Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of human HepaRG cells infected with hepatitis E virus (HEV) [pre-array]

ABSTRACT: We aimed to identify interferon (IFN)-regulated genes that are differentially expressed during chronic HEV infection in human hepatocytes, the main site of HEV replication, using HepaRG cells. We have performed a preliminary screen using whole-cell RNA extracts prepared from HepaRG mock-infected or infected cells to determine whether HEV was able to trigger an IFN response. Different multiplicities of infection (MOI) (10 and 100 genome equivalent (GE)/cell) and time points (D+7, D+14, D+26, D+40, D+72 and D+100) were analyzed using the PCR array. We have also treated HepaRG cells after overnight treatment with IFN-β to confirm the ability of HepaRG to respond to IFN-I treatment.
