DNA demethylation-dependent enhancement of toll-like receptor-2 gene expression in cystic fibrosis epithelial cells involves SP1-activated transcription-2

Abstract

PGL3-T2P (-120), SP1 binding site-mutant pGL3-T2P (-120) SPm, pGL3-T2P (-12), or pGL3-null plasmids were each transiently transfected into HeLa cells. Luciferase activity is expressed as the percent activity of the pGL3-T2P (-120) construct. (B) Assessment of the effect of mutating the ETS binding site within the TLR2 -120/+110 promoter region. The pGL3-T2P (-120), ETS binding site-mutant pGL3-T2P (-120) ETSm, pGL3-T2P (-12), or pGL3-null plasmids were each transiently transfected into HeLa cells. Luciferase activity is expressed as the percent activity of the pGL3-T2P (-120) construct. (C) Assessment of the effect of mutating the ETS binding site within TLR2 -60/+110 promoter region. The pGL3-T2P (-60), mutant ETS binding site- pGL3-T2P (-60) ETSm construct, the pGL3-T2P (-12) construct, or the pGL3-null plasmid were transiently transfected into HeLa cells. Luciferase activity is expressed as the percent activity of the pGL3-T2P (-60) construct. Data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. from three independent experiments performed in triplicate. n.s. = not significant as assessed by Student's test.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "DNA demethylation-dependent enhancement of toll-like receptor-2 gene expression in cystic fibrosis epithelial cells involves SP1-activated transcription"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2199/9/39</p><p>BMC Molecular Biology 2008;9():39-39.</p><p>Published online 21 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2387165.</p><p></p
