted from PBL cell lines immortalized by WT, M3, ΔHbz, M3.ΔHbz, and SAm viruses for cDNA synthesis and qPCR to detect (C) spliced hbz mRNA expression and (D) unspliced hbz RNA expression. Hbz copy number is shown normalized to 1 x 10 6 gapdh copies. Unspliced hbz is shown as fold change relative to WT. Data were generated from duplicate samples and error bars represent SD. The number of newly immortalized cell lines that were analyzed for each virus are as follows: WT n = 4, M3 n = 2, ΔHbz n = 2, M3.ΔHbz n = 3, and SAm n = 3. (E) Total protein was quantified in cell lysates from WT and mutant cell lines and equal amounts were loaded onto an SDS-PAGE gel for immunoblotting analysis. β-actin is shown as a loading control, and arrows are used to distinguish background bands from those corresponding to Hbz protein. (F) Phenotyping of immortalized T-cells was performed by flow cytometry using antibodies against CD3, CD4, and CD8 surface markers. The average percentage of CD4 and CD8 T-cells in each mutant condition is depicted below. (G) Cell lines were collected for nuclear/cytoplasmic cell fractionation followed by RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and qPCR to detect spliced hbz in each fraction. Each dot represents an individual cell line, generated from duplicate samples and bars represent the mean. An ATL-derived cell line (ATL-ED) was used as a positive control. (H) Proliferation was measured by MTS assay. Error bars represent the SD of three technical replicates. Data in all panels are representative of at least three experimental repeats.
