Fig 2. The porcine Prdx6 gene promoter was analyzed by computational analyses together with luciferase reporter system.
(A) Conserved sequences of transcription factor binding sites of Prdx6 promoter. The aligned region is conserved among pig, human and bovine. (B) Six promoter constructs were transfected into C2C12, 3T3-L1 and PK15 cell lines, and assayed for luciferase activity. The pGL3-Control and pGL3-Basic were the positive and negative control respectively. Green, orange, blue, red and bright blue dots on the left panel represented the C/EBPβ, MyoD, CREB, Sp1 and HSF binding sites predicted on TFsearch or TESS websites, respectively. Data are expressed as means ± SD of three replicates. (C) Four further deletions (D5.1, D5.2, D7, and D8) were transfected into C2C12 cells and assayed for luciferase activity.
