title: [Construction and identification of recombinant firefly luciferase report vector containing human acyl coenzyme a: cholesterol acyltransferase 1 gene P7 promoter].
abstract: The DNA segment of the human acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferasel (ACAT1) gene P7 promoter was amplified by PCR from human monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) and cloned to TA vector, then the positive clone was confirmed by restriction enzymes and sequencing. The targeted segment was subcloned to Firefly luciferase report vector pGL3-Enhancer. The recombinant plasmid pGL3E-P7 was transfected transiently into THP-1, then the expression of luciferase could be detected in THP-1 by pGL3E-P7 transfection. We successfully constructed luciferase reporter vector containing P7 promoter of the human ACAT1 gene, and established a new means to study the transcriptional regulation mechanisms of ACAT1 during atherosclerosis.
