a C-Jun overexpression upregulated miR-4476 confirmed by QPCR assays. b Schematic representation of the promoter regions of miR-4476 with the putative c-Jun TFBSs (site A and site B) and the structure of the wild-type (WT) and TFBS mutant (MutA, MutB, and MutAB) luciferase reporters driven by the promoter. c ChIP-QPCR and PCR gel showed there was significant c-Jun enrichment in the specific regions containing the two predicted binding sites. d EMSA result was shown from nuclear proteins extracted from U87 and LN229 cells after incubation with individual DIG-ddUTP-labelled oligonucleotide probes (lanes 2–6, 9–13). The free probe of labelled c-Jun was run in lanes 1 and 8 as a control. A 100-fold excess of unlabelled c-Jun-WT was used to compete with c-Jun binding (lanes 2 and 9, compared with lanes 6 and 13). A 100-fold excess of unlabeled mutated c-Jun-A and c-Jun-B was used to compete with binding of respective labelled probes (lanes 3–5 and lanes 10–12 compared with lanes 2 and 8). e Relative luciferase activity of the indicated promoter vectors in 293 T cells transfected with c-Jun plasmids. Mean ± S.D., *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001.
