Figure 2

Selection of 45 IL-1-responsive genes and AIC analysis. (A) Ratios of mRNA expression in chondrocytes. The grayscale columns marked "-" and "+" represent the mRNA levels without and with the IL-1 treatment, respectively. The color-coded column displays the logarithmic mRNA expression ratio (the mRNA level in cells treated with IL-1 to the untreated control level). The darker color indicates the greater alteration, and "red" and "green" illustrate up- and down-regulation, respectively. (B) Modeled mRNA ratios based on the 300-bp upstream regulatory DNA region. As TFBM candidates, 512 DNA fragments, 5 bp in length, were considered. The mathematical models with (a) 1, (b) 2, (c) 4, (d) 8, (e) 16, and (f) 32 putative TFBMs are illustrated. (C) AIC analysis. The minimum AIC value was obtained when the number of TFBMs was 8.
