Aim To investigate the effects of Kruppel-like factor 4(KLF4). overexpression on the expression of heat shock protein25 (HSP25). Methods Two stable cell lines were made by transforming pcDNA3, 1/Myc-His (-) or pcDNA3. 1/Myc-His-KLF4 into C2 C12 cell. Reverse transcription polyrnerase chain reaefion(RT-PCR) and Western Blot were employed to study the influence of KLF4 on the expression of HSP25 mRNA and protein respectively under normal physiological and heat shock conditions. Results Under normal physiological condition, the expression ...
