ORMDL3 regulates the protein abundance of RIG-I.
(A,B) RT-PCR analyses of the expression of the indicated mRNAs in HEK293T cells transfected with EV or ORMDL3 plasmids combined with co-transfection of individual plasmids encoding EV, RIG-I, MAVS, TBK1,IRF3-5D. (C) Results of the qRT-PCR assays showing mRNA levels of IFNB1 CCL5 and ISG54 in HEK293T cells transfected with control or ORMDL3-specific siRNAs followed by secondary transfection with EV or RIG-I-N plasmids. (D) Results of the WB assays show protein levels in HEK293T cells transfected with control or ORMDL3-specific siRNAs followed by secondary transfection with EV or RIG-I-N plasmids. (E) Immunoblot analysis of extracts of 293T cells transfected with expression vector for Flag-RIG-I,RIG-I-N-Myc and Flag-MDA5 IRF3,HA-TBK1, and increasing doses of expression vector for Flag-ORMDL3. (F) Immunoblot analysis of extracts of 293T cells transfected with expression vector for RIG-I-N-Myc and RIG-I-C-Myc and increasing doses of expression vector for Flag-ORMDL3. (G) HEK293T cells were transfected with Flag-RIG-I and ORMDL3-Myc plasmids, as indicated, with or without polyI:C co-transfection. Cell lysates were immunoblotted with a-Flag and a-Myc antibodies. (H) Results of the qRT-PCR.assays showing IFNB1,CCL5,ISG54,IL-6 and TNF mRNA in HEK293T cells transfected with EV or ORMDL3 plasmids together with individual RIG-I-N plasmids for 24 h. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001. Data are representative of at least two independent experiments.
