Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Real-time qPCR analysis of TET2 mRNA expression in control and PCIF1-KO cells ( n = 3). P > 0.05 by 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test. ( B and C ) Real-time qPCR analysis of TET2 mRNA levels at the indicated times in control and PCIF1-KO SCC9 ( B ) and SCC25 ( C ) cells after actinomycin D treatment ( n = 3). P > 0.05 by 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t test. ( D and E ) TET2 expression ( D ) and DNA 5mC and 5hmC modification levels ( E ) were detected in control and PCIF1-KO cells. ( F and G ) TET2 expression ( F ) and DNA 5mC and 5hmC modification levels ( G ) were detected in SCC1 control cells and cells transfected with WT (OE) or mutant PCIF1 plasmid (OE mut ). MB, Methylene blue. ( H ) Schematic diagram of TET2 5′-UTR m 6 Am site mutations. Red arrows denote A594G and A604G mutation. ( I ) Luciferase activity of TET2 5′-UTR WT or TET2 5′-UTR m 6 Am site mutation (5′-UTR MUT) in SCC1 control cells and cells transfected with WT (OE) or mutant PCIF1 plasmid (OE mut ) ( n = 3). P > 0.05, *** P < 0.001 by 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test. ( J and K ) RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)–qPCR analysis of TET2 mRNA retrieved by anti-PCIF1 ( J ) and anti-CTBP2 ( K ) antibody in control and PCIF1-KO cells ( n = 3). P > 0.05, *** P < 0.001 by 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t test. ( L ) RIP-qPCR analysis of TET2 mRNA retrieved by anti-PCIF1 antibody in CTBP2-KO cells transfected with vector (sgCTBP2), PCIF1 binding–defective mutant of CTBP2 (ΔCB-1), and WT CTBP2 ( n = 3). P > 0.05, *** P < 0.001 by 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple-comparison test.
Article Snippet: After blocking with 5% nonfat milk, the membrane was incubated with anti-5mC (Abcam, ab73938) and anti-5hmC (Proteintech, 40900) antibody at 4°C overnight, followed by secondary antibody.
