9XGlucose Sensing Promoter
This composite part is a kind of improved promoter which is sensitive to particular high blood glucose concentration.
Usage and Biology
Because there is high blood glucose concentration in diabetics, in order to get improved gene which is sensitive to diabetics it’s convenient to employ promoter which reacts to high blood glucose. Transcription factor -- ChREBP -- can be effectively expressed with high blood glucose. Meanwhile, heterodimer which consists of ChREBP and Mlx can combine with gene promoter ChoRE to induce gene transcription¹.Therefore, we choose ChoRE as promoter of engineered plasmid and connect it with minP to indicates a transcription start site. In addition, we increase the number of ChoRE to realize that engineered gene will be activated by particular high blood glucose concentration instead of normal blood glucose concentration.
In this composite part, we used one minP and nine ChoRE and apply luciferase gene as downstream reporter in plasmid PGL3-9XGSP to verify its ability.

Materials
PGL3-9XGSP
PGL3-minP
Hepg2 cell line
Dual Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit from from Beyotime company
Method
We separately transfected plasmids PGL3-9XGSP and PGL3-minP into hepg2 cells. After culturing these cells with glucose-free culture, we created low glucose concentration environment for cells and then stimulated cells with 20 mM glucose concentration culture. After 48 hours, these cells were gathered and dissoved for luciferase expression test with Dual Luciferase Reporter Gene Assay Kit of Beyotime company.

Result
In the histogram below, the left is the result of PGL3-minP and the right is of PGL3-9XGSP. Taking renilla as the internal reference and comparing with the control experiment, we can find that the luciferase expression of PGL3-9XGSP is much higher than the expression of PGL3-minP. This result strong proves that CHoRE can significantly improve minP promoter’s promoting intensity.
