DLX6-AS1 promotes methylation of LARGE promoter by recruiting DNMT1. (A) The condition of CpG islands in LARGE promoter region predicted by the MethPrimer website; (B) the binding of DLX6-AS1 and LARGE analyzed by Blast online comparative analysis; (C) MSP assessment of methylation status in LARGE promoter region under different treatments; IVD: in vitro methylated DNA, positive control; NL, normal lymphocytes, unmethylated positive control; Blank, blank control; U, unmethylation; M, methylation; sh-NC, cells transduced with shRNA negative control; sh-DLX6-AS1, cells transduced with shRNA targeting DLX6-AS1; sh-DLX6-AS1 + DMSO, cells that received shRNA targeting DLX6-AS1 and DMSO treatment; sh-DLX6-AS1 + Aza-dC, cells that received shRNA targeting DLX6-AS1 and methyltransferase inhibitor Aza-dC. (D) the expression of LARGE in cells after Aza-dC treatment measured by RT-qPCR and western blot assay; (E) the enrichment of DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b in LARGE promoter region, and the enrichment of DNMT1 after sh-DLX6-AS1 transduction assessed by ChIP; (F) the enrichment of DLX6-AS1 pulled down by IgG and DNMT1 measured by RIP assay; (G) the binding of DLX6-AS1 to DNMT1 assessed by RNA pull-down assay. *p < 0.05. Measurement data were summarized as mean ± standard deviation. Unpaired t-test was used for data comparison between two groups, and comparisons among multiple groups were analyzed by the one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test. Cell experiment was repeated three times.
