Table 5.
Effects of the siRNA treatment for PDI1, PDIA3, PDIA4 or Grp78 on the replication of A/WS/33 in MDCK cells determined by real time qRT-PCR at 2 and 12 hr after virus inoculation.
| siRNA | Relative viral RNA levels compared to mock transfection* | |
|---|---|---|
| A/WS/33 | ||
| 2 hr | 12 hr | |
| Mock (water) | 100 | 100 |
| PDI1 (P4HB, PDIA1) | 92 (3.3) | 9 (1.4)# |
| PDIA3 (Erp57) | 96 (1.9) | 12 (3.1) # |
| PDIA4 (Erp72) | 103 (2.7) | 7 (2.9)# |
| Grp78 (BiP) | 94 (3.8) | 18 (4.3)# |
| Irrelevant siRNA | 102 (2.7) | 93 (2.7) |
The relative RNA levels of the virus M gene following the siRNA treatment were determined as percentage relative to the mock transfection following normalization with β actin.
Statistically significant differences from the mock (p < 0.05). The numbers in parentheses are standard deviations of the means.
