Figure Lengend Snippet: PHEV infection leads to lysosomal abnormalities. a PHEV localizes to lysosomes, and PHEV infection results in greater lysosome enlargement compared with mock infection. The percentage of N2a cells containing enlarged lysosomes (> 1 μm) was quantified in the experiment. Scale bar = 10 μm. All the results are presented as the means ± the SD of the data from three independent experiments (**, P < 0.01). b PHEV infection decreased PGRN protein expression. PGRN protein levels in PHEV-infected or mock-infected N2a cells were quantified and normalized to GAPDH. n = 3; one-way ANOVA; **, P < 0.01; Student’s t test. c PHEV infection decreased PGRN mRNA expression. PGRN mRNA levels in PHEV-infected or mock-infected N2a cells were quantified and normalized to GAPDH. n = 3; one-way ANOVA; **, P < 0.01; Student’s t test. d PHEV bound to PGRN. PHEV-infected or mock-infected N2a cells were stained with antiPHEV (red) and antiPGRN (green). Scale bar = 10 μm. e AntiGFP immunoprecipitates from PHEV-infected or mock-infected EGFP-PGRN-transfected N2a cells were harvested, and the physical interaction between PGRN and PHEV was demonstrated
