A The distribution of SNORD51 (red), WDR33 (green) and nuclear fractions (blue) of U251 and U373 cells was detected by IF and FISH. Nuclei were labeled with DAPI. Scale bars: 20 µm. B An enrichment of SNORD51 in WDR33 immunoprecipitated samples via RIP assay. Relative enrichment was measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3, each group).*P < 0.05 versus normal IgG group; **P < 0.01 versus normal IgG group. C RNA pull-down assay followed by western blot confirmed specific associations of WDR33 with biotinylated-SNORD51. D According to the RNAInter Database, the result showed that the binding sites of WDR33 existed in the 3’ UTR of ZBED6 pre-mRNA. E 3’ RACE PCR amplified full length 3’ UTR of ZBED6 followed by agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed that there was only one polyadenylation product. The sequence of product was detected by Sanger sequencing. F An enrichment of 3’UTR of ZBED6 pre-mRNA in WDR33 immunoprecipitated samples via RIP assay. Relative enrichment was measured by quantitative real-time PCR. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3, each group).*P < 0.05 versus normal IgG group; **P < 0.01 versus normal IgG group. G RNA pull-down assay followed by western blot confirmed specific associations of WDR33 with biotinylated-3’UTR of ZBED6 pre-mRNA. H The reverse effect of WDR33 on SNORD51 in term of mRNA expression of ZBED6 in U251 and U373 cells. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3, each group). *P < 0.05 versus Control group; **P < 0.01 versus Control group; #P < 0.05 versus SNORD51(+) + WDR33( + )NC group. I Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) experiment proved that biotin-labeled 3’UTR of ZBED6 pre-mRNA probe could bind to WDR33. J EMSA experiment proved that biotin-labeled SNORD51 probe could bind to WDR33. K The biotin-labeled 3’UTR of ZBED6 pre-mRNA probe could The 3’UTR probe labeled with biotin ZBED6pre-mRNA could competitively bind WDR33 with the non-biotin labeled SNORD51 probe.
