CSB binds to the p21Waf1 promoter. a PCR (agarose gel) and b quantitative PCR (histogram) analyses of several DNA fragments in the p21Waf1 promoter from ChIP assays with either N-term α-CSB [Bethyl] or C-term α-CSB [Abcam] antibodies. c Scheme not at scale of primer positions on the p21Waf1 promoter and summary of positive amplifications in turquoise (boxes in magenta indicate no amplification). n = 3 independent experiments; one-way ANOVA (5’p53RE: F = 7.698, DFn = 2, DFd = 6, p = 0.0220. 3’p53RE: F = 17.11, DFn = 2, DFd = 6, p = 0.0033; TATA: F = 0.8699, DFn = 2, DFd = 6, p = 0.4659) with post-hoc Tukey’s test for each tested regions vs. Mock. d Scheme of the CDKN1A (p21waf1) promoter-eGFP reporter plasmid. e Representative confocal acquisitions of cells stably expressing the CDKN1A (p21waf1) promoter-eGFP reporter upon shCSB#2 silencing or control shSCR, immunostained for GFP (green) to increase the signal of endogenous GFP, and counterstained with Hoechst (blue) after maximum intensity projection with Imaris; scale bar = 50 µM, and f quantification of the GFP mFI/cell; n = 127 cells/condition from three independent experiments, mean ± SEM; unpaired t-test (two-tailed) (t = 4.555, DF = 253), p-value vs. shSCR. g WB of GFP and GAPDH (loading control) in cells not expressing (Mock GFP) or stably expressing (Mock shRNA) the CDKN1A (p21waf1) promoter-eGFP reporter, not silenced (shSCR) or silenced for CSB (shCSB#2). Cells that express GFP display a band at 27 kDa, and also an upper band at around 60 kDa, in particular upon CSB silencing, corresponding to dimers observed in other conditions70.
