Figure 5 Effect of oxymatrine on the replication of HBV in HepG2. 2.15 cell line after treatment for 2 d and 5 d. Compared to normal control, treatment with oxymatrine for 2 d and 5 d resulted in: (A) a decrease in HBV DNA in the supernatant by 40.75% and 75.32%, respectively; (B) a reduction in the intracellular HBV cccDNA pool by 63.98% and 80.83%; and (C) a reduction in viral DNA in the intracellular core particles by 34.35% and 39.24%. However, intracellular pgRNA increased by 6.90-fold and 3.18-fold (D).
