Effects of putrescine on Atp8a1 gene expression in mouse NTH3T3 cells
Objective: To investigate the effects of putrescine on the expression of Atp8a1 in NIH3T3 cells and reveal its regulatory mechanism.Methods: DNA microarray and Real-time PCR were performed to detect the Atp8a1 gene expression in normal mouse liver and Azin1 knockout mouse liver.Atp8a1 promoter luciferase reporter plasmid
pGL3-Atp8a1-P
was constructed.NTH3T3 cells were transiently transfected with pGL3-Atp8a1-P
and cultured in medium with and without putrescine respectively.Then the luciferase activity was detected.Results: The relative luciferase activity was changed in the cells which were transfected with pGL3-Atp8a1-P when cultured in medium added with putrescine.Conclusion: Putrescine could down-regulate the Atp8a1 gene expression in NIH3T3 cells by inhibiting its promoter’s activity.
