T233 |
0-178 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To validate the obtained LC-MS/MS data, qPCR was performed to evaluate the transcription levels of two randomly selected DEPs, the downregulated ANAPC7 and the upregulated IFIT1. |
T234 |
179-265 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To this end, IPEC-J2 cells were mock-infected or infected with PDCoV at an MOI of 0.1. |
T235 |
266-354 |
Sentence |
denotes |
At 24 hpi, total cellular RNA was extracted from the cells and subjected to qPCR assays. |
T236 |
355-568 |
Sentence |
denotes |
As shown in Figure 2A, the level of mRNA encoding ANAPC7 and IFIT1 proteins was significantly downregulated and upregulated in PDCoV-infected cells, respectively, as compared to the mock-infected cells (p < 0.05). |
T237 |
569-675 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The qPCR results were in agreement with the MS data which were acquired by the iTRAQ approach (Figure 2B). |
T238 |
676-895 |
Sentence |
denotes |
For further confirmation of the proteomic data, the expression level of ANAPC7 and IFIT1 proteins in IPEC-J2 cells, which were infected exactly as the aforementioned conditions, was also tested by Western blot analysis. |
T239 |
896-1001 |
Sentence |
denotes |
To track the progression of PDCoV infection, the mAb 1A3 that specifically recognizes PDCoV was utilized. |
T240 |
1002-1335 |
Sentence |
denotes |
As shown in Figure 2C, compared with the mock-infected IPEC-J2 cells, PDCoV significantly decreased the expression of ANAPC7 protein and its relative ratio to β-actin in the cells, whereas the expression of IFIT1 protein and its relative ratio to β-actin in the cells were significantly increased as a consequence of PDCoV infection. |
T241 |
1336-1462 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The original images of the entire PVDF membranes containing the target Western blots were included in Supplementary Figure S2. |
T242 |
1463-1538 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The Western blot results were also consistent with the MS data (Figure 2D). |
T243 |
1539-1646 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Taken together, these experimental results reveal that our quantitative proteomics data are quite reliable. |
