Figure 7. The OPCML-v1 promoter is stress- and p53-responsive.

Figure 7

(A) Locations of transcription factors (HSF, p53, Sp1, E2F, STAT) binding sites in the promoter are indicated. (B) Up-regulation of OPCML-v1 in response to stress treatments is disrupted in tumor cell lines with a methylated promoter. Normal (NE3, HEK293, NE1) and tumor cell lines (Rael, CNE1, C666-1, HK1) were exposed to 42°C heat shock (HS), UV irradiation, or H2O2 treatments. OPCML-v1 promoter methylation status in each cell line is shown at the bottom. M, methylated; U, unmethylated. (C) H1299 cells were transfected with different amounts of pcDNA3.1+/TP53 (gift from Dr. Bert Vogelstein) [27]. Expression of OPCML-v1 and v2 was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. p53 induced a dosage-dependent upregulation of OPCML-v1.
