TGF-β1 induces the expression of miR-503 at the transcriptional level. (A) Pri-miR-503 expression was analyzed using quantitative PCR in U251, A172, LN-229 and T98G cells treated with TGF-β1. (B) ChIP-PCR amplification products using primers against the miR-503 promoter region were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. (C) Evolutionary conservation of the set4 region in miR-503 promoter was shown. (D) qChIP analysis showing the enrichment of Smad2/3 in set 4 in U251, A172, LN-229 and T98G cells. (E) The luciferase reporter assay showing that mut-SBE3 significantly inhibits the increased luciferase activity induced by TGF-β1.
