NS1 of influenza A/Shantou/602/06 (H3N2) induces nucleolar stress in host cells. A549 cells grown in 6-well plates were mock-transfected or transfected with NS1 for 36 h. (A) Cell lysates were immunoblotted with anti-p53 antibody and anti-Flag antibody. β-Actin was served as a loading control. RT-qPCR analysis of pre-45S rRNA (B) and p21 (C) in mock-transfected or NS1-transfected A549 cells. Results show the mean of the three experiments ± SD and are normalized to the β-actin gene. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 (t-test). (D) Co-immunoprecipitation of RPL11 (upper panel) and RPL23 (lower panel) with MDM2 in mock-transfected or NS1-transfected A549 cells. For each, 5% cell lysate was applied as input.
