    Optimizing hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA transfection and co-cultivation for infectious NG virus production. ( A ) The N protein promotes virus production from CPER-derived ds-circDNAs. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA along with an hCoV-OC43 N expression vector (pCOC42) or a control vector (pFLAG-CMV-5.1) and then co-cultivated with HCT-8 for 8 days. The numbers of NG + HCT-8 cells were counted and averaged from 10 random microscopic fields on days 6, 7, and 8 (D6–D8) post-transfection. ( B ) A representative microscopic field showing the NG + HCT-8 cells co-transfected by an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA with an hCoV-OC43 N expression vector (pCOC42) or a control vector pFLAG-CMV-5.1 on D6 and D8. ( C, D ) Fetal bovine serum (FBS), but not new calf serum (NCS), is required for efficient virus production in HCT-8 cells. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA along with an N expression vector pCOC42 and maintained in DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS overnight. The transfected cells were then co-cultivated by the addition of HCT-8 cells with cell passage every 3 days for a total of 10 days in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS or 10% NCS. The number of NG + HCT-8 cells was counted and averaged from 10 random microscopic fields on D8–D10 ( C ). Significantly more NG + HCT-8 cells were shown from the cells with an FL NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA on D8–D10 when growing in the DMEM containing 10% FBS when compared with 10% NCS ( D ). ( E ) hCoV-OC43 induced visible and well-defined cytopathic effect (CPE) in both LLC-MK2 and <t>Mv1Lu</t> cells. The monolayer of LLC-MK2 or Mv1Lu cells in ~70% confluence was infected with WT hCoV-OC43 (100 µL supernatant of infected HCT-8 cells). One representative microscopic field is shown for each cell type. ( F ) Mv1Lu cells are more sensitive than LLC-MK2 cells for hCoV-OC43 infection and plaque formation. Plaque assays of LLC-MK2 and Mv1Lu cells were infected with 100 µL of each diluent after serial 10-fold dilutions of WT hCoV-OC43 virus and overlayed with semisolid media (1× DMEM, 0.5% methylcellulose and 10% FBS) for 8 days. The plaques were fixed for 30 min by 3.7% formaldehyde solution and stained with 1% crystal violet.

The numbers of NG + HCT-8 cells were counted and averaged from 10 random microscopic fields on days 6, 7, and 8 (D6–D8) post-transfection. ( B ) A representative microscopic field showing the NG + HCT-8 cells co-transfected by an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA with an hCoV-OC43 N expression vector (pCOC42) or a control vector pFLAG-CMV-5.1 on D6 and D8. ( C, D ) Fetal bovine serum (FBS), but not new calf serum (NCS), is required for efficient virus production in HCT-8 cells. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with an FL hCoV-OC43 NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA along with an N expression vector pCOC42 and maintained in DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS overnight. The transfected cells were then co-cultivated by the addition of HCT-8 cells with cell passage every 3 days for a total of 10 days in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS or 10% NCS. The number of NG + HCT-8 cells was counted and averaged from 10 random microscopic fields on D8–D10 ( C ). Significantly more NG + HCT-8 cells were shown from the cells with an FL NG-ns12.9 ds-circDNA on D8–D10 when growing in the DMEM containing 10% FBS when compared with 10% NCS ( D ). ( E ) hCoV-OC43 induced visible and well-defined cytopathic effect (CPE) in both LLC-MK2 and <t>Mv1Lu</t> cells. The monolayer of LLC-MK2 or Mv1Lu cells in ~70% confluence was infected with WT hCoV-OC43 (100 µL supernatant of infected HCT-8 cells). One representative microscopic field is shown for each cell type. ( F ) Mv1Lu cells are more sensitive than LLC-MK2 cells for hCoV-OC43 infection and plaque formation. Plaque assays of LLC-MK2 and Mv1Lu cells were infected with 100 µL of each diluent after serial 10-fold dilutions of WT hCoV-OC43 virus and overlayed with semisolid media (1× DMEM, 0.5% methylcellulose and 10% FBS) for 8 days. The plaques were fixed for 30 min by 3.7% formaldehyde solution and stained with 1% crystal violet.

Cells treated with 5 µM OA or DMSO equivalent volume were immunostained with specific antibodies against c-Jun transcription factor. Additionally, cells were treated 30 min before with the following inhibitors: 2.5 µM EGFRi, 50 µM MEKi and 15 µM JNKi. Co-staining with phalloidin and Hoechst-33258 was used to show actin cytoskeleton and nuclei, respectively. Images of p-c-Jun fluorescence were converted into pseudo-color with ImageJ software to show the intensity of c-Jun staining. Color rainbow scale represents fluorescence intensity for phospho-c-Jun. Actin fibers (F-actin): red. Nuclei: blue. Images were obtained with a confocal microscope. This experiment was repeated at least three times. Representative images are shown. Scale bar indicates 10 µm. ( b ) Plot represents the data obtained by p-c-Jun intensity at cell nuclei. In every condition, each point on the plot represents p-c-Jun intensity at the nucleus of one cell, quantified by ImageJ software. With the collected data of p-c-Jun intensity, a one-way ANOVA statistical analysis was performed (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001).

    OA induces FAK phosphorylation and promotes its localization in focal adhesion with paxillin in Mv1Lu cells. ( a ) The activation of FAK was assessed by Western Blot at Tyr 925, at the indicated times in the presence of 5 µM OA, DMSO equivalent volume or EGF. Additionally, total protein expression was assayed: FAK. β-Actin was used as a loading control. Phospho-FAK intensity values in Western-blot were quantified by ImageJ to conduct a one-way ANOVA analysis showed on the plot (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001). ( b ) Confluent Mv1Lu cells were scratched and allowed to migrate for 6 h. Pictures show the immunostaining with specific antibodies against phospho-FAK (Tyr 925) and paxillin. Co-staining with Hoechst-33258 was used to reveal nuclei. P-FAK: green. Paxillin: red. Nuclei: blue. ( c ) Pictures and graphs represent a colocalization analysis performed by Zeiss Efficient Navigation (ZEN) software. Colocalized pixels are highlighted in white at the immunostaining images. Graphs are dot plots representing both p-FAK and paxillin intensities in terms of number of pixels: p-FAK pixels on Y axis and paxillin pixels on X axis. The 3 quadrant (upper right) represents overlapped (common) pixels between both proteins. ( d ) Pictures of each condition (two) were divided in three horizontally distributed sectors. Pearson’s correlation coefficient in each sector of each condition was calculated by the average pixel intensity of p-FAK and paxillin overlapped pixels. The plot represents Pearson’s correlation values for each condition, each dot representing the value obtained in one sector. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between conditions according to one-way ANOVA statistical analysis: (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001). This experiment was repeated at least three times. Representative images are shown. Scale bar indicates 10 µm.
