Activated expression of endogenous BST-2 by lentiviral CRISPR transduction. (A) HOS cells were cotransduced with lentiviruses expressing dCas9-VP64, MS2-p65-HSF1, and either BST-2-targeting sgRNA (sgBST2) #1, #2, or the combination of #1 and #2 (sgBST2#1, sgBST2#2, or sgBST2#1/2, respectively). Cell extracts derived from transduced HOS cells were subjected to immunoblot analyses using an anti-BST-2 polyclonal antibody. β-actin was used as a loading control. (B) HOS cells transduced in A were cloned (designated HOS-sgBST2#x-x) and RNAs extracted from resultant cells were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Data were normalized to those of the housekeeping gene RPL27 mRNA and are shown as a fold difference in BST-2 copies compared with those in HeLa cells (mean ± s.d. from three independent experiments). (C,D) Control and cloned HOS cells together with HeLa cells were analyzed for cell-surface expression of BST-2 by flow cytometry (C) or for its intracellular expression by immunofluorescence (D; bars, 10 μm) using anti-BST-2 polyclonal antibodies.
