AAV-shRNA-1 inhibits HBV replication, transcription, and HBsAg expression in HepG2.2.15 cells. HepG2.2.15 cells were infected with AAV2-shRNA-1 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1000, 10000, and 100000. Supernatants and cells were collected separately at the indicated time points post infection. Changes of HBV DNA in supernatants (a) and cells (b), HBV RNA in cells (c), and HBsAg in supernatants (d) were monitored during a 7 day period. The inhibitory effects of different AAV-shRNAs at an MOI of 1000 on HBV DNA (e) or HBV RNA (f) were estimated by the amount of HBV DNA or HBV RNA after each treatment relative to that of the control (%). Control, PBS treatment; scrambler, vector containing the shRNA sequence not targeted to the HBV genome. P < 0.001: significant difference. Ns: the difference was not significant. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments.
