Figure Lengend Snippet: TSN treatment upregulates the mRNA expressions of IFNs and IRF1, and the protein expression of IRF1 in PAMs. 0.014 MOI ASFV infected the PAMs for 6, 12, and 24 h to test its effect on the expression level of IFNs (IFNα, IFNβ and IFNγ) and IRF1. Besides, 1 μM TSN was added to PAMs with or without ASFV infection (0.014 MOI) for 6, 12, and 24 h to test its effect on the expression levels of IFNs (IFNα, IFNβ and IFNγ) and IRF1. The vertical axis shows the relative expression level (fold-change) of IFNs or IRF1 mRNA. The fold-changes were calculated by the 2 ∆∆CT method and normalized by IFNβ or IRF1 levels at 24 h in mock or ASFV group. (A) The mRNA levels of IFNα, IFNβ and IFNγ in PAMs with ASFV infection at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using RT-qPCR. (B) The mRNA level of IRF1 in PAMs with ASFV infection at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using RT-qPCR. (C) The protein level of IRF1 in PAMs with ASFV infection at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using Western Blot. (D) The mRNA levels of IFNα, IFNβ and IFNγ in PAMs with or without TSN treatment at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using RT-qPCR. (E) The mRNA level of IRF1 in PAMs with or without TSN treatment at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using RT-qPCR. (F) The protein level of IRF1 in PAMs with or without TSN treatment at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using Western Blot. (G) The mRNA levels of IFNα, IFNβ and IFNγ in ASFV-infected PAMs with or without TSN treatment at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using RT-qPCR. (H) The mRNA level of IRF1 in ASFV-infected PAMs with or without TSN treatment at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using RT-qPCR. (I) The protein level of IRF1 in ASFV-infected PAMs with or without TSN treatment at 6, 12, and 24 h was analyzed using Western Blot. *** denotes p < 0.001; ** denotes p < 0.01; * denotes p < 0.05; ns denotes not significant.
