CPSF1 regulates AR-V expression. A. Western blot with lysates from 22Rv1-undup3
transfected with four independent and pooled siRNAs. Blots were probed with
antibodies to CPSF1 or ERK-2 (loading control). B. Western blot with lysates
from 22Rv1-undup3 cells transfected with CPSFS1 siRNA as in panel A, probed with
antibodies to AR, ERK-2 (loading control), or AR-V7. C. Growth of 22Rv1-undup3
cells transfected as with CPSF1 siRNA was assessed under androgen replete
(charcoal stripped serum+1 nM DHT) or androgen deplete
(charcoal-stripped serum+ethanol, vehicle control) conditions by crystal
violet staining. Data points represent means (n = 6, error bars
= 95% confidence intervals).

regulated by CPSF1-dependent selection of a single PAS in AR intron 3.
