The HCV-antigen responsible for suppressing the expression of hsa-miR146b-5p in monocytes and T cells. The relative expression of miR146b-5p in THP-1 (A) and Jurkat (D) cells is shown after the transfection of various kinds of HCV antigen expressing plasmids (HCV-core, E1, E2, NS3, NS4B, NS5A and NS5B) with or without JFH-1 full length strain. The relative expressions of miR146b-5p in THP-1 (B) and Jurkat (E) cells are shown after adding the extra-cellular HCV-core protein. The relative expressions of hsa-miR146b-5p in CD14+ monocytes (C) and CD3+ T cells (F) from IL28B T/T subjects and IL28B T/G subjects were analyzed after adding the extra-cellular HCV-core protein. Error-bars indicate standard deviation.
