Figure Lengend Snippet: Primary human hepatocytes overexpress and release CXCL14 when infected by HSV‐1 or stimulated with pro‐inflammatory cytokines. PHH were infected with HSV‐1 with a MOI of 1, or not (Mock). From twelve hours to seventy‐two hours after, conditioned media and cell lysates were collected. (A) Pictures of PHH, non‐infected (Mock) (left) or at 3 dpi with HSV‐1 (right). (B) Relative expression of CXCL14 mRNA measured by RT‐qPCR in non‐infected (Mock) or infected cells at 12, 24, 48, or 72 hpi with HSV‐1. (C) Measurement of CXCL14 concentration in conditioned media of PHH cultures of non‐infected (Mock) cells or of cells infected with HSV‐1 by ELISA at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hpi. (D) Relative expression of CXCL14 mRNA measured by RT‐qPCR in non‐treated (NT) or PHH cultures stimulated with a cocktail of cytokines (IL‐6, TNFα, IL‐1β, IFNγ, and OSM at 5 ng/mL each) for 12, 24, 48, or 72 h. (E) Top, western blot of CXCL14 of lysates of non‐infected PHH, primary human hepatic stellate cells (HSC), and TRP3, a cell line of human liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC). Bottom, relative quantification of western‐blot signals of CXCL14 production by PHH, HSC, and TRP3. A p ‐value < 0.05 was considered significant: *< 0.05, **< 0.01, ***< 0.001, ****<0.0001, ns not significant (comparison between mock cells with HSV‐1‐infected or cytokine‐stimulated cells, or between PHH and HSC or TRP3).
