Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. The cellular AMPK expression and phosphorylation level. AMPK protein expressions and phosphorylation in HeLa and KO HeLa cells with or without viral infection were detected with Western blotting. (A) The expression and phosphorylation of AMPK protein on KO HeLa cells compared with HeLa cells. (B) The expression and phosphorylation of AMPK protein on HeLa cells after viral infection. (C) The expression and phosphorylation of AMPK protein on KO HeLa cells after viral infection.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Model of lipid metabolism and vimentin on H9N2 subtype AIV. When vimentin was knocked down, the phosphorylation level of AMPK was decreased, resulting in the decreased level of HMGCR phosphorylation, which increased the enzyme activity, thereby increasing cholesterol. After the destruction of lipid rafts, the virus binding was inhibited, and cholesterol helped to stabilize the structure of lipid rafts, which might help the virus bind to cells.
