NS1 of Influenza A/Shantou/602/06 (H3N2) induces nucleolar stress depending on its association with NCL. (A) Immunofluorescence staining of NS1 Mutant (218–230 aa truncated mutant) (Green), or NCL (Red) in A549 cells. (B) Lysates from mock-transfected, NS1-transfected or NS1 Mutant-transfected A549 cells were subjected to immunoprecipitation using anti-Flag antibody and immunoblotted with anti-NCL or anti-Flag antibodies. 5% cell lysate was served as input. (C) Cell lysates harvested 36 h post-transfection were processed for western blot with p53 antibody. β-actin was used as the loading control. (D) RT-qPCR analysis of pre-45S rRNA and p21 (E) in transfected A549 cells. Results show the mean of the three experiments ± SD and are normalized to the β-actin gene. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (t-test).
