Figure 6. Wnt signaling inhibits Map3k1 promoter.
HEK293 cells were co-transfected with CMV-renilla luciferase reporter and (A) Wnt/β-catenin signaling luciferase reporter in its wild type (TCF/LEF-luc) or mutant (TCF/LEF-mut-luc) forms, and (B) Map3k1 promoter driven luciferase reporter (pMap3k1-luc), together with either empty vector or Wnt3a expression plasmids. At 48 h after transfection, luciferase activities were examined. In some experiments, the relative luciferase activity was calculated using firefly-luciferase activity versus renilla-luciferase activity, and the value in control cells was set as 1. The statistical significance was determined using Student t-test, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 are considered significant.
