p53 constrains NFATc1-dependent promotion of EMT phenotype and cancer stem cell-like properties through induction of miRNA-200c
Expression analysis of indicated miRNAs upon adenoviral re-expression of p53 in KPΔNC tumor cells, detected by real-time PCR (P < 0.05).
Protein expression of EMT marker genes after adenoviral re-expression of GFP-tagged p53 in KPΔNC tumor cells.
Protein (C) and mRNA (D) expression levels of EMT and stemness marker genes upon miRNA-34a and miRNA-200c overexpression using specific mimics in KPNC tumor cells. Representative results from at least three independent experiments are shown (means ± SD;P < 0.05).
Western blot analysis of EMT marker expression in KNC cells following depletion of miR-200c.
ChIP experiments showing NFATc1 binding along with H3K27 acetylation mark at the selected Snai1 enhancer region as well as Sox2 and RNA polymerase II binding at Snai1 promoter after miR-200c overexpression in KPNC tumor cells. Means ± SD are shown from one out of three independent experiments.
ChIP analysis in KPΔNC tumor cells after adenoviral GFP-tagged p53 overexpression. NFATc1 and H3K27ac binding are illustrated on Snai1 enhancer, and Sox2 and RNA polymerase II binding are demonstrated on Snai1 promoter. Means ± SD are shown from one out of three independent experiments.
