Respiratory Syncytial Virus Nonstructural Protein 1 Promotes 5-Lipoxygenase via miR-19a-3p
Figure 3
Inhibition of miR-19a-3p attenuated the promotive effects of NS1 on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) expression. (a–c) The mRNA expression levels of miR-19a-3p, IL-5, and 5-LO in A549 cells transfected with pNS1 were detected by RT-qPCR four hours after transfection. U6 RNA or GADPH was used as internal control, respectively. (d) Concentrations of leukotriene B4 in the supernatants of A549 cells were detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data are expressed as ( technical replicates). The experiment was performed three times with similar results, and one representative experiment is shown. vs. control group. LTB4: leukotriene B4; 5-LO: 5-lipoxygenase; IL-5: interleukin-5; pNS1: nonstructural protein 1 expressing plasmid.
