Figure 6. Modulation of TLX and PNR transcriptional activities by ccrp1, ccrp2 and ccrp3. A.
Transfections of TLX LBD repress the UAS promoter leading to a decrease in luciferase activities compared to the control (cells transfected with empty GAL4 vector). Compounds ccrp1, ccrp2 and ccrp3 respectively enhance repressive transcriptional activity of TLX only in cells transfected with TLX LBD. HeLa cells transiently transfected with TLX LBD or empty GAL4 vector and the luciferase reporter gene were treated with either DMSO (0.1%, solvent control) or compounds of interest at different concentrations (indicated). Following 16 h treatments, luciferase activities were recorded and normalized. For each concentration point, data are shown as fold repression relative to control (cells transfected with empty GAL4 vector and treated with 0.1% DMSO), as average of three independent measurements, with experimental errors shown as black lines. B. HeLa cells transiently transfected with PNR LBD or empty GAL4 vector and the luciferase reporter gene were treated with DMSO (0.1%, solvent control) or ccrp1, ccrp2 and ccrp3 at 10 µM. Following 24 h treatments, luciferase activities were recorded and normalized. For each concentration point, data are shown as fold repression relative to control (cells transfected with empty GAL4 vector and treated with 0.1% DMSO), as average of three independent measurements, with experimental errors shown as black lines.
