a The poly(A:T)-mediated IFN antiviral pathway is suppressed in Otud1−/−-MEFs. Otud1+/+- and Otud1−/−-MEF cells were stimulated with 1 μg/ml poly(A:T) for the indicated periods, and the cell lysates were immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. b The expression of IRF3-target genes is suppressed in poly(A:T)-treated Otud1−/−-MEF cells. MEFs were stimulated with 1 μg/ml poly(A:T) for the indicated periods, and the mRNA levels were assessed by qPCR. c The suppressed poly(I:C)-mediated antiviral response in Otud1−/−-MEFs. Otud1+/+-- and Otud1−/−-MEFs were stimulated with 10 μg/ml poly(I:C) for the indicated periods, and cell lysates were immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. d Reduced poly(I:C)-mediated antiviral response in Otud1−/−-BMDMs. BMDMs from Otud1+/+-- and Otud1−/−-mice were stimulated with 10 μg/ml poly(I:C) for the indicated periods, and a qPCR analysis was performed. e, f Sendai virus (SeV)-induced antiviral response is suppressed in Otud1−/−-cells. Otud1+/+-- and Otud1−/−-MEFs (e) or BMDMs (f) were infected with SeV at a CIU of 10 for 1 h, incubated for the indicated periods, and then subjected to qPCR analyses. b, d–f Data are shown as mean ± SD by ANOVA post-hoc Tukey test (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, NS: not significant. g–i Suppressed transcription of IRF3-target genes in Otud1−/−-MEFs. Otud1+/+- and Otud1−/−-MEFs were stimulated with 10 μg/ml poly(I:C) for 2 and 4 h, and RNA-seq analyses were performed. g A principal component analysis of the RNA-seq analysis. h Taking the cutoff value of 10, significantly varied mRNAs are shown by the heatmaps. i Taking the cutoff value of 3.0, pathway analyses of 179 down-regulated genes were performed by MSigDB Hallmark 2020 and listed in ascending order of P-value.
