Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of Nampt is induced by both type-I and type-II IFN, while respone of Sirt6 is restricted to type-I IFN response. (A) Quantification of Nampt mRNA expression, using microarray, in wild-type (wt) and Tyk2 -/- BMDM following mock- (control) and mCMV-infection. (B) Normalized temporal expression (antilog) of Nampt and Sirt6 in mCMV infected wild-type and Ifnb -/- BMDM. The expression was measured over the first 24 h of infection using microarray and compared to timepoint 0. The expression levels between timepoints 0–10 h post-streatment were smoothened and fitted to a linear (+), quadatic (#), or cubic ( ∗ ) polynomal on time to assess significance ( p -values). +/#/∗ p < 0.05, ++/##/∗∗ p < 0.01, and +++/###/∗∗∗ p < 0.001 were considered to be significant (ns, not significant). (C) Normalized temporal expression (antilog) of Nampt and Sirt6 in poly(I:C) treated wild-type and Ifnb -/- BMDM. The expression was measured over the first 24 h using microarray and compared to timepoint 0. The expression levels between timepoints 0–10 h post-streatment were smoothened and fitted to a linear (+), quadatic (#), or cubic ( ∗ ) polynomal on time to assess significance ( p -values). +/#/∗ p < 0.05, ++/##/∗∗ p < 0.01, and +++/###/∗∗∗ p < 0.001 were considered to be significant (ns, not significant). (D) Quantification of de novo synthesis of Nampt, Sirt6, and Srebf2 mRNA in IFNγ-stimulated BMDMs using qRT-PCR. Expression was measured every 30 min for a total of 8 h. (E) Quantification of relative Nampt mRNA expression in wild-type and Stat1 -/- p53-MEF cells, at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 h, using RT-qPCR following IFNγ stimulation ( n = 3). Expression is relative to wild-type untreated (0 h) cells, set as 1 (not shown). One-way ANOVA with a Tukey’s post-test was used to assess statistical signficance to untreated controls. One-way ANOVA with a Sidak’s multiple comparisons test was used to assess statistical signficance between wild-type and Stat1 -/- mutants. Bars represent SEM. Statisical significance between groups (wild-type and Stat1 -/- ) were depicted with ∗ . Statistical significance in relation to untreated controls (wild-type and Stat1 -/- , respectively) were depicted with #. ∗ / # p < 0.05, ∗∗ / ## p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ / ### p < 0.001 were considered to be significant. (F) Quantification of relative Sirt6 mRNA expression in wild-type and Stat1 - / - p53-MEF cells, at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 h, using RT-qPCR following IFNγ stimulation ( n = 3). Expression is relative to wild-type untreated (0 h) cells, set as 1 (not shown). One-way ANOVA with a Tukey’s post-test was used to assess statistical signficance to untreated controls. One-way ANOVA with a Sidak’s multiple comparisons test was used to assess statistical signficance between wild-type and Stat1 -/- mutants. Bars represent SEM. Statisical significance between groups (wild-type and Stat1 -/- ) were depicted with ∗ . Statistical significance in relation to untreated controls (wild-type and Stat1 -/- , respectively) were depicted with #. ∗ / # p < 0.05, ∗∗ / ## p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ / ### p < 0.001 were considered to be significant.
Article Snippet: Cells infected with MCMV or treated with poly(I:C) were harvested at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 h post-treatment for RNA isolation and microarray analysis (Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0ST microarray).
