HEK293T and RD cells were infected with EV71 at a MOI of 0.1, then the cells and supernatants were harvested at the indicated time points. Immunoblotting (IB) analysis of EV71 VP1 in cells, with tubulin as a loading control. EV71-VP1 protein in the supernatants was detected after ultracentrifugation. The expression of SAMHD1 is negatively correlated with EV71 viral replication ability. HEK293T and RD cells were infected with EV71 at a MOI of 0.1, then the cells and supernatants were harvested at the indicated time points. EV71 viral RNA levels in cell lysates and supernatants were detected by RT-qPCR with GAPDH as a control. (n=3, mean±SD, ns stands for no significance, paired t-test) The expression of SAMHD1 is negatively correlated with EV71 viral replication ability. HEK293T and RD cells were infected with EV71 at a MOI of 0.1, then the cells and supernatants were harvested at the indicated time points. The mRNA levels of the host restriction factors were detected by RT-qPCR in infected or uninfected HEK293T or RD cells, and the expression levels of the target genes were normalized to GAPDH.

HEK293T and RD cells were infected with EV71 at a MOI of 0.1, then the cells and supernatants were harvested at the indicated time points. IB analysis of SAMHD1 and BST-2 protein levels with tubulin as a loading control. The densities of bands were analyzed with ImageJ software to calculate the values relative to that of tubulin. SAMHD1 knockdown enhances EV71 replication. The stable cell lines pLKO.1 and sh-SAMHD1 constructed in HEK293T cells were infected with EV71 at a MOI of 0.1 and 0.05 respectively, and cells and supernatants were harvested at the indicated time points. IB analysis of EV71 VP1 and SAMHD1 in cells was performed with tubulin as a loading control. EV71-VP1 protein in the supernatants was detected after ultracentrifugation. SAMHD1 knockdown enhances EV71 replication. EV71 viral RNA in cell lysates was detected by RT-qPCR with GAPDH as a control (n=3, mean±SD, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, paired t-test). SAMHD1 knockdown enhances EV71 replication. Viral titers in the supernatants were measured by the cytopathic effect method. SAMHD1 knockdown enhances EV71 replication.

SAMHD1 knockdown enhances EV71 replication. Viral titers in the supernatants were measured by the cytopathic effect method. HEK293T cells transfected with VR1012, which is a eukaryotic expression vector, or Vpx-HA were infected with EV71 at a MOI of 0.1, and then cells and supernatants were harvested at the indicated time points. IB analysis of EV71-VP1, SAMHD1 and Vpx-HA in cell lysates was performed with tubulin as a loading control. EV71-VP1 was detected in the supernatants after ultracentrifugation. EV71 viral RNA was detected in cell lysates by RT-qPCR with GAPDH as a control (n=3, mean±SD, ** P <0.01, paired t-test). Viral titres in the supernatants were measured by the cytopathic effect method. The results represent the means ± SD from three independent experiments. Statistical significance was analyzed using Student's t test (**P < 0.01).
