Transcriptional regulation of DDR genes by CUX1. (A) MCF7 cells were transfected with CUX1-specific siRNA. Top panel: mRNA and protein levels of CUX1 are shown following knockdown. Bottom panel: mRNA levels of DDR gene targets are shown. All mRNA levels are normalized to Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT). The values are the mean of three measurements and error bars represent standard deviation. *P < 0.05 on a student's t-test. (B) Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were obtained from Cux1 knockout embryos (cux1Z/Z) and wild-type littermates. Levels of CUX1 and DDR gene targets are shown as in A; *in top panel corresponds to non-specific band recognized by CUX1 antibody. (C) Hs578T cells were infected with a retrovirus expressing p110 CUX1 or with the empty vector. RNA was prepared 24 h post-infection and levels of DDR target genes was measured by real-time PCR and normalized to HPRT. The values are the mean of three measurements and error bars represent standard deviation. (D) The promoter regions of target genes were cloned into a luciferase reporter plasmid. Hs578T cells were transfected with each reporter plasmid along with a vector expressing p110 CUX1 or with an empty vector. The values are the mean of three measurements and error bars represent standard deviation.
