STAT3 trans-activates TG2 gene expression to promote IL-6-induced EMT. (A) Human TG2 gene promoter (NC_000020.11) containing -1572/+217 was cloned and then truncations of four subclones: -1205/+217, -851/+217, -392/+217 and -35/+217 in pGL3B were used to construct the reporter plasmids of TG2 (TG2-Luc), and performed luciferase reporter assay. (B) A conserved STAT3 binding motif was located in the region of -317 to -307. Mutagenesis was performed to destroy STAT3 potential binding site. (C) Luciferase reporter assay was performed using wild type and mutant TG2 gene promoter. (D) Co-immuno-precipitation of pSTAT3-S727 and histone H1 was performed. (E) Chromatin-immuno-precipitation of pSTAT3-S727 targeting TG2 promoter was performed.
