Arc/Arg3.1 reduces HSF1 affinity to HSE and interferes with cellular chaperone activity. (a) HEK293T cells were exposed to heat shock at 45°C for 15 min and crosslinked with formaldehyde. Chromatin immunoprecipitation using rabbit IgG or anti-HSF1 antibody was performed. Immunoprecipitated HSE region of hsp70 was quantified using quantitative real-time PCR. (b) HEK293T cells were transfected with HA-HSF1 and hsp27-luciferase plasmed with empty vector or Flag-Arc vector. After 24 h, luciferase activity was measured. (c) HEK293T cells were transfected with Flag empty vector or Flag-Arc and heat shock treated at 45°C for the indicated times. Cells were plated in 96-well plate and cell growth was monitored under real-timed cell analyzer, xCELLigence. Data were presented as the means ± S.D. of triplicated experiments (t-test; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01).
