Geldanamycin induced up-regulation of FN1 is dependent on heat shock elements in the promoter. (A) The cloned FN1 promoter sequence annotated with putative HSEs and key transcription motifs. The CCAAT box (−334 bp) and TATA box (−27 bp) are identified relative to the TSS ( + 1 bp) and start codon ( + 200 bp)77. (B) Two truncations of the FN1 promoter were made by PCR amplification and validated by Sanger sequencing. (C) HEK293FT cells were transfected with pGL4-pFN1, pGL4-pFN1−810, pGL4-pFN1−380 or empty pGL4.17 and transfection efficiency control pCAG-HRP-TM and treated with 100 nM GA or DMSO. Relative luciferase values are normalised to the DMSO treated pGL4-pFN1 and are representative of 6 independent transfections per treatment with 3 technical replicates per transfection. Statistical analysis was conducted in comparison to the wild type untreated pGL4-pFN1 treatment using one way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test (***p < 0.001).
