LINE-1 ORF-1p enhanced the expression of PXR downstream genes in HCC cells.

Notes: (A and B) MHCC97-H cells were transfected with an empty vector or LINE-1 ORF-1p vectors. (C and D) MHCC97-H cells were transfected with control siRNA or LINE-1 ORF-1p siRNA. Cells were harvested for qPCR analysis. Relative mRNA levels for CYP3A4 (CYP/CYP450 group 3A type 4) (A and C) or MDR-1 (multidrug resistance) (D) were determined through qPCR. (E) MHCC97-H cells were transfected with an empty vector, LINE-1 ORF-1p, control siRNA or LINE-1 ORF-1p vectors. The protein level of LINE-1 ORF-1p, PXR, CYP3A4 or P-gp was identified through Western blotting. *P<0.05.

Abbreviations: HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; PXR, pregnenolone X receptor; qPCR, quantitative PCR.
