(A) Western blot analysis of expression of macroH2A1.1, macroH2A1.2 proteins in the HMLE-Snail-ER or HMLE-Twist-ER cells transduced by the indicated retroviral vectors. Histone H3 was used as a loading control. (A,B) Phase contrast of HMLE-Twist-ER cells overexpressing macroH2A1.1, macroH2A1.2, mutant macroH2A1.1 (G224E and G314E) after 8-day 4-OHT treatment. Mesenchymal morphology observed in the vector control, macroH2A1.2 cells and mutant macroH2A1.1 cells, but not macroH2A1.1 cells. Scale bar = 100 μm. (B,C) Flow cytometric analysis of cell-surface markers, CD44 and CD24, in the indicated cells treated with 4-OHT for 8 days. (C,D) Quantification of HMLE-Snail-ER and HMLE-Twist-ER cells as described in (C). (n = 4 experiments for Snail-ER (p = 0.0129), 2 experiments for Twist-ER (p = 0.0478) – GFP vs. macroH2A1.1)).
