EV-D68 infection changes SIRT-1’s subcellular localization

H1HeLa cells were transfected with either scramble control or SIRT-1 siRNAs for 48 h. The cells were then infected with EV-D68 (MOI = 0.1) for 5 h. The intracellular (A) and extracellular (B) particles were collected for plaque assay. (C) Cells were transfected with the indicated plasmids for 24 h before being infected with EV-D68 (MOI = 0.1) for 5 h. The extracellular particles were collected and analyzed by a plaque assay. (D) H1HeLa cells were infected for the indicated time points for IFA analysis against SIRT-1. (E) H1HeLa cells were infected (MOI = 30) for 4 h. Lysates were collected for western blot against SIRT-1. (F) Densitometry quantitation of E.. Error bars denote the mean ± SEM of 3 independent repeats. Unpaired student’s t-test was used for the statistical analyses (**= p< 0.01;* = p ≤ 0.05; ns=not significant.) Scale bar = 6.2 µm.

SIRT-1 promotes autophagy but decreases EV-D68 extracellular titers in autophagy-deficient ATG-7 KO cells

(A) H1HeLa cells were transfected with scramble or SIRT-1 siRNA for 48 h. The cells were subsequently starved or treated with CCCP (10 µM) for 4 h. Lysates were harvested and analyzed by western blot. (B) Cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs for 48 h before being fixed and subjected to IFA against endogenous LC3. (C) H1HeLa and ATG-7 KO cells were infected with 0.1 MOI of EV-D68 for 5h. The extracellular vesicles were isolated as described in the materials and methods and viral titers were determined by a plaque assay. (D) ATG-7 KO cells were transfected with scramble or SIRT-1 siRNAs for 48 h and infected as in C, followed by plaque assay-based viral titer determination. (E) H1Hela cells were infected with EV-D68 (MOI =30) for 4 h. The cells were fixed and immuno-stained with antibodies against SIRT-1 and ATG-7. Error bars denote the mean ± SEM of 3 independent repeats. Unpaired student’s t-test was used for the statistical analyzes (***= p< 0.001; ns=not significant.) Scale bar = 6 µm.

The proviral activity of SIRT-1 is mediated through ER stress

(A) H1HeLa cells were infected with EV-D68 (MOI =0.1) for 30 minutes. The cells were washed and replenished with complete media with or without 2 µM TG for 5 h. Viral titers were determined by plaque assay. (B) Cells were transfected with either scramble control siRNA or SIRT-1 siRNA for 48 h. The cells were infected and treated as in A, and viral extracellular titers were similarly measured by plaque assay. (C and D) Cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs for 48 h for western blot (C) or viral titer determination (D) following EV-D68 infection (MOI =0.1) for 5 h. (E) H1HeLa cells were transfected for 48 h with the indicated siRNAs, and either mock-infected or infected (with EV-D68 MOI =30) for 4 h. Lysates were collected, and a western blot was performed against the indicated proteins. (F) H1HeLa cells were mock-infected, treated with TG for 4 h, or infected with EV-D68 (MOI =30) for 4 h for western blot against XBP1. Error bars indicate mean ± SEM. Unpaired student’s t-test was used for the statistical analysis (***= p< 0.001; **= p< 0.01;* = p ≤ 0.05; ns=not significant.)

Induction of ER stress impairs EV-D68 release in hSABCi-NS1.1 cells

(A) hSABCi-NS1.1 cells were infected with 0.1 MOI of EV-D68 for 30 mins. The cells were washed and replenished with basal media or media containing 2 µM TG for 6 h. Viral titers were determined by plaque assay. (B) hSABCi-NS1.1 cells were mock-infected, infected with EV-D68, and treated with or without TG for 6 h, or treated with TG alone for 6 h. The lysates were harvested and a western blot was performed against the indicated proteins. (C) hSABCi-NS1.1 were pretreated with 50 µM EX527 for 48 h. The cells were then infected with EV-D68 (MOI=0.1) for 6 h for a plaque assay. (D) hSABCi-NS1.1 cells were mock-infected or infected with EV-D68 (MOI =30) for 6 h. The cells were fixed for IFA against endogenous SIRT-1. Error bars represent mean ± SEM. (** = p < 0.01; * = p ≤ 0.05; ns = not significant.). Scale bar = 7.5 µm.

SIRT-1 is critical for PV, but not CVB3, release from cells

(A) H1HeLa cells were mock-infected or infected with PV or CVB 3 for 4 h. The cells were fixed, and IFA was done against SIRT-1 MOI = 30. (B and C) Cells were transfected with scramble or SIRT-1 siRNAs for 48 h before being infected with PV (MOI = 0.1) for 5 h. Viral titers were determined by a plaque assay. (D and E) Cells were transfected and infected with CVB3 as in B. n = 3 independent experiments, and error bars represent mean ± SEM. (*** = p < 0.001; * = p ≤ 0.05; ns = not significant.). Scale bar = 7.5 µm.

SIRT-1 KD reduces Extracellular vesicle-mediated release of infectious EV-D68 viral particles

H1HeLa cells were transfected with SIRT-1 and Scramble siRNAs for 48 h. (A) Cells were infected with EV-D68 (MOI = 0.1) for 5 h, and EVs were isolated for viral titer measurement by plaque assay. (B) Cells were transfected as in A, and the whole-cell lysates (WCL) were collected and prepared for western blot against CD63. (C) H1HeLa cells were transfected with the indicated siRNAs for 48 h. The cells were either left uninfected or infected with MOI 30 of EV-D68 for 4 h. The EVs and WCL were prepared for western blot against the indicated proteins. (D) Cells were plated on cover slides and transfected with scramble or SIRT-1 siRNA for 48 h. The cells were then fixed and subjected to immunofluorescence analysis against CD63. Arrows indicate large CD63 puncta. Error bars indicate mean ± SEM. Unpaired student’s t-test was used for the statistical analysis (**= p< 0.01;* = p ≤ 0.05.) Scale bar = 6.5 µm.
