TMAO and TNF-α alter expression of the DEGs in Hepa1-6 cells and Huh7 cells. (A–D) Expression of the POSTN, NAPB, LAYN and HTRA3 mRNAs were significantly upregulated in Hepa1-6 cells and Huh7 cells treated with 50 ng/ml TNF-α and 50 μM TMAO in combination compared to cells treated with 50 ng/ml TNF-α alone; results are mean ± SD (n = 3 per group); Student’s t-test. (E,F) On the contrary, 50 ng/ml TNF-α and 50 μM TMAO in combination significantly downregulated the expression of AANAT and AFM compared to cells treated with 50 ng/ml TNF-α alone; results are mean ± SD (n = 3 per group); Student’s t-test.
