Decreased STAT3 levels are utilized by SeMet to suppress PDCoV replication. (A) Expression level of viral mRNAs was analyzed by qRT-PCR when transfected with pcDNA3.1-STAT3, empty vector, siSTAT3, siRNA-NC, DMSO, Stattic (0.75 μM) (n=6). (B) Cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-vector or pcDNA3.1-STAT3, followed by treatment with SeMet and PDCoV. Viral mRNA expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR (n=6). (C) Expression level of viral mRNAs was analyzed by qRT-PCR when transfected with siSTAT3 and miR-125b-5p-1 inhibitor followed by infection with PDCoV (n=6). Means ± SD are shown. Statistical significiance was determined by Student t test. ***, P<0.001; **, P<0.01; *, P<0.05; n.s, not significant. All experiments were repeated at least twice and representative results are shown.
