DENV infection activates cGAS through the release of mtDNA into the cytosol. (A) cGAMP activity measured in A549 lysates incubated with 1 μg/ml DENV-derived RNA or 1 μg/ml poly(dA:dT). (B) Cellular localization of mitochondria (red) in A549 cells infected with DENV2-PDK53 at MOI 1 for 72 hrs. (C) Fold induction of levels of mitochondria-specific DNA sequences mtCOI, mtND4, and mtCytB present in the cytosol of A549 cells infected with DENV2-PDK53 at MOI 1 and MOI 5 or treated with 4 μg/ml tunicamycin. (D) Percentage of Annexin V positive cells in A549 cells infected with DENV2-PDK53 at MOI 0.1 or MOI 1 for 48 hrs, assessed by flow cytometry. In this figure, *depicts P < 0.05; **depicts P < 0.01 and ***depicts P < 0.001.
