REST silencing elevated genes involved in cytostasis and migration inhibition. (A) The mRNA level of potential REST-regulated genes involved in cytostasis and migration inhibition were analyzed by real-time PCR, and GAPDH was used as an internal control; (B,C) ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) assays were performed to pull down REST-DNA complexes from U-87 cells using anti-REST antibodies, and fold enrichment of BBC3 and DAXX was determined by real-time PCR; (D) SYN1 was used as a positive control; (E,F) The protein level of BBC3 and DAXX were verified by Western blotting; (G) The interactome was generated from the identified upregulated genes with the help of STRING database, using medium confidence (0.400) parameter, in order to identify highly-possible connections. *
