A Systematic Analysis of Host Factors Reveals a Med23-Interferon-λ Regulatory Axis against Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Replication 2013-08-08 .txt text/plain 12504 601 45 Host factors (HFs) which positively or negatively regulate HSV-1 replication were identified by screening a druggable genome siRNA library (4 siRNAs per gene) targeting 7,237 human genes against a HSV-1 reporter virus expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP; HSV-1 strain C12) in the epithelial Hela cell line, due to their ease of transfection and susceptibility to HSV-1 infection [34] . Combined bioinformatic analyses of protein interaction and siRNA depletion screens found a significant functional enrichment for proteins involved in transcription, and identified multi-protein complexes enriched for pro-viral HFs which strongly inhibited HSV-1 upon depletion, including the RNA-polymerase II, eIF3 and Mediator complexes ( Figure 3a) . Furthermore, qPCR analysis found depletion of Med23 inhibited the induction of IFN-l expression following HSV-1 infection of A549 cells in comparison to cells transfected with the RSCF siRNA control ( Figure 4e ). ./cache/cord-325825-0lyt8gfq.txt ./txt/cord-325825-0lyt8gfq.txt
