a Epigenomics Roadmap indicates that genes with H3K4me3 peaks in their promoter regions are enriched in LFS astrocytes. b Word clouds represent proteins inferred with high confidence to interact with SVIL in LFS astrocytes. c Endogenous interaction between SVIL and MLL1 in LFS-GFP-SVIL astrocytes. d PLA analysis indicates that endogenous mutant p53 forms a complex with SVIL and MLL1 in LFS astrocytes. Scale bar, 10 µm. e Depletion of SVIL impairs p53(G245D)/SVIL/MLL1 complex formation in LFS astrocytes. f Depletion of SVIL impairs mutant p53/SVIL/MLL1 complex formation. Scale bar, 10 µm. g H3K4me3 peaks on the YTHDF2 promoter are reduced upon MLL1 depletion or MLL1 inhibition by OICR-9429 in LFS astrocytes. h RT-qPCR analysis demonstrates decreased YTHDF2 mRNA expression upon MLL1 knockdown in LFS astrocytes but not WT astrocytes (n = 3 biologically independent samples). i Immunoblotting indicates reduced YTHDF2 protein upon the treatment with MLL1 inhibitors OICR-9429 and MI-2-2 in LFS astrocytes. j OICR-9429 and MI-2-2 selectively inhibit cell proliferation of LFS astrocytes (n = 5 biologically independent samples). k In vitro AIG assay demonstrates decreased colony numbers upon MLL1 depletion in LFS astrocytes (n = 5 biologically independent samples). l Ectopic YTHDF2 expression rescues SVIL or MLL1 knockdown-induced growth inhibition in LFS astrocytes (n = 6 biologically independent samples). m In vitro AIG assay demonstrates decreased colony numbers upon SVIL or MLL1 knockdown that are rescued by YTHDF2 expression (n = 3 biologically independent samples)). n Colony-forming assay demonstrates that OICR-9429 and MI-2-2 cause more severe growth inhibition of LNZ308-p53(G245D) cells than LNZ308-Vector cells (n = 3 biologically independent samples). o Images of WT (mCherry+) and LFS (GFP+) co-cultured cerebral organoids examined by light sheet fluorescence microscopy. Scale bar, 500 µm. p OICR-9429 selectively inhibits proliferation of the LFS-derived population of WT/LFS co-cultured cerebral organoids (n = 19 biologically independent samples). The results are representative of at least three independent experiments (cf, i, o). The data are presented as the mean ± SEM; two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test (h, jn); unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test (p); ***P < 0.001. ns not significant. Source data and exact P values are provided in the Source Data file.
