摘要: To clarify the molecular basis of human TLR9 (hTLR9) gene expression, activity hTLR9 promoter was characterized using myeloma cell line RPMI 8226. Reporter analysis and EMSA demonstrated that transcription regulated via four cis-acting elements, cAMP response element, 5'-PU box, 3'-PU a C/EBP site, interacted with CREB1, Ets2, Elf1, Elk1, C/EBPalpha factors. Other members family, such as C/EBPbeta, C/EBPdelta, C/EBPepsilon, were also important for transcription. CpG DNA-mediated suppression led to decreased binding trans-acting factors their corresponding elements. It appeared mediated c-Jun NF-kappaB p65 cooperation among culminated in maximal gene. These findings will help elucidate mechanism regulation provide insight into process by which evolved mammalian immune system.
