RT−qPCR revealed that transcription levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-8, TNF−α, IFN−α, IFN−β and IFN−γ were significantly elevated by 50–300-fold in oncoVV-shHSP70−treated ovarian cancer cell lines compared to controls (Figure 3A, B). The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is ovarian cancer.
