Table 2. Binding of C/EBP-β and PU.1 on the 5′ promoter region of Il1β and Il6 in WT and p65 Δmye peritoneal MΦs.

ChIP data reveal that there is a significantly increased binding of C/EBP-β and PU.1 on Il1b and Il6 promoters in p65 Δmye peritoneal MΦs. The amount of immunoprecipitated DNA was analyzed by real-time PCR and then normalized over the respective input control.

Transcription factor Enrichment over negative control (Gapdh intronic region)
Peritoneal MΦs
Il1b Il6
WT p65Δmye WT p65Δmye
C/EBP-β 1.60(n.s.) 2.64* 60.02(n.s.) 266.34*
PU.1 1.41(n.s.) 34.73* 0 (n.s.) 336.62*

Data in the table represent the fold increase of immunoprecipitated DNA for Il1b or Il6 over a negative control DNA fragment (Gapdh intronic region).

p < 0.05 vs. negative control; n=2 for each group;

Il1b: interleukin 1b; Il6: interleukin 6; MΦs: macrophages; n.s.: not significant.
