RRx-001 induced ERV-Fc2-env expression through DNA demethylation. Cells were transiently (24 h) treated with drugs and maintained for an additional 5 days in drug-free medium. a Transcript levels of ERV-Fc2-env were upregulated by 5-AZA and RRx-001 compared to DMSO as determined by qPCR. b Methylation of ERV-Fc2 LTR was decreased by 5-AZA and RRx-001 compared to DMSO as determined by methylation-specific PCR. c Methylation of ERV-Fc2 LTR was decreased by 5-AZA and RRx-001 compared to DMSO as determined by COBRA. Bisulfite-treated DNA was amplified and digested with the AciI enzyme. Unmethylated DNA (U) was not digested and remained intact as a 199 bp band. Methylated DNA (M) was digested into two bands (155 and 44 bp). Signal intensity was quantified using ImageJ software (https://imagej.net)
