ChIP assay of the mSTING proximal promoter was performed in NIH3T3 cells. The immunoprecipitated chromatin fragments were analyzed by semi-quantitative PCR using primer pairs spanning the putative GATA1 and Sp1 binding site (the target locus) or exon 6 of the mSTING (a non-target locus). (A) GATA1 bound to the mSTING promoter in vivo. A band of 199 nt containing the GATA1 binding site in the mSTING promoter region was amplified. Lane M: DNA marker 1000. Lane INPUT: PCR product derived by ChIP-GATA1 primers from direct input DNA template without immunoprecipitation. Lane IgG: PCR product derived by ChIP-GATA1 primers from DNA template immunoprecipitated by normal IgG as a negative control. Lane GATA1: PCR product derived by ChIP-GATA1 primers from DNA template immunoprecipitated by anti-GATA1 antibody. Lane STING: PCR product derived by primers flanking exon 6 of the mSTING from DNA template immunoprecipitated by anti-GATA1 antibody. (B) Sp3 bound to the mSTING promoter in vivo. A band of 107 nt containing Sp3 binding site in the mSTING promoter region was amplified. Lane M: DNA marker 1000. Lane INPUT: PCR product derived by ChIP-Sp3 primers from direct input DNA template without immunoprecipitation. Lane IgG: PCR product derived by ChIP-Sp3 primers from DNA template immunoprecipitated by normal IgG as a negative control. Lane Sp3: PCR product derived by ChIP-Sp3 primers from DNA template immunoprecipitated by anti-Sp3 antibody. Lane STING: PCR product derived by primers flanking exon 6 of them STING from DNA template immunoprecipitated by anti-Sp3 antibody.
