Effect of chronic alcohol exposure of the human intestinal epithelial HuTu-80 cells on activity of the SLC19A2 and SLC19A3 promoters. A and B: full-length SLC19A2 and SLC19A3 promoters in pGL3-Basic were transfected into HuTu-80 cells. These cells were then subjected to 200 mM ethanol treatment for 72 h followed by determination of luciferase activity. Data are reported as relative luciferase activity normalized to Renilla luciferase activity and presented as means ± SE of at least 3 independent experiments. *P < 0.05.
