Figure 10. Effect of downmodulation of CIB proteins in PM1 cells on the expression of HIV-1 co-receptors.

Figure 10

PM1 cells were transduced with the empty vector (pLKO.1) or vectors leading to the expression of the indicated shRNAs. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA was synthesized for quantification of CIB1, CIB2 and GAPDH mRNA levels. The ratio of CIB1/GAPDH mRNA (A) and CIB2/GAPDH mRNA (B) are expressed relative to those of non-transduced (NT) PM1 cells. The surface expression of CCR5 (C) and CXCR4 (D) was measured by flow cytometry. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) values represent the mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments and are expressed relative to values obtained for non-transduced cells. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus sh-SCRAM (One-way ANOVA).
