Figure Lengend Snippet: HTATSF1 mediates viral nucleic acid- but not IFN-β-triggered signaling. (A) Effects of HTATSF1-deficiency on transcription of downstream genes induced by viral nucleic acid mimics. The control (g NC ) and HTATSF1-deficient (g HTATSF1 ) THP-1 cells (1 × 10 6 ) were untransfected or transfected with HT-DNA (2 μg/mL) or poly(I:C) (2 μg/mL) for the indicated times before RT-qPCR analysis to measure mRNA levels of the indicated genes. (B) Effects of HTATSF1-deficiency on transcription of downstream genes induced by cGAMP. The control (g NC ) and HTATSF1-deficient (g HTATSF1 ) THP-1 cells (1 × 10 6 ) were left untreated or treated with 2′3′-cGAMP (40 nM) for the indicated times before RT-qPCR analysis to measure mRNA levels of the indicated genes. (C) Effects of HTATSF1-deficiency on IFN-β-induced phosphorylation of STAT1. The control (g NC ) and HTATSF1-deficient (g HTATSF1 ) THP-1 cells (1 × 10 6 ) were left untreated or treated with IFN-β (100 ng/mL) for the indicated times before immunoblotting analysis with the indicated antibodies. (D) Effects of HTATSF1-deficiency on transcription of downstream genes induced by IFN-β. The control (g NC ) and HTATSF1-deficient (g HTATSF1 ) THP-1 cells (1 × 10 6 ) were left untreated or treated with IFN-β (100 ng/mL) for 2 h before RT-qPCR analysis to measure mRNA levels of the indicated genes. Data shown are mean ± SEM ( n = 3 technical replicates) from one representative experiment ( (A) , ( B) , (D) ), which were repeated for at least two times with similar results. n.s., not significant; ∗∗, P < 0.01 (unpaired t -test).
