Fig. 6From: Hepatitis B virus X protein promotes interleukin-7 receptor expression via NF-κB and Notch1 pathway to facilitate proliferation and migration of hepatitis B virus-related hepatoma cellsThe role of IL-7R in HBX-mediated proliferation of hepatoma cells. a The role of IL-7R in HBX-positive proliferation of hepatoma cells as detected by CCK-8. b The role of IL-7R in proliferation of HBX-positive hepatoma cells examined by plate clone formation assay. c CCK-8 was used to detect the role of IL-7R in the proliferation of HBX-positive hepatoma cells stimulated by IL-7. d Plate clone formation assay was used to assess the effect of IL-7R on proliferation of HBX-positive hepatoma cells stimulated by IL-7. *p < 0.05 compared with the cells transfected with control plasmids, # p < 0.05 compared with HBX-positive cells transfected with control vectorsBack to article page
