Overexpression of PTEN and activation of GSK-3β inhibit HSV-1-induced KSHV reactivation. (A) Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of KSHV Rta, vIL-6 and the level of the transfected PTEN in PTEN or control vector transfected and HSV-1 infected BCBL-1 cells as indicated. (B) Real-time DNA-PCR was used to detect the copy number of KSHV progeny virions in the supernatant of PTEN or control vector transfected and HSV-1 infected BCBL-1 cells as indicated. ** p < 0.01 and ## p < 0.01 for Student's t-test versus Mock + pcDNA and HSV-1 + pcDNA groups, respectively. (C) Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of KSHV Rta, vIL-6 and the level of the transfected GSK-3β-S9A in GSK-3β-S9A or control vector transfected and HSV-1 infected BCBL-1 cells as indicated.
