IKBKB and infection: As seen in Fig. 6C and D, infection with the miR-US5-1/miR-UL112-3p mutant virus resulted in increased accumulation of IL-6 and CCL5 transcripts, respectively, compared to WT-infected cells in the presence of negative-control miRNA; however, preexpression of miR-US5-1 and miR-UL112-3p was able to restore cytokine transcript accumulation in miRNA mutant virus-infected cells to levels observed during WT infection and similar to those observed in infection in the presence of siRNAs targeting IKKα and IKKβ.
