Figure Lengend Snippet: (A, B) HH514-16 BL cells were seeded at 5 × 10 5 /ml. After 24 hours, one million cells were infected with lenti-shControl (shCtrl) or lenti-sh ZC3H18 (sh ZC3H18 #1, #2) and selected with puromycin (5 µg/mL) for 7 days followed by immunoblotting with indicated antibodies (A) or RT-qPCR to quantify IKBα , p65 , and p50 transcript levels (B). (C, D) HH514-16 cells underwent ChIP with indicated antibodies or control IgG, followed by qPCR with primers targeting the promoter regions of IKBα , p65 , and p50 (C) or gene body regions of ZC3H18 and BRCA2 (D). Data were normalized to input. (E) HH514-16 cells were seeded at 5 × 10 5 /ml. After 24 hours, one million cells were transfected with two siRNAs targeting ZC3H18 or control siRNA and harvested after another 24 hours for immunoblotting with indicated antibodies. (F) HH514-16 BL cells were seeded at 5 × 10 5 /ml. After 24 hours, one million cells were infected with lenti-shControl (shCtrl) or lenti-sh ZC3H18 (sh ZC3H18 #1, #2) in the presence of puromycin (5 µg/mL) for 7 days and then analyzed by RT-qPCR to quantify BRCA1 and BRCA2 transcripts. Error bars in B, C, D, and F represent SEM of 3 technical replicates; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001 (versus control); NS, not significant; experiments were performed twice.
