Figure 3

The expression level of viperin, Mx, and OAS mRNA and protein expression in cultured normal and inflammatory sinonasal epithelial cells obtained from healthy control and patients with CRSwNP, respectively. Their levels were evaluated 24, 48, and 72 h after RV 16 inoculation and poly (I: C) treatment, which were evaluated by RT– qPCR (B, D) and western blot (A, C, E). Right panels located in the figure show representative protein bands evaluated with western blot. Data are mean ± SEM from 7 different epithelial donors. Normal ep + rhinovirus indicates that cultured epithelial cells were infected with RV. Inflam ep + rhinovirus indicates that cultured inflammatory epithelial cells were infected with RV. Normal ep + poly (I: C) means poly (I: C)-treated cultured normal epithelial cells. Inflam + poly (I:C) means poly (I:C)-treated cultured inflammatory epithelial cells. * indicates a significant difference between each time-points.
