Applications of BBa_K2100001

We characterized the synthetic ERE5 promoter in three cell lines: MCF-7, tHESC, and ISH. All cell lines have endogeneous Estrogen Receptor alpha. We analyzed data from cells induced with estradiol (E2) and uninduced as a control.

Experiment in MCF-7:

We transfected MCF-7 cells with 250ng of hEF1a-mKate as a transfection marker and 250 ng pERE5-eYFP to examine the promoter's transcriptional activity by observing increases in yellow fluorescence upon cells being induced with 5 nM E2.

The results show a fold difference in yellow fluorescent output between the induced MCF-7 cells and the uninduced cells with a vehicle control (0.4% EtOH) to account for the possible increase in proliferation cells undergo when being induced with E2 dissolved in ethanol.

Experiment in tHESC:

We transfected tHESC cells with 250ng of hEF1a-mKate as a transfection marker and 250 ng pERE5-eYFP to examine the promoter's transcriptional activity by observing increases in yellow fluorescence upon cells being induced with 5 nM E2.

The results show a fold difference in yellow fluorescent output between the induced MCF-7 cells and the uninduced cells with a vehicle control (0.4% EtOH) to account for the possible increase in proliferation cells undergo when being induced with E2 dissolved in ethanol.
