Promega renilla luciferase plasmid prl-null
(A-B) IFN-β and NF-κB promoter activities are downregulated in DF-1 TLR3 KO cells but can be rescued by exogenous expression of TLR3. DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were co-transfected with pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng) plasmids (A) , or with pSI-chNFκB-Luc (50 ng) plasmid (B) together with different amounts (100, 200, 400 or 800 ng) of the plasmid expressing chTLR3-His. At 8 h pt the cells were transfected with 250 ng of Poly I:C, and harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection. A control consisting in cells co-transfected with pLucter, pR-null and the empty pCDNA3, or with the pSI-chNFκB-Luc, and the empty pCDNA3 plasmid (800 ng) was included in each assay. The samples were analyzed by the dual <t>luciferase</t> assay kit. Each determination was carried out in duplicate, and the firefly luciferase expression level of each sample was normalized by <t>Renilla</t> values. Results are expressed as the fold induction over the level found in the control DF-1 or DF-1 TLR3 KO cells not transfected with poly I:C. (C-D) DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were transfected with the plasmids pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng) (C) or with the plasmid pSI-chNFκB-Luc (50 ng) (D). At 8 h pt, cells were either treated with Poly I:C (20 µg) added directly to the culture medium or transfected with increasing amounts (100, 200 and 300 ng) of Poly I:C. The samples were harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection and used for luciferase activity quantification. (E) DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were transfected with a siRNA specifically silencing the expression of MDA5 protein, or with a control siRNA. At 24 h pt, the cultures were transfected with the plasmids pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng) and 8 h later cells were either treated with poly I:C (20μg) or transfected with increasing amounts (100, 200 and 300 ng) of Poly I:C. The samples were harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection and used for luciferase assay. (F) DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were transfected with the plasmids pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng). At 8 h pt, cells were transfected with 250 ng of Poly I:C and subsequently treated with BFA (50μM) or the vehicle DMSO 1 h later. The samples were harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection and analyzed using the dual luciferase assay kit. In panels C-F values are presented as the fold induction over the level found in the control DF-1 or DF-1 TLR3 KO cells not treated with Poly I:C.

(A-B) IFN-β and NF-κB promoter activities are downregulated in DF-1 TLR3 KO cells but can be rescued by exogenous expression of TLR3. DF-1 and DF-1 TLR3 KO cells were co-transfected with pLucter (100 ng) and pR-null (30 ng) plasmids (A) , or with pSI-chNFκB-Luc (50 ng) plasmid (B) together with different amounts (100, 200, 400 or 800 ng) of the plasmid expressing chTLR3-His. At 8 h pt the cells were transfected with 250 ng of Poly I:C, and harvested at 24 h after plasmid transfection. A control consisting in cells co-transfected with pLucter, pR-null and the empty pCDNA3, or with the pSI-chNFκB-Luc, and the empty pCDNA3 plasmid (800 ng) was included in each assay.

H , I 4E KO MEF ( H ) or sh4EBP1/2 HEK293 cells ( I ) were transfected with control siRNA (scr) or siRNAs targeting ACACA and grown in glucose starved medium (Glc strv) for 48 h. Cell death was measured by PI staining and flow cytometry. ACC1 protein levels were analyzed by immunoblotting. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. Statistics: unpaired one-sided Student’s t test ( C – F , H , I ); n = 3 independent experiments for ( C , E , F , H , I ). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A , B WT and 4E KO MEF ( A ), or shScr and sh4EBP1/2 HEK293 cells ( B ) were grown in complete medium or glucose starved (Glc strv) for the indicated times, and analyzed by immunoblotting using antibodies against the indicated proteins. Representative results of two independent experiments are shown. C ShScr and sh4EBP1/2 HEK293 cells were grown in complete medium or glucose (Glc) starved for 16 h, and ACACA mRNA expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR. D ShScr and sh4EBP1/2 HEK293 cells were grown in complete medium or glucose (Glc) starved for 6 h, and translation efficiency (TE) of ACACA mRNA was calculated by measuring the levels of polysomal and total ACACA mRNA by qRT-PCR. n = 4 independent experiments. E , F WT and 4E KO MEF ( E ), or shScr and sh4EBP1/2 HEK293 cells ( F ) were transfected with an ACACA 5’UTR-containing Firefly Luciferase construct and a control Renilla Luciferase vector. Cells were grown in complete medium or glucose (Glc) starved for 6 h, and luminescence was measured. G HEK293 cells were transfected with an HA-tagged ACC1 expressing vector containing or not the ACACA 5’UTR.

Article Snippet: For transfection, HEK293 cells were seeded in 12-well plates and transfected with 250 ng of each 5’UTR Firefly Luciferase reporter and 3 ng Renilla Luciferase expressing pRL null plasmid (Promega), completed to 500 ng DNA with pcDNA3.1 plasmid, using CalFectin transfection reagent (Signagen) according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
