Effect of RIG-I knockout on poly(dA:dT)-mediated inhibtion of HSV-2 gene expression. End1/E6E7 control cells (V2 control) and RIG-I knockout End1/E6E7 cells (RIG-I−/−) were transfected with or without poly(dA:dT) (0.5μg/ml) for 24h prior to HSV-2 infection (MOI = 0.001). At 24h post HSV-2 infection, cellular RNAs were collected and subjected to the real-time PCR for HSV-2 immediate early genes (A, B), early genes (C, D), and late genes (E, F) expression. The results were measured as HSV-2 gene levels relative (%) to control (without treatment, which is defined as 100%). Data are shown as mean ± SD for three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate that the differences between the indicated groups are statistically significant (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01).
