Figure Lengend Snippet: A dCas9‐KRAB expressing iBMDMs, without (i.e. dCas9 alone) or with HRS‐targeting sgRNAs (i.e., sg1, sg2 or sg3) were treated for 48 h with 1 μg/ml doxycycline (Dox) to induce sgRNA expression. Cells were then left untreated (UT), or treated with 20 μg/ml DMXAA or 10 μg/ml 2′3′‐cGAM(PS)2 for 6 h. Cells were lysed for immunoblot with the indicated antibodies. Data shown are representative of three independent experiments. B, C dCas9‐KRAB expressing iBMDMs, without (i.e. dCas9 alone) or with HRS‐targeting sgRNAs (i.e. sg1, sg2 or sg3) were treated for 48 h with 1 μg/ml Dox to induce sgRNA expression. Cells were then left UT, or treated with 20 μg/ml DMXAA or 5 μg/ml 2′3′‐cGAM(PS)2 for 6 h. Cell supernatant was collected and assayed for secreted IFNβ (B) and IL6 (C) by ELISA. Data are shown as mean ± SEM combined from N = 3 independent experiments. Statistical analysis was performed using two‐way ANOVA using Bonferroni's multiple comparisons test, where * P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001. n.d., not detected. D–F dCas9‐KRAB expressing iBMDMs, without (i.e. dCas9 alone) or with HRS‐targeting sgRNAs (i.e. sg1, sg2 or sg3) were treated for 24 h with 1 μg/ml Dox to induce sgRNA expression. iBMDMs were further treated with 1 μg/ml (i.e. 1,000 ng/ml) or 100 ng/ml H‐151 as indicated and incubated for a further 24 h. Cells were lysed for RNA purification and the expression of Ifnb1 (D), Isg15 (E) and Irf7 (F) was analysed by qPCR. Data are shown as mean ± SEM combined from N = 3 independent experiments. Statistical analysis was performed using two‐way ANOVA using Tukey's multiple comparisons test, where * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001. Bars display significant differences between dCas9 and sgRNA knockdowns in the absence of H‐151. Additional asterisks represent significant differences between the absence or presence of H‐151 across the same cell line. Source data are available online for this figure.
Article Snippet: The monoclonal rat anti‐mouse IFNβ (USBiological Life Sciences; 138027) was used as a coating antibody, while the polyclonal rabbit anti‐mouse IFNβ (PBL Assay Science; 32400‐1) was used for detection.
