Changes in Rluc expression observed as the VEGF PQS with no base modifications replaced key sequence elements in the SV40 promoter. (A) Promoter diagram to identify the color key for the plots. Relative response ratios (RRR = Rluc/luc) measured when the VEGF PQS replaced key elements of the SV40 promoter in plasmids that were transfected in (B) U87, (C) HepG2 or (D) HeLa cell lines. The values were normalized to the native SV40 promoter for comparison (normalized RRR = RRRexpt/RRRSV40). The luciferase expression levels were determined using a dual-glo luciferase assay conducted 48 h post transfection. The RRRs measured were normalized to the native psiCHECK2 plasmid RRR in the same cell line to account for cell-specific differences in expression.
