a Immunoblotting of Cas9 and MCP in RAW264.7 cells transduced with lenti-dCas9-VP64 and lenti-MS2-P65-HSF1. b qPCR (upper) and immunoblotting (lower) of Tead3 in RAW264.7 cells with CRISPRa-mediated overexpression of Tead3. n = 3 biological replicates per group. c, d TRAP staining images (c) and quantification (d) of control and Tead3-overexpressing RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL (50 ng/mL) for 5 days. Multinucleated TRAP-positive cells (outlined by dashed lines) were counted. Scale bars, 100 μm. n = 3 wells per group. eg qPCR of Nfatc1 (e), Trap5 (f), and Ctsk (g) in control and Tead3-overexpressing RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL (50 ng/mL) for 3 days. n = 3 biological replicates per group. h Immunoblotting of Nfatc1, Ctsk, and Hsp90 in control and Tead3-overexpressing RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL (50 ng/mL) for 2 days and 5 days. i Immunoblotting of Tead3 and Hsp90 in RAW264.7 cells transfected with two independent Tead siRNAs or scrambled negative control (NC). j, k TRAP staining images (j) and quantification (k) of control and Tead3-knockdown RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL (50 ng/mL) for 5 days. Multinucleated TRAP-positive cells (outlined by dashed lines) were counted. Scale bars: 100 μm. n = 3 wells per group. l Immunoblotting of Nfatc1, Ctsk, and β-actin in control and Tead3-knockdown RAW264.7 cells treated with RANKL for 3 days and 5 days. m Immunoblotting of Tead3 and Hsp90 in control and Malat1-knockdown RAW264.7 cells transfected with Tead3 siRNA or scrambled negative control (NC). np Control and Malat1-knockdown RAW264.7 cells were transfected with Tead3 siRNA or scrambled negative control (NC). 24 h after siRNA transfection, the cells were treated with RANKL for 5 days, followed by TRAP staining (n) and quantification (o) of multinucleated TRAP-positive cells (outlined by dashed lines). Scale bars, 100 μm. Cell lysates were subjected to immunoblotting of Nfatc1, Ctsk, and β-actin (p). n = 3 wells per group in o. Statistical significance in b, dg, k, and o was determined by a two-tailed unpaired t test. Error bars are s.e.m. The experiments in a, h, i, l, m, and p were repeated independently three times, yielding similar results. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
