ChIP assays were performed to determine occupancy of RelB/p52 at <i>CRH</i> (<b>A</b>) and <i>COX-2</i> (<b>B</b>), and also occupancy of RelA at the <i>CRH</i> (<b>C</b>) and <i>COX-2</i> (<b>D</b>) gene promoter. Fold enrichment was derived with normalization to a human DNA a satellite, a non-coding DNA sequence to which no transcriptional factors should bind. Rabbit IgG was used as a non-specific control. The bars indicate the average of fold enrichment with error bars representing the standard deviation from three independent experiments. * p < 0.01.</p> 2016-01-18 15:12:56 Human Placenta Women phthalate metabolites gene activity crh mehp preterm birth mechanism cox relb Protein abundance pathway
