Figure 2. HoxD10 binds to the promoter region of IGFBP3 gene.
(A) Schematic representation of IGFBP3 promoter with the potential binding sites for HoxD10 (HBS1-5) and four fragments (A1-A4) spanning five HBSs at the IGFBP3 promoter region were designed for PCR analysis in ChIP assays (A1-A4). (B) HoxD10 overexpressed BGC823 and SGC7901 cells were cross-linked by formaldehyde and lysed. Cell lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation with either a rabbit antibody to HoxD10 or normal rabbit IgG. Genomic DNA and 2% input DNA were used as positive control.
