Figure 6. KSHV miRNAs induce reactive nitrogen species (RNS) secretion by macrophages.

Figure 6

(A) RAW cells were transfected with 2'OMe RNA antagomirs targeting miR-K12-1, miR-K12-9, and miR-K12-11 or all three together (mi1/9/11). Cells were subsequently incubated with purified KSHV (K) and nitrite quantified within culture supernatants as described in Methods. (B) Cells were transfected with control or miRNA-expressing vectors and nitrite quantified within culture supernatants at the times indicated. (C) Cells were co-transfected with either control or miRNA-expression constructs without (mock) or with specific 2'OMe RNA antagomirs. As an additional control, some cells were transfected with an antagomir targeting miR-K12-12 which is not expressed by the miRNA-expressing construct. For all assays, error bars represent the S.E.M. for three independent experiments. * = p<0.05, * * = p<0.01.
