We compared HEp-2-derived cells cured of persistent poliovirus infection by RNA interference (RNAi) with parental cells, to investigate possible changes in the efficiency of RNAi. Lower levels of poliovirus replication were observed in cured cells, possibly facilitating virus silencing by antiviral small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). However, green fluorescent protein (GFP) produced from a measles virus vector and also GFP and luciferase produced from plasmids that do not replicate in human cells were more effectively silenced by specific siRNAs in cured than in control cells. Thus, cells displaying enhanced silencing were selected during curing by RNAi. Our results strongly suggest that the RNAi machinery of cured cells is more efficient than that of parental cells.
我们将通过RNA干扰(RNAi)治愈持续性脊髓灰质炎病毒感染的HEp-2衍生细胞与亲代细胞进行比较,以研究RNAi效率可能发生的变化。在治愈的细胞中观察到较低水平的脊髓灰质炎病毒复制,这可能有助于抗病毒小干扰RNA(siRNA)使病毒沉默。然而,由麻疹病毒载体产生的绿色荧光蛋白(GFP),以及由不在人类细胞中复制的质粒产生的GFP和荧光素酶,在治愈的细胞中比在对照细胞中更能被特异性siRNA有效沉默。因此,在通过RNAi治愈的过程中选择了显示出增强沉默作用的细胞。我们的结果有力地表明,治愈细胞的RNAi机制比亲代细胞的更有效。
