PLAG1 and USF2 Are Required for MSI2 Promoter Activity and Expression
(A and B). Knockdown efficiencies of shUSF2 (E) and shPLAG1 (F) as measured post-infection by q-RT-PCR and western blot where sufficient cells were available (inset, A) in K562 cells (n = 3 experiments for each hairpin).
(C) MSI2 transcript level reductions following USF2 and PLAG1 knockdown (n = 3 experiments).
(D) Western blot (inset) validation of overexpression of the dominant-negative forms of PLAG1-B (PLAG1B-DN) and PLAG1-S (PLAG1S-DN), and graph of MSI2 transcript levels following introduction of PLAG1B-DN or PLAG1S-DN into K562 cells. (n = 3 experiments).
Data are presented as means ± SEM. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001. See also Table S3.
