a GSEA enrichment scores for sets of genes differentially regulated in rat SCs treated with siCtcf or control siRNA. n = 3 independent experiments. b GSEA enrichment scores for genes involved in lipid biosynthetic process (left) and myelin sheath (right) in SCs treated with control or siCtcf. c GSEA enrichment scores for genes modified with H3K27me3 and for genes targeted by SUZ12, EZH2, or EED in SCs treated with control or siCtcf. d GSEA enrichment scores for genes upregulated genes in Eed cKO nerves from published data37. NES, normalized enrichment score. e–g Immunoblotting for e PRC2 complex and CTCF proteins and for f, g histones with indicated modifications in SCs treated with control or siCtcf. e, f n = 2 independent experiments; g n = 3 independent experiments. h–j Co-immunoprecipitation of h, i HA-SUZ12 with Flag-CTCF from extracts of transiently transfected HEK293T cells or of j endogenous SUZ12 with CTCF from rat SCs. n = 2 independent experiments. k qRT-PCR analysis showing Suz12 and differentiation-related and myelin-related gene expression in rat SCs transfected with control siRNA or with Suz12-targeted siRNA (n = 3 independent experiments) and induced to differentiate for 9 h.
