Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. DNA methylation analysis of FPDMM-mimicking HPCs. (a) Overlaps of hypermethylated (left) and hypomethylated (right) CpGs between RUNX1WT/R201Q (blue) and RUNX1WT/Y287X (red) HPCs. (b) (Left) The known HOCOMOCO v11 binding motif for GABPA (top), FEV (middle), and ELF1 (bottom). (Middle and right) Distribution of ETS family TF-binding motif-enrichment. The X- and Y-axes show the distance from DMC (bp) and probability of TF-binding motifs, respectively. Solid lines are probabilities at ± 5 kb for hypermethylated DMCs in RUNX1WT/R201Q (middle) and RUNX1WT/Y287X (right) HPCs, and dashed lines are probabilities at ± 5 kb from randomly selected CpGs. Data that are significantly enriched (E-value of the Fisher’s exact test < 0.05) and ranked in the top-20 of Fisher E-value rankings are presented. Blue: GABPA- binding motif, red: FEV-binding motif, and pink: ELF1-binding motif. (c) Expression of ELF1 (left) and FLI1 (right) in RUNX1WT/R201Q (blue) and RUNX1WT/Y287X (red) HPCs compared to wild-type cells, confirmed using qRT-PCR. The X-axis shows the target genes, and the Y-axis represents the fold-change. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of four biological replicates. Asterisks denote significant difference: *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01. (d) Distribution of enrichment for FLI1-binding sites, as determined by CUT&RUN sequencing for FLI1 in wild- type HPCs, showing the regions within ± 5 kb of the hypermethylated DMCs in RUNX1WT/Y287X HPCs (red line). Gray line represents FLI1-binding site-enrichment at regions around randomly selected CpGs.
Article Snippet: Primary antibody against human FLI1 (FLI1 (D7N5M) Rabbit mAb; #35980; Cell Signaling Technology) was added and cells were incubated overnight at 4 °C.
