Knockdown of Sp1 and Sp3 expression by siRNA reduces CIDE-A promoter activity. (A) Immunoblotting analysis of Sp1 and Sp3 protein levels in HEK-293T cells transfected with Sp1 and Sp3 siRNA. Control siRNA was used as negative control and Tublin as a loading control. (B) The effect of Sp1 or Sp3 siRNA on CIDE-A promoter activity detected by luciferase reporter assay. HEK-293T cells were transfected with Sp1 and Sp3 siRNAs individually or simultaneously and then transfected again with the luciferase reporter plasmid p(−137/−13) and p(−1556/−137). The activity of each promoter construct is shown as the luciferase activity relative to that of the pGL3-Basic vector. Values were normalized for transfection efficiency by cotransfection with the Renilla expression plasmid and are shown as means ± SD for three independent experiments.
