FOXO3a directly regulates VHL expression. A–C, chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed that FOXO3a directly interacted with the VHL promoter region harboring the FOXO DBE (A and B), which was confirmed by semiquantitative real-time RT-PCR assays (C). D, semiquantitative real-time RT-PCR assays revealed that activation of FOXO3a with 500 nm 4-HT caused VHL mRNA to be increased. E, induction of pVHL by FOXO3a was confirmed by Western blotting assays.
