a Soluble chromatin from wild-type (WT) LNCaP and LNCaP-AI cells was precipitated with anti-AR or a control IgG. The DNA samples were amplified by qPCR with primers for the BRN2 promoter. The results (mean±SD of three determinations) are expressed as the relative-fold enrichment compared to that obtained with the IgG control (assigned a value of 1). b Schema of the BRN2 promoter region with positioning of the putative MYC binding motifs. c Soluble chromatin from LNCaP-AI cells was precipitated with anti-MUC1-C, anti-MYC or a control IgG (left). Soluble chromatin from LNCaP-AI cells was precipitated with anti-MUC1-C (ChIP) and then reprecipitated with anti-MYC or a control IgG (re-ChIP) (right). d LNCaP-AI/tet-MUC1shRNA cells were treated with vehicle or 500 ng/ml DOX for 7 days. Soluble chromatin was precipitated with anti-MYC or a control IgG. The DNA samples were amplified by qPCR with primers for the BRN2 promoter. The results (mean ± SD of three determinations) are expressed as the relative-fold enrichment compared to that obtained with the IgG control (assigned a value of 1). e LNCaP-AI cells were transfected with pGL3-Basic Luc, pBRN2-Luc (WT), pBRN2-Luc MUT1 or pBRN2-Luc MUT2 for 48 h and then analyzed for luciferase activity. The results (mean±SD of three determinations) are expressed as relative luciferase activity as compared to that obtained for cells transfected with the pBRN2-Luc (WT) vector (assigned a value of 1). f LNCaP-AI/tet-CshRNA (left panel), LNCaP-AI/tet-MUC1shRNA (middle panel) and LNCaP-AI/tet-MYCshRNA (right panel) cells treated with vehicle or 500 ng/ml DOX for 5 days were transfected with pGL3-Basic Luc or pBRN2-Luc vectors for 48 h and then analyzed for luciferase activity. The results (mean±SD of three determinations) are expressed as relative luciferase activity as compared to that obtained for untreated cells (assigned a value of 1). g LNCaP-AI cells expressing a tet-CshRNA or tet-MYCshRNA were treated with vehicle or 500 ng/ml DOX for 5 days. Lysates were immunoblotted with antibodies against the indicated proteins. *p < 0.05 (Student’s t-test). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
