Expression of Interferon Lambda 4 Is Associated with Reduced Proliferation and Increased Cell Death in Human Hepatic Cells 2015-11-01 .txt text/plain 7203 335 47 We performed live confocal imaging, cell death and proliferation assays, mRNA expression profiling, protein detection, and antibody blocking assays using transient and inducible stable in vitro systems. Previously, we showed that transient transfection of an expression construct that generates IFN-l4 protein induced interferon signaling, with activation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and generation of antiviral response in HepG2, a human hepatoma cell line (Prokunina-Olsson and others 2013). The stable HepG2-ISRE-Luc cells were transfected with corresponding constructs in 96-well plates; untransfected cells were treated with human recombinant interferons-IFNa (2 ng/mL; PBL Assay Science) or custom IFN-l3 (10 ng/ mL). Previously, by performing Western blot analysis, we were unable to detect IFN-l4 in culture media of HepG2 cells transiently transfected with an IFN-l4-producing construct, even though this transfection resulted in strong activation of interferon signaling (Prokunina-Olsson and others 2013). IFN-l4 was detectable in culture media of IFNL4-transfected PHHs and HepG2 cells, but not in corresponding Halo-transfected cells (Fig. 2B) . ./cache/cord-001848-idmj2d7p.txt ./txt/cord-001848-idmj2d7p.txt
