Knockdown of ATF3 by shRNA impairs proliferation of ATL and HTLV-1 infected cells. MT-4 and ED cells were transduced with lentivirus vector expressing control and ATF3-directed shRNA. (A) ATF3 protein was determined by immunoblot. (B) The cell growths of ATF3 knock-down ATL cells by shRNAs were measured by MTT assay. (C) The effect of ATF3 KD using ATF3_KD1 on cell cycle progression was analyzed by PI staining in MT-4 cells. Five days after infection, cells were analyzed by a flow cytometry as described in the Materials and Methods.
