    IFITMs modulate HCoV-OC43 infection of HepG2 and C3A cells to a similar extent and via the same mechanism. HepG2 and C3A cells were stably transduced with a control retroviral vector (pQCXIP) or a retroviral vector expressing an N-terminally FLAG-tagged IFITM1-EX2 or IFITM3-EX2. The resulting cell lines were infected with HCoV-OC43 at 0.5 MOI. (A) Cells were fixed at 24 hpi and virally infected cells were visualized by IF staining of HCoV-OC43 N protein (green). Cell nuclei were visualized by DAPI staining (blue). (B) HCoV-OC43 NP and exogenously expressed N-terminally FLAG-tagged IFITM proteins and total intracellular IFITM2/3 were determined by Western blotting assays with a monoclonal antibody against the FLAG tag and a rabbit <t>polyclonal</t> antibody against IFITM2/3. β-actin served as a loading control. (C) Intracellular viral RNA was quantified by a qRT-PCR assay and presented as copies per 100 ng total RNA. Error bars indicate standard deviations ( n = 4). (D) Viral yields were determined with a plaque assay. Error bars indicate standard deviations ( n = 4). (E) HepG2 and C3A stably transduced with a control retroviral vector (pQCXIP) or a retroviral vector expressing IFITM1, IFITM1-EX2, or IFITM3-EX2 were infected with HCoV-OC43pp. Luciferase activities were determined at 72 hpi. Relative infection represents the luciferase activity normalized to that of HepG2 cells transduced with empty vector (pQCXIP). Error bars indicate standard deviations ( n = 6).

    LY6E efficiently suppresses human coronavirus spike-protein-mediated entry. (A) Levels of Ly6E, GILT, and ADAP2 mRNA expression in HepG2 and C3A cells were determined by qRT-PCR assays and normalized to the level of GAPDH. (B) Flp-In T-Rex 293-derived cell lines expressing control protein CAT, GILT, or ADAP2 were cultured in the absence or presence of tet for 24 h. The cells were infected with HCoV-OC43pp and other indicated pseudoviral particles and intracellular luciferase activity were determined at 48 hpi. Relative infection is the ratio of luciferase activity in the same cells cultured in the presence of tet over that in the absence of tet. The error bars refer to standard deviations ( n = 4). (C) Flp-In T-Rex 293-derived cell line expressing a control protein CAT or LY6E were cultured in the absence or presence of tet. Cells were harvested at 24 h after the addition of tet. The cellular expression of LY6E was detected by a Western blot assay. β-actin served as a loading control. (D) Flp-In T-Rex 293-derived cell lines expressing LY6E were cultured in the absence or presence of tet for 24 h. The cells were then infected with lentiviral particles pseudotyped with the envelope protein of the indicated viruses. Luciferase activities were determined at 48 hpi. Relative infection is the ratio of luciferase activity in the same cells cultured in the presence of tet over that in the absence of tet.

    LY6E inhibits HCoV-OC43 infection in human hepatoma (HepG2 and C3A) and lung cancer (A549) cells. (A) HepG2 cells were stably transduced with scramble shRNA or shRNA targeting LY6E mRNA. The level of cellular LY6E expression was determined by Western blotting using a rabbit polyclonal antibody against LY6E. β-actin served as a loading control. (B) HepG2 cells stably expressing the scramble shRNA or LY6E-specific shRNA were infected with HCoV-OC43 at an MOI of 1.0. Cells were harvested at 24 hpi and intracellular viral RNA was quantified by qRT-PCR assay and presented as copies per 100 ng total RNA. Error bars indicate standard deviations ( n = 4). Differences in viral RNA between scramble or LY6E-specific shRNA-expressing cells were analyzed statistically (**, P < 0.001; Student’s t test). (C to F) C3A or A549 cells were stably transduced with an empty retroviral vector (pQCXIP) or retroviral vector expressing LY6E and infected with HCoV-OC43 at the indicated MOI. The expression of LY6E in the cell lines was confirmed by a Western blot assay. β-actin served as a loading control (C and E). The cells were fixed at 24 hpi. The infected cells were visualized by IF staining of HCoV-OC43 N protein (red); cell nuclei were visualized by DAPI staining (D and F).

Dendrograms are normalized read data (row z-score) clustered with complete linkage method employing Spearman Rank correlation distance measurement. c , Pathway analysis of KO versus WT. Up-(red) or down-regulated (blue) pathways indicated by activation z-score. Numbers show significantly dysregulated genes as percentage of total gene number included in pathway. d-e , Expression of select genes in liver ( d ) and spleen ( e ). f-g , Immune cell counts from liver ( f ) and spleen ( g ). h , Infection of cultured splenocytes. For a-e , n=3. For f-g , n=8 MHV-injected, n=4 PBS-injected from two pooled experiments. For h , n=3 ( Ly6e fl/fl and Ly6e ΔHSC ) or n=2 ( Ifnar −/− ) from two pooled experiments. Significance for f-h was determined by two-tailed unpaired student’s t-test with Welch’s correction. Error bars: SD ( d-h ).

    Depicted are fold changes in liver and spleen gene expression from Ly6e ΔHSC mice compared to Ly6e fl/fl mice. RPKM values from RNAseq data for liver ( a ) and spleen ( b ) were used to calculate fold changes. Crossed out genes were not detected in either KO or WT mice at respective conditions.
