Effect of Dengue virus serotype 2 infection on expression and phosphorylation of vimentin in EV304 cells
Objective To analyze the effect of Dengue virus serotype 2 (DV2) infection on the expression and Serine 71 (Ser71) phosphorylation of vimentin in ECV304 cells. Methods ECV304 cells were infected with DV2. Expression and vimentin-Ser71 phosphorylation levels of vimentin were detected by Western blotting at different time points during DV2 entry and replication in ECV304 cells. Results Vimentin expression showed no significant difference between the infected group and the control group
but the levels of vimentin-Ser71 phosphorylation were significantly different between the two groups. As compared with the control group
the level of vimentin-Ser71 phosphorylation in the infected group was increased to 176.3% at 30 min after DV2 entry (P0.01); then it was increased to 333.2% at 8 h postinfection (P0.01) and was decreased to 203.5% at 12 h postinfection (P0.05). Conclusion Vimentin-Ser71 phosphorylation is closely related to the process of DV2 entry and replication in ECV304 cells.
