a Promoter activity was determined in HEK293T cells transfected with miR145-Luc (0.2 µg) and indicated plasmids. (bd) Immunoblotting for Fli-1 (b) mRNA (c) or (d) miR145 following transduction of the sh-Fli-1 lentivirus. e Promoter sequence of FLI1 with the FLI1 binding sites (FBS1-3) highlighted in red. e, f Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis for the regions containing FBS1 (f) and FBS2-3 (g). h Depicted model of A661/A665. In leukemic cells, high Fli-1 suppresses of the miR-145 promoter, leading to higher Fli-1 expression. The diterpenoid compounds A661 and A665 suppress Fli-1 expression either directly or through an upstream factor. Fli-1 downregulation in turn depresses the miR-145 promoter, thereby leading to miR145-mediated inhibition of Fli-1 translation
