PPMO-mediated suppression of PRRSV replication in porcine alveolar macrophages. (A) Protection of PAM from PRRSV CPE development. Infection of PAM with VR2385 led to severe CPE development (see +VR2385, −PPMO) in comparison with uninfected control cells (−VR2385, −PPMO). Application of PPMO 5UP2, 5HP, or a combination of 6P1 + 7P1 at 16 μM resulted in inhibition of CPE development, while CP1 did not. (B) Reduced PRRSV infection in PAM detected by IFA with SDOW17 antibody. Specific fluorescence is clearly visible at 12 h after VR2385 inoculation. Treatment with PPMO 5UP2, 5HP, 6P1 + 7P1 resulted in reduction of virus replication, while CP1 did not. The images below the green fluorescence images were taken with a DAPI filter to show the total number of living cells. (C) Titration of virus yield from PAM cells after PRRSV infection and PPMO treatment. Virus titers are shown as TCID50 (log10/ml). “Mock” sample is virus inoculation with no PPMO treatment. Statistical significance of the difference in viral yield compared to mock-treatment *P < 0.05. The experiment was repeated three times and error bars are shown.
