a, Immunoblot of WT and SLC25A33-Myc-Flag (A33-MycFlag) expressing HeLa cells treated with 40 µM ddC for 72 h (n = 1). b,c, Total and cytosolic mtDNA level in WT and SLC25A33–MycFlag (A33-MycFlag) expressing HeLa cells (n = 3 independent cultures (b) and n = 8 independent cultures (c)). d,e, ISG expression in WT and A33-MycFlag expressing HeLa cells treated with 40 µM ddC for 72 h analysed by RT–qPCR (d, n = 6 independent cultures) and RNA-Seq (e, n = 3 independent cultures). One hundred and eighty-one ISGs of 263 genes are upregulated (log2(fold change) ≥1) in A33-MycFlag versus WT cells in the absence of ddC. The heatmap depicts the relative expression of 181 ISGs in ddC-treated A33-MycFlag versus ddC-treated WT cells. f, ISG expression in WT and A33-MycFlag expressing HeLa cells treated with indicated esiRNAs (n = 3 independent cultures). P values calculated using two-tailed unpaired t-test (b,c) or two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test (d,f). Data are means ± s.e.m.
