a Relative GREB1 and FOXO1 mRNA abundance in human endometrial stromal cells transfected with control or GREB1 siRNA and treated with MPA or vehicle for 4 hr. Analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons post-test. Data reported as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. b Relative GREB1 and PR protein concentrations in human endometrial stromal cells transfected with control or GREB1 siRNA and treated with vehicle or MPA. Right side panel depicts the GREB1 protein quantification. GAPDH serves as a loading control. Analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons post-test. Data reported as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. c PCR products amplified with the indicated FOXO1 primers (shown in map in Supplementary Fig 1a, after immunoprecipitating DNA with anti-GREB1 or anti-PR antibody. UNTR, untranscribed region. d ChIP-qPCR validation of PR binding on the FOXO1 region in HESCs treated with control siRNA or GREB1 siRNA prior to 4 hr MPA treatment. Data are represented as fold enrichment of IgG and PR over that of the negative control region. Analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons post-test. Data reported as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. e Whole-cell lysates isolated from human endometrial stromal cells treated with 1 µM MPA or vehicle for 4 h, immunoprecipitated with PR antibody or control IgG, and immunoblotted with GREB1 (top panel) or PR (bottom panel) antibody. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM from three biological replicates from a representative experiment (experiment repeated three times). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. f The heatmap of GREB1 binding peaks from HESCs using CUT&RUN sequencing analysis. g IGV track visualization of GREB1 peaks on DUSP10 and PHF20 gene clusters. h Venn diagrams illustrating the overlap between GREB1 and PR peaks (left) and called genes (right) from the GREB1 and PR cistromes.
