A 1.0 kb hBAFF promoter activity was higher than 0.25 or 0.5 kb in MH7A cells. (a) The 0.25 and 0.5 kb pGL3-hBAFF-Luc plasmids were prepared by the deletion of 750 and 500 bp from the 5′-end of 1.0 kb hBAFF promoter, respectively. (b) The MH7A cells were transfected with 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 kb pGL3-hBAFF-Luc plasmids and incubated in the presence or absence of TNF-α for 6 h. hBAFF promoter activity was measured as luciferase activity using luminometer. (c) pGL3-hBAFF-Luc and pSG5-HIF-1α plasmids were co-transfected into MH7A. Luciferase activity of hBAFF promoter was measured by using luminometer. Data were the representative of four experiments. Data in the bar graph represent the means±S.E.M. **P<0.01, significant difference as compared with 0.25 or 0.5 kb hBAFF-Luc-transfected group. ##P<0.01, significant difference as compared with TNF-α-untreated control for each size of hBAFF promoter (b and c)
