| Description: | Nuclear extract preparations and DNA-binding activity/electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) were carried out as previously described (Zhang X, et al., (2010) Biochem Pharmacol 79:1398-409; Zhang X, et al., (2012) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 109:9623-8). The 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probes used were hSIE (high affinity sis-inducible element from the c-fos gene, m67 variant, 5′-AGCTTCATTTCCCGTAAATCCCTA) (SEQ ID NO: 1) that binds Stat1 and Stat3 and MGFe (mammary gland factor element from the bovine β-casein gene promoter, 5′-AGATTTCTAGGAATTCAA) (SEQ ID NO: 2) for Stat1 and Stat5 binding. Except where indicated, nuclear extracts were pre-incubated with compound for 30 min at room temperature prior to incubation with the radiolabeled probe for 30 min at 30° C. before subjecting to EMSA analysis. Where appropriate, bands corresponding to Stat3:DNA complexes were scanned and quantified for each concentration of compound using ImageJ and plotted as percent of control (DMSO) against concentration of compound, from which the IC50 values were derived. |
