FIG. 8.
p43 expression induces a T3-dependent stimulation of the activity of reporter genes driven by the D loop or mitochondrial T3REs. (A) Representation of the construction used in CAT assays. (B) Transient-transfection assays were performed with T3-deprived QM7 cells by using the expression vectors and CAT reporter genes indicated in the figure. All results were normalized according to the β-galactosidase activity and are expressed as percentages of the control value. Data are presented as the means ± the SEM of five separate experiments. When indicated, 10−8 M T3 was added to the culture medium.
