Effect of an inflammation-inducible promoter on plasmid-specific gene expression. CMT-93 cells were incubated for 2 h with E. coli BM2710 / pGB2Ωinv-hly carrying either plasmid pC1ΩTGF-β1 or pC1ΩTGF-β1IND. Monolayers were then washed and cultured in complete medium for 48 additional hours. Where specified, rIL-1β (10 ng / ml), rTNFα (10 ng / ml), or LPS (10 μg / ml), was added to the culture medium. (a) RT-PCR was performed on total RNA extracted from monolayers to identify GAPDH and plasmid-specific TGF-β1 transcripts. For each condition four separate determinations were performed, a representative experiment is reported. (b) After 24 h, conditioned medium was collected and TGF-β1 level was measured by ELISA. Data represent means±s.e. of three separate experiments with triplicate determinations. *denotes P<0.01 versus control, + denotes P<0.05 versus control.
