A. Western blot showing knockdown of BPTF and MITF in Hermes-3A cells. B. Numbers of Hermes-3A cells measured using a MTT cell proliferation kit following shBPTF knockdown. C. Phase contrast microscopy of Hermes-3A cells following shBPTF and shMITF knockdown. Magnification X20. Inlays show enlargements. D. Staining and quantification of Hermes-3A cells following shBPTF and shMITF knockdown for senescence-associated β-galactosidase. E. Venn diagrams illustrate the overlap between up and down-regulated genes following shBPTF and shMITF knockdown. RF shows the representation factor and p value for the overlaps between the up and down-regulated genes sets. Several examples of commonly regulated up and down-regulated genes are indicated based on the results of RNA-seq. F. Ontology of genes up and down-regulated by shBPTF and shMITF knockdown and of commonly regulated genes in Hermes 3A cells.
