SRC-3 inhibits HBV biosynthesis in HepG2 cells. a–c Knockdown of SRC-3 increased the mRNA levels of HBV and the protein levels of HBsAg and HBeAg. Stable SRC-3-knockdown and control HepG2 cells were transfected with pHBV1.3 plasmids, respectively. The SRC-3 protein was tested by western blot (a), the mRNA level of HBV was quantified by real-time PCR (b), and the protein of HBsAg and HBeAg was measured by ELISA (c). d–f Ectopic expression of SRC-3 in SRC-3-knockdown HepG2 cells reduced the mRNA levels of HBV and the protein levels of HBsAg and HBeAg. Stable SRC-3-knockdown HepG2 cells were transfected with SRC-3/pHBV1.3 plasmids or control/pHBV1.3 plasmids for 48 h. The protein levels of SRC-3 were detected by western blot (d), the mRNA level of HBV was quantified by real-time PCR (e), and the protein of HBsAg and HBeAg was measured by ELISA (f). All experiments were repeated at least 3 times independently. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001
