Figure 3. Relative Luciferase activity associated with Crhr2 promoter polymorphism.
(A) Three pGL-3 promoter plasmids (pGL3-P, pGL3-NP and pGL3 basic) were transfected into SK-N-SH cells to determine whether the Crhr2 promoter polymorphism affects luciferase gene expression. The relative expression of the luciferase gene from each construct is depicted as the mean ± SEM. ANOVA was used to detect significant differences in mean values within and between multiple constructs (p<0.05). (B) Using Genomatix software, the predicted transcription factor binding sites included CREB, C2H2, and Pax3.
