Fig. 6From: Transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha up-regulates microRNA let-7a-1 in lung cancer cells by direct bindingTargeting of let-7a-1 promoter by C/EBPα. ChIP assay was performed on H1299 cells transfeted with pcDNA3.1(+) or pcDNA3.1(+)-C/EBPα. C/EBPα proteins were immunoprecipitated from DNA–protein cross-linked cell lysates. After the removal of all proteins, the recovered DNA was precipitated by ethanol and amplified by PCR using primers specific for let-7a-1 promoterBack to article page
