The effect of lobohedleolide on the transcriptional factor activity on COX-2 promoter. (a) Schematic diagrams of the deletion of COX-2 promoter constructs. (b) Effect of lobohedleolide on the deletion constructs of COX-2 promoter. Ava5 cells were cotransfected with 0.2 μg of pCMV-Rellina-Luc and pCOX-2-Luc, pCOX-2(ΔNF-κB)-Luc, or pCOX-2(ΔNF-κB/C/EBP)-Luc for 6 h. The transfected cells were treated with DMSO or lobohedleolide at 20 and 40 μM for 3 days. Cell lysates were subjected to luciferase activity assay. Data are presented as mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments, with each measurement carried out in triplicate. Asterisks indicate significant difference between lobohedleolide- and DMSO-treated Ava5 cells. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
