Cloning of mouse monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 promoter and down-regulation of its activity by farnesoid X receptor
Objective To clone the mouse monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) promoter and analyze its activity. Methods Two promoter fragments of mouse MCP-1 gene were amplified from murine macrophage cell line ANA-1 and then cloned into luciferase reporter vector. They were respectively transfected with or without farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression vector into HEK293 cells. The luciferase activity of transfected HEK293 after the treatment of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA
50 μmol/L) was determined with chemiluminescent analysis and normalized against β-galactosidase activity. Results The 2 luciferase reporter vectors of MCP-1 promoter were successfully constructed. After treatment with CDCA
FXR expression vector transfection equivalently down-regulated the promoter activity of both mouse MCP-1 promoter fragments in HEK293 cells. Conclusion Activated by CDCA
FXR may down-regulate the activity of mouse MCP-1 promoter through negative FXR element which lies between position -322 and +82 bp.
