Fig 4. miR-125b does not induce the IFN pathway.

(A) MARC-145 cells were co-transfected with IFN-β-Luc, pRL-TK, and 30 nM of miR-125b mimic or NC mimic. 24 h post-transfection, selected wells were transfected with poly(I:C) (2 µg/mL). After another 24 h, cells were lysed for dual-luciferase assay. (B) MARC-145 cells were transfected with miR-125b mimic (30 nM), NC mimic (30 nM), poly(I:C) (1 µg/mL), or mock-transfected. At 24 h post transfection, cells were infected with VSV-GFP at MOI of 0.0001. Cells were fixed at 24 h post-infection and cellular nuclei were counterstained with 1 µg/mL of DAPI. Fluorescence was observed under an LSM-510 Meta confocal fluorescence microscope (Zeiss).

Fig 6. The inter-relationship among miR-125b, NF-κB activation and PRRSV replication.

(A) Overexpression of the NF-κB p65 subunit promotes PRRSV replication and partially antagonizes miR-125b’s effect on PRRSV. MARC-145 cells were cotransfected with a control vector or vector encoding p65 (1.0 µg) and 60 nM of miR-125b mimic or inhibitor. The transfected cells were infected with PRRSV WUH3 strain (MOI  =  0.01) 24 h later. Cells were collected at 48 h post-infection for plaque assay on MARC-145 cells. Virus titers were expressed as PFU/mL. Representative plaque results from three independent experiments are shown in left panel and the average results are illustrated on the right. **P<0.01 and *P<0.05 as compared with cells transfected with the control vector. (B, C) Pretreatment with the NF-κB inhibitor BAY11-7082 reduces PRRSV replication in MARC-145 cells (2.5 µM, 5.0 µM and 10µM of BAY11-7082, panel B) and PAMs (5 µM, panel C). Cells were pretreated with BAY11-7082 for 1 h prior to PRRSV infection. At 48 h post-infection, cells were collected and virus titers were determined by plaque assay on MARC-145 cells. (D) The time-course expression of miR-125b after PRRSV infection. MARC-145 cells infected with PRRSV at a MOI of 0.1 were collected at the indicated time points and qRT-PCR analysis was performed to detect miR-125b expression. The miR-125b expression level at 6 h in mock-infected cells was used as the baseline (1.0) for comparison.
