Results.

The probability that PLATexpression is directly modulated by steroid is supported by the fact that the PLATgene has multiple transcription factor binding sites. Bioinformatic analysis (DECODE—SABiosciences) reveals that both the human and mouse PLAT genes have binding sites for the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) (alpha and beta), AP1, CREB and NF-KappaB (all reported to act with GR to cause gene repression) within the genomic interval of 20 kB upstream and 10 kb downstream of the gene start codon, suggesting that such direct regulation is possible. In experiments in HTM cells from two donors, the inventors detected PLAT expression downregulation as early as 1 hour after prednisolone administration (FIG. 8). Thus, steroid treatment downregulates tPA. In addition, tPA downregulation represents a biomarker for the development of steroid-induced IOP elevation.

In addition, an additional study on HTM cells indicates that steroid regulation of PLAT is dependent on the first 800 bases proximal to the ATG site of PLAT (FIG. 9).

Cardiac fibroblasts (30×106) were fixed in 1% formaldehyde, lysed in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 10 mM EDTA, 1% SDS, protease inhibitor cocktail Set I CALBIOCHEM) and sonicated using a EpiShear Multi-Sample Sonicator (Active Motif), leading to fragments between 300 and 1000 bp. ChIP was performed using a commercially available ChIP-IT High Sensitivity Kit (Active Motif) according to manufacturer’s instructions. DNA-bound protein was immunoprecipitated using an anti-p53 antibody (Catalog#ab31333, Abcam) and anti IgG (Catalog#SC-2025, Santa Cruz) as a negative control. The DNA recovered was analyzed by quantitative real time-PCR using different primers sets that amplified the promoter region of Hoxa9, Hoxd3, CLDNS, Nos3 and negative control genes:
Primers for p53 binding were designed using the SABiosciences’ proprietary database (DECODE, DECipherment Of DNA Elements). Available from: http://www.sabiosciences.com/chipqpcrsearch PCR was performed with equal amounts of specific antibody immunoprecipitated sample, control (IgG) and Input. Values were normalized to input measurements and enrichment was calculated using the comparative Delta-DeltaCt (ΔΔCt) method. Data shown correspond to one representative assay (i.e. 3 PCRs) from a total of 3 independent assays each run with different sets of treated cells.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
