MIRAT modulates MAPK signaling through IQGAP1 binding. (a) Ectopic expression of two MIRAT isoforms in D04 parental cells 48 hours post-transfection was determined by PCR (top) and RT-qPCR analysis (bottom) normalized to GAPDH housekeeping gene. (b) Immunoblot showing that MIRAT isoform 2 overexpression results in higher p-ERK levels in D04 cells after MEK inhibition with trametinib compared to respective controls. (c) Bar graph representing MIRAT relative expression in RNA-protein extract of IQGAP1 pull down. MIRAT was found enriched in the extract of DO4-RM and not in the negative control (IgG mouse). (d) Immunoblot showing that silencing of MIRAT and IQGAP1 by esiRNA results in lower p-ERK levels in MM415RM and D04RM trametinib-resistant cells.
