Fig. 4. SOX9 regulates TSPAN8 mRNA expression by directly binding to its promoter.

Fig. 4

A 293 T cells with transient expression of Flag-SOX9 and sites in the TSPAN8 promoter were cultured for 48 h for a luciferase activity assay. B Wild-type (wt) and mutant (mut) binding sites for SOX9 in the TSPAN8 promoter region. C A luciferase activity assay was performed in 293 T cells with transient expression of the wt or mut TSPAN8 gene promoter and Flag-SOX9. D ChIP-qPCR analysis was performed. The Y axis shows the value normalized to the input. E EMSA was performed with Flag-SOX9 and probes for the site 1, site 2, mut 1 or mut 2 region of the TSPAN8 promoter. A, C and D, the experiments were performed in triplicate, and the t test was performed. The values are presented as the means ± SDs. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 and ****P < 0.0001.
