ELF-1 targeted the CCL2 promoter region and activated CCL2/CCR2 signaling. (A) The ELF-1 target site in the promoter region of CCL2 was presented. Endogenous ELF-1 binding to the CCL2 promoter was assessed using ChIP assay. (B and C) A luciferase assay was used to detect the transcription of CCL2 in ELF-1-overexpressing transfectants or siELF-1 transfectants in a dose-dependent manner. (D and E) mRNA expression levels of survivin and VEGF-A were determined in overexpressing-ELF-1 and siELF-1 NPC cells by Q-RT-PCR. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001.

Abbreviations: CCL2, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2; CCR2, C-C chemokine receptor 2; ChIP, Chromatin immunoprecipitation; MTT, 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
