Figure Lengend Snippet: A The volcano plot displays the outcomes of RNA-seq analysis for genes that exhibit differential expression between KO-YBX1 and KO-NC CRC cells. B KEGG analysis identifies signaling pathways significantly affected by YBX1 knockdown in CRC cells. C Pie chart m5C peaks for percentage of YBX1 high confidence target genes. D A total of 132 genes were detected in the intersection of YBX1 post-KD down-regulation and gene fetching detected in YBX1 LACE-seq. E Changes in the expression levels of nine genes including FGF9 after knockdown of YBX1 in HT-29 and DLD-1 detected by qRT-PCR. n = 3 per group. F RIP assay to detect the enrichment of EREG, MAFG, GAS6 RNA on YBX1 protein. n = 3 per group. G Stability of EREG, MAFG and GAS6 detection after knockdown of YBX1 or TRIM31. n = 3 per group. H Schematic representation of m5C modification sites and sequencing in EREG mRNAs. Detection of EREG mRNA levels ( I ) and m5C modification levels ( J ) after knockdown of NSUN2. n = 3 per group. K , L IHC staining of TRIM31, YBX1, and EREG in colorectal cancer tissues from 24 patients ( K ). Scale bar, 20 µm. Pearson’s correlation analysis was performed to assess the association between TRIM31 expression and the expression levels of YBX1 and EREG, respectively ( L ). n = 24 per group. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Sections were blocked with 5% BSA and incubated overnight at 4 °C with a primary antibody against TRIM31 (Proteintech, UK) at a 1:200 dilution.
