- Abstract
- The objective of this study was to generate small interfering RNA (siRNA) to knockdown antiviral chemokine-related genes in fetal rhesus monkey kidney (FRhK-4) cells. We generated siRNA duplexes to suppress antiviral chemokines like CXCL10 and CCL4 in FRhK-4 cells by downregulating interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 3 and IRF7. Three siRNA duplexes (si-F-IRF3-1, si-F-IRF3-2, and si-F-IRF3-3) targeting IRF3, and one siRNA duplex (si-F-IRF7) targeting IRF7 were generated. A nontarget siRNA duplex was used as the negative control. The nontarget or target siRNA duplexes (si-F-IRF3-1, si-F-IRF3-2, si-F-IRF3-3, and si-F-IRF7) were transfected into FRhK-4 cells using transfection reagents, and they were then incubated at 37°C for 6 h with 5% CO2. After 6 h, the medium was removed, and fresh medium was added to each cell, and they were then incubated at 37°C for 48 h with 5% CO2. The transfected FRhK-4 cells were infected with hepatitis A virus (HAV) HM-175/18f (viral titer: 105 PFU/mL) and incubated at 37°C for 3 h with 5% CO2 for HAV propagation. The expression levels of chemokines, including CXCL10 and CCL4, under the regulation of IRF3 and IRF7 in the transfected FRhK-4 cells were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction after 3 h of HAV infection. The results indicated that CXCL10 and CCL4 expression levels were decreased in FRhK-4 cells transfected with si-F-IRF3-1, si-F-IRF3-3, or si-F-IRF7 (p < 0.05) compared to those in the negative control. These results indicate that si-F-IRF3-1 and si-F-IRF3-3, and si-F-IRF7 successfully knocked down IRF3 and IRF7 in FRhK-4 cells, respectively and suppressed antiviral chemokines. These siRNAs could be used to suppress antiviral chemokines in FRhK-4 cells. © 2023 The Author(s)
