Figure Lengend Snippet: COS-7 cells were co-transfected with a TRα or TRα+RXRα expression vectors. Cells were treated with or without 5 nM T3, or with T3 in the presence of 10 µM 1–850. Firefly luciferase expression was normalized to renilla luciferase expression. Experiments were run in triplicate and repeated at least 3 times. Data are presented as means ± standard error of the mean. Asterisks (*) denote a significant difference, p≤0.05, determined by one way ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test; (ns) denote no significant difference, p≥0.05.
Article Snippet: Twenty-four hours after seeding, cells were transfected using FUGENE HD (Promega) with 100 ng of the reporter plasmid of interest (see ), and co-transfected with 10 ng pRL-CMV(Promega) and 50 ng TRα (SC307938, Origene, MD, USA) with and without 50 ng RXRα (MC216284, Origene).
