    (a) Schematic diagram for constructing wild-type or mutant promoter at the ABCG1 rs57137919G>A polymorphism site. Two constructs were subcloned into <t>pGL3-basic</t> plasmid vectors with firefly luciferase reporter gene. pG, -367G (open bar); pA, -367A (grey bar). Luciferase activity assays for two ABCG1 promoter constructs in HEK293T cells (b), THP-1 cells (c), and HepG2 cells (d) are shown. Luciferase activities were measured with the dual-luciferase reporter assay system and normalized to Renilla luciferase activity 24 hours after transfection in the presence or absence of TO901317. The luciferase activity was a corrected relative value. Data are shown as mean ± SD of four independent experiments in triplicate. P <0.01 vs. pG in HEK293 cells, THP-1 cells, and HepG2 cells under both basal state and LXR agonist stimulation.

    Article Snippet: Murine HO-1 promoters (−1385/+137), 1522bp using primers 5’-AAGGTACCTGAGGCTGGAGAGATGGCC-3’ and 3’-TAAAAGCTTCACCGGACTGGGCTAGTTCAG-5’ were PCR amplified and cloned in promoterless PGL3 enhancer empty vector (Promega, E1771) at the upstream of luciferase gene.

    (a) Schematic diagram for constructing wild-type or mutant promoter at the ABCG1 rs57137919G>A polymorphism site. Two constructs were subcloned into pGL3-basic plasmid vectors with firefly luciferase reporter gene. pG, -367G (open bar); pA, -367A (grey bar). Luciferase activity assays for two ABCG1 promoter constructs in HEK293T cells (b), THP-1 cells (c), and HepG2 cells (d) are shown. Luciferase activities were measured with the dual-luciferase reporter assay system and normalized to Renilla luciferase activity 24 hours after transfection in the presence or absence of TO901317. The luciferase activity was a corrected relative value. Data are shown as mean ± SD of four independent experiments in triplicate. P <0.01 vs. pG in HEK293 cells, THP-1 cells, and HepG2 cells under both basal state and LXR agonist stimulation.
