Depletion of Hsp90, HDAC6, or Hsf1 all destabilize MIF protein. (A and B) MDA231 and 5637 cells were transfected with siRNA against the Hsp90 chaperone (A) or against HDAC6 (two different sequences, siHDAC6_1 and siHDAC6_2; B). After 3 d, MIF and Hsp90 protein levels were assessed by immunoblots. Representative blots from two independent experiments are shown. Actin, loading control. (C and D) 5637 and U2OS cells transfected with two different siRNAs against Hsf1 for 3 d (C), and MDA231 cells stably transfected with an shRNA against Hsf1 were immunoblotted for MIF, Hsp90, Hsp70, and Hsf1 (D). Representative blots from three independent experiments. Actin, loading control. (E) Untreated HCT116 cells were subjected to coimmunoprecipitation with anti-MIF or irrelevant anti-HA antibodies and immunoblotted with isoform-specific Hsp90 antibodies.
