Figure Legend Snippet: (A-B) IFN-β and NF-κB promoter activities are downregulated in DF-1 TLR3 KO cells but can be rescued by exogenous expression of TLR3. DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were co-transfected with pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng) plasmids (A) , or with pSI-chNFκB-Luc (50 ng) plasmid (B) together with different amounts (100, 200, 400 or 800 ng) of the plasmid expressing chTLR3-His. At 8 h pt the cells were transfected with 250 ng of Poly I:C, and harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection. A control consisting in cells co-transfected with pLucter, pR-null and the empty pCDNA3, or with the pSI-chNFκB-Luc, and the empty pCDNA3 plasmid (800 ng) was included in each assay. The samples were analyzed by the dual luciferase assay kit. Each determination was carried out in duplicate, and the firefly luciferase expression level of each sample was normalized by Renilla values. Results are expressed as the fold induction over the level found in the control DF-1 or DF-1 TLR3 KO cells not transfected with poly I:C. (C-D) DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were transfected with the plasmids pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng) (C) or with the plasmid pSI-chNFκB-Luc (50 ng) (D). At 8 h pt, cells were either treated with Poly I:C (20 µg) added directly to the culture medium or transfected with increasing amounts (100, 200 and 300 ng) of Poly I:C. The samples were harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection and used for luciferase activity quantification. (E) DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were transfected with a siRNA specifically silencing the expression of MDA5 protein, or with a control siRNA. At 24 h pt, the cultures were transfected with the plasmids pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng) and 8 h later cells were either treated with poly I:C (20μg) or transfected with increasing amounts (100, 200 and 300 ng) of Poly I:C. The samples were harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection and used for luciferase assay. (F) DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were transfected with the plasmids pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng). At 8 h pt, cells were transfected with 250 ng of Poly I:C and subsequently treated with BFA (50μM) or the vehicle DMSO 1 h later. The samples were harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection and analyzed using the dual luciferase assay kit. In panels C-F values are presented as the fold induction over the level found in the control DF-1 or DF-1 TLR3 KO cells not treated with Poly I:C. Bars indicate means ± standard deviations based on data of duplicate samples from three independent experiments. *, ** and *** indicate p values of <0.05, <0.01 and <0.001, respectively, as determined by unpaired Student’s test. ns, not significant.
