The DUX4 C-terminal activation domain is not necessary for inhibition of myogenesis. (A) RT-qPCR for MYOD1, MYF5, DUX4 target genes ZSCAN4, MBD3L2 in cells induced with 200 ng/mL dox for 2 and 14 hours. (B) Immunostaining for MHC (red) after 2 days of myogenic differentiation. Nuclei are visualized with DAPI (blue) staining. DUX4 deletion constructs were induced with 200 ng/mL dox. (C) RT-qPCR for myogenic genes in cells represented in (B). Data are presented as mean ± SEM; **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. Results presented as fold difference compared to control uninduced cells (n = 4). (D) Immunostaining for DUX4C (red), MHC (green) and DAPI (nuclei, blue) in LHCN-M2-iDUX4C cells after 2 days of myogenic differentiation and induction with 200 ng/mL dox. Note that DUX4C is expressed (red) in cells that were not able to terminally differentiate. Scale bar 100 µm.
