Silencing CCT5 inhibits influenza virus replication in DF-1 cells. (A) DF-1 cells were transfected with siCCT5#1 or NC for 12 h, and the cell viability was measured by CCK-8. (B) Growth curves of H5N6-WT and H5N6-GFP virus were determined in CCT5 knockdown DF-1 cells. (C,D) Effect of overexpressed or suppressed CCT5 on viral RNA (vRNA) synthesis. DF-1 cells transfected with CCT5-Flag or siCCT5#1 followed by infection with 0.1 MOI H5N6-GFP virus. The levels of nucleoprotein (NP) vRNA, complementary RNA (cRNA), and mRNA were determined by real-time PCR. (E,F) NP protein levels were also monitored by Western blot analysis. GAPDH was used as a loading control and marker. GAPDH was used as a loading control for protein. Chicken ACTIN gene was used to normalize mRNA expression (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; from three independent experiments by t-tests).
