Fig. 3From: Hepatitis B virus promotes hepatocellular carcinoma development by activating GP73 to repress the innate immune responseHBV induces the activation of GP73. HepG2 and HepG2-NTCP cells were infected with HBV at 1000 GE per cell. After 48 h, the expression of HBeAg (A) and HBsAg (B) in cell culture supernatants was detected by ELISAs; HBV genomic DNA (C) in HepG2-NTCP cells and cell culture supernatants was detected by qRT-PCR, and GP73 expression levels (D) were detected by qRT-PCR. The graphs show the means ± SDs, n = 3. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, compared with the control groupBack to article page
