Because miR-193b showed greater inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signalling than miR-193a, we tested the anti-IAV activities of miR-193b and the other miRNAs. We overexpressed each miRNA in HEK293 cells for 24 hr, infected the cells with A/PR/8/34 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01 for 48 hr, and determined viral mRNA and protein expression in infected cells and the titre in the culture medium. It is noteworthy that miR-509-1 inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin signalling, the second most but merely showed moderate suppression of the IAV infection, suggesting a possible offtarget effect of the miRNA. Furthermore, four miRNAs (miR-193b, miR-548f-1, miR-1-1, and miR-509-1) that down-regulated the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway were shown to suppress IAV replication and virus production. ./cache/cord-347304-1o4fb3na.txt ./txt/cord-347304-1o4fb3na.txt
