Figure Lengend Snippet: HSPA14 can interfere the HIV-1 replication (A) Jurkat cells were transfected with indicated plasmids. 24 hours post-transfection, cells were infected with HIV pseudovirus. 24 hours post-infection, cells were harvested to isolate total RNA and protein, and culture supernatants were collected. Upper left panel: qRT-PCR analysis showing different dose of HSP14 over-expression in Jurkat cells. Upper right panel: Culture supernatants were examined for amount of virus produced using p24 antigen capture ELISA. Middle left panel: qRT-PCR analysis revealing change of p24 mRNA levels. Middle right panel and lower panel: representative western blot and densitometry analysis revealing change of p24 protein levels. (B) CEM cells were transfected with indicated plasmids as Jurkat cells. Upper left panel: qRT-PCR analysis showing different dose of HSP14 over-expression in CEM cells. Upper right panel: Culture supernatants were examined for amount of virus produced using p24 antigen capture ELISA. Middle left panel: qRT-PCR analysis revealing change of p24 mRNA levels. Middle right panel and lower panel: representative western blot and densitometry analysis revealing change of p24 protein levels. (C) Jurkat cells were transfected with indicated RNAi. 24 hours post-transfection, cells were infected with HIV pseudovirus. 24 hours post-infection, cells were harvested to isolate total RNA and protein, and culture supernatants were collected. Upper left panel: qRT-PCR analysis showing different dose of HSP14 knockdown in Jurkat cells. Upper right panel: Culture supernatants were examined for amount of virus produced using p24 antigen capture ELISA. Middle left panel: qRT-PCR analysis revealing change of p24 mRNA levels. Middle right panel and lower panel: representative western blot and densitometry analysis revealing change of p24 protein levels. (D) CEM cells were transfected with indicated RNAi as Jurkat cells. Upper left panel: qRT-PCR analysis showing different dose of HSP14 knockdown in CEM cells. Upper right panel: Culture supernatants were examined for amount of virus produced using p24 antigen capture ELISA. Middle left panel: qRT-PCR analysis revealing change of p24 mRNA levels. Middle right panel and lower panel: representative western blot and densitometry analysis revealing change of p24 protein levels. Control: cell lines were transfected with vector plasmids as control. Blank: cell lines were not transfected with any plasmids as blank control. +: 500ng/μl of HSPA14 overexpression plasmid, ++: 1μg/μl of HSPA14 overexpression plasmid, +++: 2μg/μl of HSPA14 overexpression plasmid. -: 50nM of HSPA14 shRNA plasmi, –: 100nM of HSPA14 shRNA plasmid, —: 200nM of HSPA14 shRNA plasmid.The error bars are presented as the mean ± SD values and significance is defined as *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01 and ***P ≤ 0.001.
