Fig. 2. Overexpression of miR-373 promotes HCV replication in JFH1-infected Huh 7.5 cells. (A and B) The expression of miR-373 and HCV RNA were investigated in JFH1-infected Huh 7.5 cells transfected with miR-373 mimics or inhibitor by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. (C and D) The expressions of NS3 and NS5A were analyzed in JFH1-infected Huh 7.5 cells transfected with miR-373 mimics or inhibitor by Western blot. Data represent the mean±standard deviation from at least three independent experiments. ^*p<0.05. HCV, hepatitis C virus.
