We identified four NF-κB transcription factor binding sites in the promoter region of this gene using luciferase reporter system, chromatin immunoprecipitation, electromobility shift assay, and supershift analysis. In the present study, we investigated how TGEV infection activated the NF-κ B pathway in vitro and up-regulated pFcRn expression in IPEC-J2 cells. Furthermore, pFcRn expression induced by TGEV infection was strongly reduced by the NF-κ B-specific inhibitor BAY 11-7082 in IPEC-J2 cells (Fig. 3) . Transient transfection of the pFcRn promoter luciferase reporter plasmids revealed that pFcRn-luc-(1-3) plasmids resulted in increased promoter activity in the presence of TGEV infection (Fig. 4B) , further demonstrating that TGEV up-regulates pFcRn expression in IPEC-J2 cells. In summary, TGEV infection up-regulates pFcRn expression in IPEC-J2 cells, and activates the NF-κ B signaling pathway. ./cache/cord-002177-yyfgl9x5.txt ./txt/cord-002177-yyfgl9x5.txt
