Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5 LEADR regulates basal–luminal differentiation. a Bright-field images showing morphological changes occurring in RWPE-1 (left) and PrEC (right) cells (day 3) upon LEADR silencing by siLEADR (top) or gapLEADR (bottom). Scale bar, 50 µm. Full-size images reported in Supplementary Fig. 4c. b qRT-PCR showing changes in basal and luminal cytokeratins in RWPE-1 or PrEC cells upon LEADR silencing by siLEADR (top) or gapLEADR (bottom). Mean + s.d. plotted. c Western blots showing changes in basal/luminal cytokeratins in RWPE-1 (left) or PrEC (right) cells upon LEADR silencing by siLEADR (top) or gapLEADR (bottom). Vinculin used as loading control. d Immunofluorescence showing cytoplasmic re-localization of p63 (green) upon LEADR silencing in RWPE-1 cells by siLEADR (top) or gapLEADR (bottom). Nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 50 µm. Full-size images are reported in Supplementary Fig. 4d. e Western blots showing changes in Androgen Receptor (AR) expression in PrEC cells upon LEADR silencing by siLEADR (left) or gapLEADR (right). GAPDH used as loading control. f Immunofluorescence showing AR (red) expression in PrEC cells upon LEADR silencing by siLEADR, in the presence or absence of simultaneous DHT stimulation. Nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 50 µm. Full-size images reported in Supplementary Fig. 4g. g ELISA-based quantification of PSA in the conditioned media of PrEC cells silenced for LEADR expression by siLEADR (±DHT). Mean + s.d. (n = 2) plotted. h Heatmap (bottom) of the normalized enrichment score (NES) for luminal and basal custom gene sets (obtained from gene- expression data of frankly basal and luminal prostate cells from the indicated datasets) in RWPE-1 cells upon knockdown of LEADR and/or miR-205 (the latter abrogated using an antisense LNA-modified oligomer, LNA205). Bar plot of differential luminal/basal NES is reported (top). Mean + s.d. (n = 4) plotted. i Plot showing propensity of wild type (wt), LEADR-overexpressing and CRISPRed RWPE-1 cells to differentiate toward luminal phenotype (measured by qRT-PCR and expressed as KRT18/KRT5 ratio) upon culturing in media with increasing differentiative potential (n = 3). ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001 (Student’s t test).
