TGFβ induces Smad4 binding to SBEs in the promoter of mir-200/141 in PC9 cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed to identify whether a physical interaction between Smad4 and a predicted SBE locus in the shared promoter of mir-200c/-141 resulted from TGFβ treatment. Normal rabbit IgG served as the antibody negative control and α-Satellite primers as the negative PCR control. ID1 locus immunoprecipitation was the positive control for Smad4 binding. (a) In A549, positive Smad4-ID1 association is observed with TGFβ treatment, but an Smad4-SBE interaction is not. (b) In PC9, both Smad4-ID1 and Smad4-SBE interaction is observed. Significance was calculated using an unpaired t-test comparing TGFβ-treated cells and -untreated samples with the same primer set.
