Fig. 7. Functional analysis of iCDM-34-mediated induction of anti-HBV activity.
A Activation of AhR signaling pathway in 3D cultured FLC-4 cells. 3D cultured FLC-4 cells were treated with 0, 1, 10 μM iCDM-34 for 1 day. CYP1A2 (blue bars), CYP2C9 (orange bars), and CYP3A4 (gray bars) mRNA expression levels were measured by quantitative PCR. Error bars indicate SD (n = 3). B HepG2-NTCP-C4 cells were treated with 30 μM iCDM-17 and iCDM-34 for 1 day. Expression levels of phospho-SAMHD1, SAMHD1, and β-actin were analyzed by Western blotting. C–H HepG2-NTCP-C4 cells were treated with 30 μM iCDM-17 and iCDM-34 for 3, 8, 24 h. Expression levels of CDK1 (C–E) and CDK2 (F–H) mRNA were analyzed by qPCR. Error bars indicate SD (n = 3). The data are presented as means ± SD. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 in two-tailed student’s t test.
