Promoter activity analysis of ToElovl4a gene. A. The structure and transcriptional activity of the ToElovl4a promoters. Five recombinant plasmids, denoted as Elovl4a-1 (−148 to +56), Elovl4a-2 (−500 to +56), Elovl4a-3 (−1001 to +56), Elovl4a-4 (−148 to +155) and Elovl4a-5 (−148 to +258), were constructed and transfected with transcription factor PPARαb into HEK 293 T cells. B. Dual luciferase activity driven by the ToElovl4a-5 core promoter upon the transfection of pcDNA3.1-PPAR-α and pcDNA3.1 in HEK 293 T cells. All values are presented as the means ± SD (n = 3). Asterisks indicate that the values are memorably different from the individual controls (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01). Bars on the same group with different letters are statistically significant from one another.
