Overexpression of Constitutively Active HPSE Worsens Disease in Corneal HSV-1 Infection
(A) Schematic showing GS3-HPSE expression variant, in which the linker of the inactive 65-kDa form is replaced with a triple repeat of Gly-Ser to produce a constitutively active HPSE. Protein expression is confirmed in the HCE cell line with anti-HPSE PT EV, empty vector.
(B) Representative micrographs of mice 7 days after HSV-1 (McKrae; 106 PFUs) corneal infection. Scale bar, 1 mm.
(C) Clinical scores based on corneal opacity of mice in (B).
(D) Representative micrographs of corneal surface of mice 14 days after HSV-1 (KOS; 106 PFUs) corneal infection. Scale bar, 1 mm.
(E–G) Analysis of ipsilateral draining (submandibular) lymph nodes of mice 7 days after HSV-1 (McKrae) infection. (E) Representative flow cytometry data showing surface staining of F4/80 versus Gr-1, CD3 versus CD45, and CD4 versus CD8. Percentages of parent gates are labeled on each plot. (F) Total numbers of cells in each mouse lymph node. (G) Numbers of each cell type present in the draining lymph node.
Asterisks denote a significant difference as determined by Student’s t test; ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ns, not significant.

4. Figure 2 Active HPSE Delays Corneal Wound Healing In Vivo and In Vitro
(A) Representative micrographs of in vivo corneal wound healing assay in murine corneas previously transfected with GS3-HPSE or empty vector, in the absence of infection. At specified time points post-application of the circular wound, fluorescein was applied to highlight tissue damage (arrowheads), and corneas were imaged. Scale bar, 1 mm.
(B) Mean ± SEM of extent of wound healing in (A).
(C) Representative micrographs of in vitro wound healing assay showing closure of HCE cellular defect over specified times after scratching. Before wound application, cells were transfected with empty vector, WT HPSE (not depicted), or GS3-HPSE. Scale bar, 50 μm.
(D) Quantification of extent of wound healing in (C). Pixel distances between wound fronts in each panel were measured, and percentages of initial wound widths are plotted.
(E and F) The same procedure described in (C) and (D) was performed with the exception that HCE cells were infected with HSV-1 (KOS; MOI = 0.1) at the time of wound application. Scale bar, 50 μm.
All results are presented as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (n = 3). Asterisks denote a significant difference as determined by Student’s t test; ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ns, not significant.

(F) Transcript copy numbers relative to GAPDH from wild-type and HPSE KO MEFs in the absence or presence of HSV-1 for specified time points.
(G) Representative western blot analysis of whole-cell lysates of wild-type and HPSE KO MEFs in the absence or presence of HSV-1 for specified time points.
(H) Densitometry analysis of (G).
All results are presented as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (n = 3). Asterisks denote a significant difference compared to empty vector (EV) or WT MEF where applicable, for each time point, as determined by Student’s t test; ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ns, not significant.
