Consistent with results in NAA60-depleted cells, the expression of IFNα mRNA in NAA60-overexpressing cells was reduced by a significant 51% (P=0.036) and 39.2% (P=0.013) at 3 h and 6 h post-infection, respectively, when compared to control cells (Figure 7A). The gene discussed is NAA60; the disease is infection.
