A Workflow of ChIRP coupled with mass spectrometry (ChIRP-MS) or RNA-seq (ChIRP-RNA-seq) to identify molecules associated with TM4SF1-AS1. B qRT-PCR confirming enrichment of TM4SF1-AS1 in ChIRP products derived from SNU638-TM4SF1-AS1 cells. (n = 3). C Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network among the proteins identified by ChIRP-MS. Functional categories of the proteins are indicated by node colors. D RIP-qPCR assays validating the ChIRP-MS results. The indicated proteins in HSC-45 cells were immunoprecipitated, and co-precipitated TM4SF1-AS1 was detected by qRT-PCR. IgG served as a negative control. (n = 3). E Immunofluorescence images showing staining of the SG marker G3PB2 in SNU638, SNU638-GFP, and SNU638-TM4SF1-AS1 cells treated with or without sodium arsenite (SA). Summarized results are shown on the right (n = 5). Scale bars = 10 μm. F Immunofluorescence indicating G3BP2 (green), TIA1 (white), and inducible MS2-tagged TM4SF1-AS1 (red) in SNU638 cells. Cells were transfected with a MS2 coat protein (MCP)-RFP plasmid and incubated for 8 days with or without Dox. Magnified views of the respective markers are shown on the right. Scale bars = 10 μm. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
