ST14 and SPINT1 promotors are regulated by enhancer activity in colorectal cells. Luciferase reporter plasmids containing the ST14 (a) or SPINT1 (a) promoter, with or without an enhancer, were transiently transfected into Caco-2 cells (with high CDX2 levels), RKO cells (with low CDX2 levels) and the non-intestinal HeLa cells. Data are shown as the relative luciferase activity compared to the control reporter plasmid, pGL4.10. One-way ANOVA analysis was applied with ± S.E.M (n = 4), **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, n.s = non-significant. The reporter activity was normalized to the co-transfected LacZ plasmid expression.
