Combinations of siRNAs against La Autoantigen with NS5B or hVAP-A Have Additive Effect on Inhibition of HCV Replication

Figure 2

Simultaneous downregulation of multiple genes more effectively inhibits HCV replication: Huh-7.5 cells in a similar experimental setup as mentioned in Figure 1 were transfected with following combinations of siRNAs: La autoantigen + NS5B, La autoantigen + hVAP-A, La autoantigen + PSMA7, NS5B + hVAP-A, NS5B + PSMA7, and PSMA7 + hVAP-A. Downregulation of viral replication were determined by RT-PCR as shown in (a). (b) represents densitometry analysis of HCV NS5B downregulation. The data represent mean ± standard deviation. value < 0.05 versus control was considered statistically significant.
