LPIN1 and infection: A specific and statistically significant LPIN1 mRNA induction (Fig 1A) was observed in Huh-7 cells after single cycle infection experiments [multiplicity of infection (MOI) 10] with a cell culture-adapted genotype 2a HCV (D183) variant [42] at the peak of the infection (48 and 72 hours post-infection) and as compared with mock-infected cells (Fig 1B).
