Physical association of XBP1 and ERα is accompanied by robust ERE-driven transcriptional activity in MCF7/XBP1 cells. A, MCF-7 cells stably expressing XBP1 cDNA or the empty vector control (c) were treated with FAS or ethanol control (ctrl.) vehicle prior to lysis and immunoblotting (lanes 1 and 2) or co-immunoprecipitation of XBP1 and ERα (lanes 3 and 4) using standard procedures. B, MCF7/c and MCF7/XBP1 cells were transiently co-transfected with plasmids encoding 3xERE-luciferase and phRLSV40-Renilla for 24 hours prior to lysis and promoter-reporter luciferase assay by standard methods. Data are presented as mean relative ERE-luciferase activity ± SE for a representative experiment performed in triplicate, *p<0.001.
