NS1ABP protein expression is modulated by miRNA 548an. (A) Flow cytometry analysis of A549 cells transfected for 48 h with 50 nM miRNA-548an inhibitor or scrambled oligonucleotide. (B) Flow cytometry analysis of A549 cells transfected for 48 h with 25 nM miRNA-548an mimic or scrambled oligonucleotide. (C) Flow cytometry analysis of A549 cells transfected for 48 h with 50 nM miRNA-548an inhibitor and then infected with 1 MOI of influenza for 3 h. Expression of NS1ABP protein in cells transfected with the miRNA-548an inhibitor (green line), or scrambled oligonucleotide as control (black line) is shown. (D) Flow cytometry analysis in A549 cells transfected for 48 h with miRNA-548an mimic (green line) or scrambled oligonucleotide (black line) and then infected with 1 MOI of influenza for 3 h. The gray shaded or red shaded regions in the graph represent the isotype control. (E) Geometric mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) was measured from 3 independent experiments with triplicate replicates. ###=p<0.001whencomparing cells transfected with inhibitor to cells transfected with the scrambled oligonucleotide; ##=p<0.01when comparing cells transfected with mimic to cells transfected with the scrambled oligonucleotide **=p<0.01 when comparing cells transfected with mimic or inhibitor.
