No measurable cis regulation by TRIBAL conserved region on TRIB1 promoter region. Indicated pGL3‐derived constructs were transfected in HepG2 cells, and levels of luciferase and renilla were measured 24 hours later. pTRIB1 contains a 1.9‐kb fragment of TRIB1 promoter region. pTRIBAL corresponds to a 497‐bp fragment encompassing the conserved TRIBAL promoter region. Amounts transfected are indicated (12‐well plates; μg). Data are normalized to pRL‐SV40 and expressed relative to the “pTRIB1 0.5″ values. Data represent the mean of 2 experiments (±95% CIs) and are representative of 3. TRIBAL indicates TRIB1‐associated locus.
