Cre-ERT mediated antiviral induction

ABSTRACT: In this work, we aimed at studying the impact of microRNAs on antiviral responses, using inducible deletion of one or two copies of Dicer1 (in Dicer-floxed x EsrCRE+ MEFs). Unexpectedly, we discovered that Cre-ERT activation by hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) alone, independent of Dicer1 deletion, had a strong impact on antiviral responses. These microarrays were performed on SV40 immortalized Dicer1 fl/fl EsrCRE+ MEFs, Dicer1 fl/wt EsrCRE+ MEFs, 96 h after initial OHT treatment, and SV40 immortalized Dicer1 wt/wt EsrCRE+ MEFs, Dicer1 wt/wt EsrCRE-neg MEFs (Wild Type MEFs), 48 h after initial OHT treatment. These analyses revealed the strong induction of several antiviral genes (Rsad2, Cxcl10...), following Cre-ERT activation. SV40 immortalized mouse embryoni
