Fig 1: RNaseL expression pattern in cells of NVU. Expression of RNaseL in primary human brain pericytes, astrocytes, EC, immortalized human microglial cells, and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line as measured by immunoblotting (A). Pericytes were either mock-infected or infected as in Fig. 6, and mRNA and protein expression of RNaseL was measured by qPCR and immunoblotting (B). Pericytes were transfected with ocln overexpressing vector PCMV3-OCLN or with PCMV3 control vector, and the expression of RNaseL was evaluated by qPCR and immunoblotting (C). GAPDH was used as a housekeeping gene and loading control. Values are mean ± SEM. ****p<0.0001, ***p=0.0002, **p=0.003, *p<0.05, n=4–6 independent samples per group
