Adenoviral infection promotes Stc2 expression in an AhR-dependent manner. (A) qRT-PCR was performed on AhRfx/fx primary hepatocytes infected with AdGFP or AdCreGFP for the indicated times. The data presented for Stc2 represent the mean ± S.E.M. of five independent experiments. Asterisk indicates statistical significance (P < 0.01). (B) qRT-PCR was performed on AhR CKO primary hepatocytes infected with AdGFP or AdrAhRFL for the indicated times. The data presented for Stc2 represent the mean ± S.E.M. of three independent experiments. Quantification of mRNA expression is relative to ribosomal RNA 18S and normalized to uninfected hepatocytes at each time point and set to a value of one (dashed line).
