摘要
We report that the activity of the firefly luciferase (LUC) reporter gene is down-regulated by T3 and T3 receptor (TR) in the CV1 mammalian cell line, which is widely used for studies of TR action. Repression was highly reproducible, T3 and TR dependent, promoter independent, and observed regardless of whether an internal control for transfection efficiency was used. Cotransfections with normal and mutant TRs indicate that the negative T3 response is mediated by sequences within the LUC gene coding region, and is not due to the interaction of TR with a limiting transcription factor. Negative regulation of the LUC reporter was overcome by a strong, cis-linked T3 response element (TRE), but continued in the presence of a TRE of moderate strength. The results described here demonstrate that conclusions drawn from studies of TRE structure and activity performed using the LUC reporter in CV1 cells should be interpreted with caution.
