UHRF1 knockdown in HBE cells results in a senescence-associated gene expression signature and global DNA hypomethylation. (a) Heat map of downregulated and upregulated genes using two independent shRNAs. (b, c) Most highly represented molecular pathways altered as a result of UHRF1 depletion based on gene ontology analysis. (d) HeLa cells were treated with 0, 0.1 or 1 μM 5-Aza for 1 week and genomic DNA was extracted. 5-methylated cytosine (5-MeC) levels were measured by DNA dot blot assay and total DNA was stained with methylene blue. (e) Genomic DNA was extracted from control and UHRF1 knockdown HBE cells, and the same procedure was used to determine the ratio of 5-MeC to total DNA as indicated for each condition.
