Figure Lengend Snippet: FTO promotes the expression of IGFBP2 in an m 6 A-dependent manner. A , B Expression of IGFBP2 assessed by qPCR ( A ) and western blotting ( B ) in SKNO-1 or Kasumi-1 cells transduced lentivirally with wild-type FTO (wt-FTO), mutant FTO (mut-FTO), or mock vectors. C , D Decreased expression of IGFBP2 detected by qPCR ( C ) and western blotting ( D ) in SKNO-1 and Kasumi-1 cells after knockdown of FTO by shRNAs. E , F Expression of IGFBP2 analyzed by qPCR ( E ) and western blotting ( F ) in SKNO-1 or Kasumi-1 cells after FB23-2 treatment for 72 h. G RIP-qPCR showing the interaction between IGFBP2 mRNA transcripts and FTO protein in SKNO-1 and Kasumi-1 cells. H , I The levels of m 6 A in IGFBP2 transcripts assessed by gene-specific m 6 A qPCR assay in SKNO-1 and Kasumi-1 cells transduced with wt-FTO, mut-FTO, or control vector ( H ); or with FTO shRNA or shNS vectors ( I ). J Dual luciferase reporter assays for the effect of wild-type or mutant FTO on the relative luciferase activity of psiCHECK2-IGFBP2-3′-UTR with either wild-type or mutant m 6 A sites. K , L The mRNA half-life (t 1/2 ) of IGFBP2 transcripts in SKNO-1 and Kasumi-1 cells transduced with FTO shRNA or shNS vectors ( K ) or treated with DMSO or FB23-2 for 72 h ( L ). M – O RIP-qPCR showing the interaction between IGFBP2 mRNA transcripts and YTHDF1 ( M ), YTHDF2 ( N ) and YTHDF3 ( O ) protein in SKNO-1 and Kasumi-1 cells. P , Q Increased expression of IGFBP2 after YTHDF1, YTHDF2 and YTHDF3 knockdown analyzed by qPCR ( P ) and western blotting ( Q ) in SKNO-1 and Kasumi-1 cells
Article Snippet: The siRNA targeting the fusion site of the AML1-ETO mRNA (siAE#1, sense, 5′-CCUCGAAAUCGUACUGAGAAG-3′, antisense, 5′-UCUCAGUACGAUUUCGAGGUU-3′; siAE#2, sense, 5′-CCUCGAAAUCGUACUGAGATT-3′, antisense, 5′-UCUCAGUACGAUUUCGAGGTT-3′) was designed according to previous studies [ ] and was commercially synthesized by Sangon Biotech. siRNAs against human FTO (sc-75002), IGFBP2 (sc-37195), YTHDF2 (sc-78661) and YTHDF3 (sc-77724) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. siRNAs were transfected into cells using the 4D-Nucleofector System (Lonza, Cologne, Germany) with the SF Cell Line 4D-Nucleofector X Kit by DS-138 for SKNO-1 and CM137 for Kasumi-1.
