HDAC11 is elevated in stem-like side population (SP) from NSCLC cell lines and regulates Sox2. (A,B) Real time PCR analysis of mRNA from SP and MP cells of A549 (A) and H1650 (B) cell lines reveal significantly higher levels of HDAC11 mRNA in sorted SP cells. ABCG2 mRNA expression is used as positive control for SP cells. (C,D) Real time PCR analysis of cells depleted of HDAC1, HDAC6 or HDAC11 using siRNA transfections in A549 (C) and H1650 (D) cells show decrease in Sox2 mRNA expression as compared to control siRNA treatment. There was no change in Oct4 and Nanog expression. HDAC1, HDAC6 and HDAC11 mRNA expression confirmed the depletion status in both cell lines. (E) Transient transfection experiments in A549 and H1650 cells with Sox2 core promoter luciferase (Sox2-luc) construct and increasing concentrations of HDAC11 shows increasing promoter luciferase activity. (F) Co-transfection experiments of Sox2-luc and HDAC11 with YAP1 and Gli1 expression vectors showed an additive effect on Sox2-luc activity in both A549 and H1650 cells.
