RESUMO
We demonstrate a gas-filled multipass cell (MPC) that cleaned the spatial mode of a spatial-filter-free 250â W, 100â kHz, 445â fs driven source based on an Innoslab amplifier and compressed the pulse duration to 41â fs simultaneously. The multipass cell acted as a spatial filter and benefited from its discrete waveguide nature, in which the input beam quality factor M2 was improved from 1.53 to a near-diffraction-limited value of 1.21 at 96% transmission.
RESUMO
Influenza virus infection poses a great threat to human health globally each year. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the human genome have been reported to participate in the replication process of the influenza virus, among which there are still many unknowns about Long Intergenic Non-Coding RNAs (LincRNAs) in the cell cycle of viral infections. Here, we observed an increased expression of Linc01615 in A549 cells upon influenza virus PR8 infection, accompanied by the successful activation of the intracellular immune system. The knockdown of Linc01615 using the shRNAs promoted the proliferation of the influenza A virus, and the intracellular immune system was inhibited, in which the expressions of IFN-ß, IL-28A, IL-29, ISG-15, MX1, and MX2 were decreased. Predictions from the catRAPID website suggested a potential interaction between Linc01615 and DHX9. Also, knocking down Linc01615 promoted influenza virus proliferation. The subsequent transcriptome sequencing results indicated a decrease in Linc01615 expression after influenza virus infection when DHX9 was knocked down. Further analysis through cross-linking immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) in HEK293 cells stably expressing DHX9 confirmed the interaction between DHX9 and Linc01615. We speculate that DHX9 may interact with Linc01615 to partake in influenza virus replication and that Linc01615 helps to activate the intracellular immune system. These findings suggest a deeper connection between DHX9 and Linc01615, which highlights the significant role of Linc01615 in the influenza virus replication process. This research provides valuable insights into understanding influenza virus replication and offers new targets for preventing influenza virus infections.
