Satellite repeat RNAs are involved in chromocenter reorganization during muscle differentiation. (A) Schematic of the structure of the peri/centromeric region that consists of MajS and MinS repeats. The location of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) for targeting satellite RNAs is demonstrated. (B) RT-qPCR for MajS, MinS and ChRO1 RNAs in ASO-treated MTs (Day 3). n.s.: not significant. (C) DAPI-staining of nuclei from MTs treated with MajS- or MinS-specific ASOs (left). The number of chromocenters is shown at right. (D) RT-qPCR for MyHC and MCK in MajS- or MinS-depleted MTs (Day 3). (E) RNA-FISH for ChRO1 in MajS- or MinS-ASO treated MTs (Day 3). (F) Schematic of ChRO1-mediated large-scale reorganization of constitutive heterochromatin during myogenesis.
