p300 increases GATA6/Sp1-mediated -358-Aqp5-Luc activity. (AC) NIH3T3 cells were co-transfected with -358-Aqp5-Luc and different combinations of GATA6, Sp1, p300 and CBP expression vectors. Luciferase assays were performed 48 h after transfection. p300 and CBP have no effect on Aqp5-Luc activity (A), while p300 (but not CBP) augments both GATA6- (B) and Sp1- (C) mediated Aqp5 transcriptional activity. Protein concentration was used to normalize samples for transfection efficiency (n = 3, *p < 0.05 compared to GATA6 or Sp1 only). qRT-PCR shows knockdown of p300 mRNA using two different shRNAs (V2LMN_102133 indicated as p300-1 and V2LMN_90586 indicated as p300-2) (D) decreases Aqp5 mRNA expression following p300 knockdown (E) (n = 4, *p < 0.05 compared to non-silencing shRNA control (NS shRNA)). WB shows knockdown of p300 (F,G) decreases AQP5 protein expression (F,H). (n = 4, *p < 0.05 compared to NS shRNA control).
