Gene silencing of PDC-E2 reduces p-STAT3 level in NHC cells. Western blot analysis of PDC-E2, pY-STAT3 and STAT3 protein levels in NHC (A) and Hep-G2 (B) cells treated with three siRNAs (A, B, C) to silence PDC-E2 or a scrambled (scr) siRNA. Results are representative of three independent experiments. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
