Two-step validation RNAi assays identify six novel hepcidin regulators. (A) Thirteen screening hits were validated by the analysis of endogenous hepcidin mRNA levels upon knockdown with pools of 4 individual siRNAs in Huh7 cells. RNAi of SMAD7, SMAD4 and STAT3 served as a control. (B) Six regulators of hepcidin mRNA expression were validated by at least two independent siRNAs. Shown are mRNA levels of hepcidin and target genes after RNAi. Results are presented as a fold change (± 95% CI) compared to samples transfected with scrambled siRNA. The mean of at least three independent experiments is shown. Significant changes are indicated by asterisks (*P<0.05, **P<0.005, ***P<0.001).
