SCREENING METHOD OF COMPOUNDS SPECIFICALLY CONTROLLING TRANSCRIPTIONAL EXPRESSION OF CPT-1 GENE, AND CPT-1 EXPRESSION ENHANCER COMPRISING GENISTEIN WHICH IS SCREENED BY THE SAME METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: A screening method of compounds specifically controlling transcriptional expression of CPT-1 gene, and a CPT-1 expression enhancer comprising genistein which is screened by the same method are provided, thereby easily screening natural compounds reducing fat of human. CONSTITUTION: The screening method of compounds specifically controlling transcriptional expression of CPT-1 gene comprises the steps of: constructing a recombinant plasmid pCPT-1P-luc containing CPT-1 promoter and luciferase; producing a transformant Huh7 cell line(KCLRF-BP-00090) transformed with the recombinant plasmid pCPT-1P-luc; contacting a compound with the transformant Huh7 cell line(KCLRF-BP-00090); quantification of the signal produced by the contact; and comparing the signal amount measured with that of a control.
