Figure Legend Snippet: Susceptibility of the nine different SARS-CoV-2 strains to inhibitors of TMPRSS2-mediated fusion and cathepsin-mediated endocytosis. SARS-CoV-2 European wild-type (B.1.1), variant-of-concern (VOC) Alpha (B1.1.7 Q27*K68*, B.1.1.7 Q27*), Delta (AY.33), and Omicron (BA.1.17.2, BA.1.1, BA.2.9, BE.1.1, BA.5.1) were propagated in four human cell lines (Calu-3, Caco-2, A549 hACE2+/TMPRSS2+ , HEK293T) in the presence of increasing concentrations (0.024-100 µM) of camostat, an inhibitor of TMPRSS2-mediated viral direct fusion with cellular membrane (green curve), aloxistatin, an inhibitor of cathepsin-mediated viral endocytic uptake (pink curve), and a 1:1 mixture of both inhibitors (black curve). Viral load was determined in cell culture supernatants 48h p.i. using RT-qPCR and are presented as log 10 RNA copies/ml. Controls included cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the absence of inhibitors (“virus control”, VC), and cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and exposed to SARS-CoV-2 (“background control”, BG), shown as dashed horizontal lines. Data show mean and standard error of three independent experiments.

Figure Legend Snippet: Degree of direct TMRPSS2-mediated fusion and cathepsin-mediated endocytic uptake of the nine different SARS-CoV-2 strains in four different cell lines. Calculation of the reduction in viral load induced by aloxistatin (pink columns) and camostat (green columns) at the non-toxic concentration of 25 µM as % inhibition induced by the mixture of the two inhibitors for Calu-3 cells (A) , HEK293T cells (B) , Caco-2 cells (C) and A549 hACE2+/TMPRSS2+ cells (D) . A higher percentage indicates a stronger role of the respective mode of entry for the respective virus strain. In A549 hACE2+/TMPRSS2+ cells, strains BA.1.17.2 and BA.1.1 were non-replicative (n.r.). In HEK293T cells, virus replication was observed for strains BE.1.1 and BA.5.1 only. Statistics was performed using two-way ANOVA with Šidák’s correction to account for multiple comparisons. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001.

![Application of the dsRNA biosensor to different viral infections. Positive-sense ssRNA viruses [Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), SARS-CoV-2], negative-sense ssRNA viruses [Rabies virus (RABV), La Crosse virus (LACV)], dsRNA viruses [Rotavirus A (RVA), Nelson Bay orthoreovirus (NBV)], DNA viruses [Mpox virus (MPXV), and Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)] were inoculated onto monolayers of Vero (CHIKV, LACV, NBV, MPXV and <t>HSV-1),</t> <t>Vero-TMPRSS2</t> (SARS-CoV-2), BHK-21 (RABV), and MA104-T2T11D cells (RVA). ( A ) Immunofluorescence analysis of the cells at 24 hpi except for cells infected with MPXV, which was at 48 hpi. Cells were stained with Hoechst 33,342 nuclear dye (blue), antibodies targeting dsRNA (green) and virus proteins (red). Scale bars, 50 μm. ( B ) Luciferase assay with the dsRNA biosensor was used to measure dsRNA in RNA extracts from mock-infected and virus-infected cells. The values shown are mean ± SD of triplicate samples. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001 by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test](https://pub-med-central-images-cdn.bioz.com/pub_med_central_ids_ending_with_2233/pmc12822233/pmc12822233__13036_2025_601_Fig2_HTML.jpg)
