(B) Treatment with JD-02 at the specified concentration influences the protein levels of BRAF, MEK and ERK in HaCaT cells over a 12-h period. (C and D) HaCaT cells were subjected to transfection with either N.C. siRNA or ERK siRNA for a period of 48 h. Subsequently, the cells were infected with HSV-1 (MOI=0.1) for an additional 24 h. The DNA copy number of the viral gene UL54, as well as the viral protein expression of gB, ICP0, ICP27, ERK and p-ERK were evaluated. (E) The DNA copy numbers of the viral genes UL30 , UL52 and UL54 in HaCaT cells infected with HSV-1 (MOI=0.1) and subsequently treated with either JD-02 (1 μ M) or U0126 (10 μ M) for 24 h, were quantified using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR.
