FIG 7.
PKLR regulated HBV replication. (A) PKLR overexpression increased the HBV DNA level in HepAD38 cell supernatant. (B) HBV replication in HBV-infected NTCP-Huh7.5.1 cells increased in a time-dependent manner. PKLR gRNA lowered HBV DNA levels significantly compared to those with the negative-control gRNA, in a time-dependent manner. (C) PKLR gRNA reduced the HBV DNA level in cell culture supernatant. (D) PKLR gRNA reduced the HBV cccDNA level in HBV-infected NTCP-Huh7.5.1 cells. (E) PKLR gRNA reduced the HBV DNA level in HBV-infected NTCP-Huh7.5.1 cells.
