TetO-driven, Dox-activated expression of the DN-CBRb transgene leads to downregulation of the endogenous RB1 in vitro. HEK293 cells, which endogenously express RB1 (Chano et al., 2006), were co-transfected with TetO-DN-CB-myc6-Rb1, and the pCMV-Tet3G transactivator vector. In the absence of Dox, co-transfected HEK293 cells stably expressed RB1 (lane 1). Addition of Dox to the system for a 24-h period led to TetO-DN-CB-myc6-Rb1 activation and RB1 downregulation (lane 2). Culturing a subset of those Dox-treated cells in a Dox-free media for an additional 24 h allowed for RB1 expression to be resumed (lane 3). C = Control HEK293 cells transfected with pCMV-Tet3G only, treated with Dox.
