The Renilla luciferase gene is commonly used as an internal control in luciferase-based reporter gene assays to normalize the values of the experimental reporter gene for variations that could be caused by transfection efficiency and sample handling. Various plasmids encoding Renilla luciferase under different promoter constructs are commercially available. The validity of the use of Renilla luciferase as an internal control is based on the assumption that it is constitutively expressed in transfected cells and that its constitutive expression is not modulated by experimental factors that could result in either the upregulation or the downregulation of the amounts of the enzyme produced. During the past ten years, a number of reports have appeared that identified a variety of conditions that could alter the basal constitutive expression of Renilla luciferase. The use of Renilla luciferase in those circumstances would not be valid and an alternative way of normalization would be necessary. This review covers the factors that have been reported thus far as modulating the expression of Renilla luciferase from plasmid constructs.
