Confirmation of NF-κB-targeted genes in HuH-7 cells by RT-qPCR

Gene Assignment GenBank Fold Change TNFα + HDL/TNFα Function
A1AT, α-1 protease inhibitor NM_001002236 0.78 ± 0.04a Inhibits elastase, plasmin, thrombin, trypsin, and plasminogen activator
GAL3, galactose-specific lectin NR_003225 0.64 ± 0.03b Involvement in G protein-coupled receptor protein signaling pathway, cell differentiation, and extracellular matrix organization
GRO1, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 NM_001511 0.53 ± 0.04b Chemokine, inflammatory response
GSTP1, glutathione S-transferase pi 1 NM_000852 0.88 ± 0.04a Important role in detoxification by conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles
IGFBP2, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 NM_000597 0.69 ± 0.08a Prolongs the half-life of IGFs, stimulates or inhibits the growth promoting effects of Igs on cell culture
IL8, interleukin 8 NM_000584 0.73 ± 0.05a Chemokine, major mediator of the inflammatory response
LAMB2, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 NM_002292 0.74 ± 0.06b Major noncollagenous constituent of basement membranes involved in cell adhesion
MAD3, max-associated protein 3 NM_031300 0.90 ± 0.03b Transcriptional regulator and part of the Myc superfamily. Binds with MAX and suppresses MYC-dependent cell transformation
MCP1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 NM_002982 0.63 ± 0.08a Chemokine, inflammatory response
MNSOD, manganese-containing superoxide dismutase NM_001024465 0.65 ± 0.03b Clears toxic oxidative radicals produced within cells
TP53, tumor suppressor p53 NM_000546 0.89 ± 0.02b Regulates target genes that induce cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, or changes in metabolism. High levels are associated with transformation and malignancy
PRG1, p53-responsive gene 1 NM_003897 0.65 ± 0.06b
PTX3, pentraxin 3 NM_002852 0.80 ± 0.04b Role in regulation of inflammation
SAA1, serum amyloid A1 NM_000331 0.71 ± 0.03b Major acute inflammatory reactant, associated with HDL
