Figure 6. KDM2A represses transcriptional activity of MMPs and VEGF receptors by inhibiting E2F1-mediated transcription.

Figure 6

(A) ChIP assay demonstrates occupancy of KDM2A on MMP9, -14, -15, KDR and FLT-1 similar to E2F1. (B, C, D, E) Transient transfection experiments in MCF-7 cells showed that E2F1 induces MMP2 (B), MMP-9 (C), MMP-14 (D) and MMP-15 (E) promoters, and this was repressed by co-transfection of KDM2A or Rb large pocket. (F, G) Transient transfection experiments in MDA-MB-231 cells demonstrate that KDM2A represses the transcriptional activity of E2F1 on KDR (F) and FLT-1 (G) promoters.
