Figure 4

Expression level of miR-223 in resident liver cells. Mice were infected percutaneously with 16 S. japonicum cercariae or not infected as control, and sacrificed at 56 days after infection to isolate the hepatocytes, HSCs and Kupffer cells. Relative miR-223 expression in comparison with uninfected hepatocytes was determined by qPCR (A), and the miR-223 expression levels of hepatocytes, HSCs and Kupffer cells after infection were analyzed (B). The potential role of miR-223 was analyzed by bioinformatics analyses (C).
