Correlation between SOX11 promoter methylation and expression. The correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression was analyzed with RT-qPCR and western blot. In RT-qPCR, CT values >35 were considered below detection limit and corresponding SOX11 levels were set to zero. (A) MethyLight (x-axis) and melt curve analysis (see filled, grey or open diamonds) showed an inverse correlation between SOX11 mRNA and promoter methylation in lymphoma cell lines. (B) Likewise, inverse correlation between SOX11 mRNA and promoter methylation was seen for solid cancer cell lines. For clarity, SOX11 positive (western blot) cell line names are shaded. (C) Western blot analysis of SOX11 and GAPDH in Burkitt’s lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma cell-lines. (D) Western blot analysis of SOX11 and GAPDH in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer and neuroblastoma cell lines.
