Virus inoculum (CHIKV-LR at MOI 1) was present for 1.5 h, after which the inoculum was removed, and fresh medium was added with or without the Hsp70 inhibitors or DMSO control. At 9 hpi, the infectious virus particle production was assessed using the plaque assay. Data are presented as mean±SEM from at least three independent experiments.

    Korean Cell Line Bank u2os cell line (human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cells)
    IPI measurement of LDs in <t>U2OS</t> cells. (A) Single-color (left) and two-color (right) IP images at 2193 cm −1 and 2855 cm −1 . The two-color IP image was constructed by superimposing IP images simultaneously obtained with IR excitations of 2855 cm −1 (45 kHz) and 2193 cm −1 (50 kHz), which are marked by false green and red colors, respectively. The IPI contrasts were adjusted to reveal the cellular structures. The inset image is the bright-field image of the corresponding region. Cutoff frequency, 70 Hz. Step size, 200 nm. Pixel dwell time, 2 ms. Probe power, 15 mW. IR excitation power, 0.2 mW (at 2193 cm −1 ) and 0.1 mW (at 2855 cm −1 ). Scale bars, 20 μm. (B) IP spectra of LDs before and after background calibration. Three LDs are indicated in . Each data point in the IP spectra was obtained by 50 ms averaging and normalization to the intensity of the IR excitation pulse. The spectra on the bottom were calibrated by matching the background signal level in the off-resonant spectral region (2740 cm −1 to 2760 cm −1 ). Stepsize, 1 cm −1 . (C) Histogram for IP intensity at 2855 cm −1 of LDs. We obtained IP spectra of 47 LDs within U2OS cells from seven different regions, and the histogram shows the distribution of IP intensities at 2855 cm −1 of the calibrated IP spectra.

    Article Snippet: The human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cell line U2OS (ATCC HTB-96) and human foreskin fibroblast cell line HFF-1 (ATCC SCRC-1041) were maintained in Dulbecco’s minimal essential medium (DMEM), high glucose, GlutaMAX tm, and sodium pyruvate (Gibco), supplemented with penicillin-streptomycin (P/S; 100U/mL, Gibco) and 10% or 15% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Lonza), respectively.

    Techniques: Control, Virus, Plaque Assay

    (A) U2OS cells were treated with increasing concentrations of the Hsp70 inhibitors or the equivalent volume of the DMSO control. The metabolic activity of the cells was assessed after 16 hours (h) of treatment using the MTS assay and was normalized to the DMSO control. A decrease of 15% in metabolically active cells was considered non-toxic (dotted line represents 85%). (B-F) U2OS cells were infected with CHIKV-LR OPY1 at multiplicity of infection (MOI) 1 in the presence of increasing concentrations of the (B) DMSO control (0.002% matches 0.1 µM JG-compound, 0.01% DMSO matches 0.5 µM JG-compound, etc.) or the Hsp70 inhibitors concentrations of (C) JG18, (D) JG40, (E) JG98, (F) JG345. Supernatants were collected at 9 hpi, and the number of infectious CHIKV particles was quantified using plaque assay on Vero-WHO cells. (B-F) Percentage inhibition was determined relative to the DMSO control, and IC50 (which corresponds to a 50% reduction in viral titer) per Hsp70 inhibitor was determined via non-linear regression. Data are presented as mean±SEM from three independent experiments. (B) Statistical differences were determined using One-way ANOVA and were presented when p≤0.05 with *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, ****p ≤ 0.001.

The two-color IP image was constructed by superimposing IP images simultaneously obtained with IR excitations of 2855 cm −1 (45 kHz) and 2193 cm −1 (50 kHz), which are marked by false green and red colors, respectively. The IPI contrasts were adjusted to reveal the cellular structures. The inset image is the bright-field image of the corresponding region. Cutoff frequency, 70 Hz. Step size, 200 nm. Pixel dwell time, 2 ms. Probe power, 15 mW. IR excitation power, 0.2 mW (at 2193 cm −1 ) and 0.1 mW (at 2855 cm −1 ). Scale bars, 20 μm. (B) IP spectra of LDs before and after background calibration. Three LDs are indicated in . Each data point in the IP spectra was obtained by 50 ms averaging and normalization to the intensity of the IR excitation pulse. The spectra on the bottom were calibrated by matching the background signal level in the off-resonant spectral region (2740 cm −1 to 2760 cm −1 ). Stepsize, 1 cm −1 . (C) Histogram for IP intensity at 2855 cm −1 of LDs. We obtained IP spectra of 47 LDs within U2OS cells from seven different regions, and the histogram shows the distribution of IP intensities at 2855 cm −1 of the calibrated IP spectra.
