PU.1-dependent upregulation of macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (CSF-1R) by mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) and MLL fusions. (a) Interaction of MLL with PU.1. 293T cells were co-transfected with MLL-HA and the indicated FLAG-tagged transcription factors, including FLAG-PU.1. Anti-FLAG antibody immunoprecipitates (IP:FLAG) or cell lysates (Input) were subjected to immunoblotting with anti-HA, anti-MLL-N, or anti-FLAG antibodies. (b) Interaction between MLL-AF10 and PU.1. 293T cells were co-transfected with MLL-AF10 and FLAG-tagged WT PU.1 or PU.1/FR232A. Anti-FLAG antibody immunoprecipitates (IP:FLAG) or cell lysates (Input) were subjected to immunoblotting with anti-MLL-N or anti-PU.1 antibodies. (c) Effects of MLL, and MLL fusions on PU.1-mediated Csf1r promoter-driven transcription. SaOS2 cells were co-transfected with the Csf1r–luciferase construct and the indicated effectors. Luciferase activity was analyzed 24 h after transfection. Error bars represent SD (n = 3). (d) PU.1 binding site-dependence of MLL enhancement of Csf1r promoter-driven transcription. SaOS2 cells were transfected with the WT Csf1r–luciferase construct or its mutant lacking the PU.1-binding site, together with the indicated effectors. (e) ChIP of MLL-AF10 and PU.1. Bone marrow (BM) cells from acute myeloid leukemia mice (AML) induced by Flag-MLL-AF10, were subjected to ChIP analysis using anti-Flag (MLL-AF10), anti-PU.1, and anti-MOZ antibodies. Semiquantitative real-time PCR was carried out on the co-precipitated DNAs.
