Antiviral activity of PCME treatment is not mediated through influence on DENV replication, translation, or virion release. (A) Treatment effect of PCME on DENV intracellular replication. DENV genomic RNA was extracted from DENV-infected Vero cells following 3 days of drug treatment and quantitated using qRT-PCR; DENV MOI = 0.1. (B) Luciferase reporter analysis reflecting viral replication/translation from subgenomic DENV replicon Huh7.D2-FLuc-SGR-Neo cells treated with PCME for 3 days. Data are presented in log10 of relative light units. (C) Effect of PCME on DENV proteins expression from Western blotting analysis of lysates obtained from DENV-infected Vero cells following 3 days of drug treatment. DENV MOI = 0.1; β-actin served as loading control. (D) Effect of PCME on DENV release via Western blotting analysis of supernatants from DENV-infected cells after 3 days of drug treatment. PCME = 30 μg/ml; Ribavirin = 200 μM; DMSO = 0.06%. Data shown are means ± SEM (*P < 0.05) or representative immunoblots from 3 independent experiments.
