DNA methylation inhibitors can reverse SENP3-induced methylation effects
on E-Cad and cell phenotypes. (A, B) The DNA methylation inhibitors
increased the expression of E-cad protein and reversed the SENP3-induced
downregulation of E-Cad. (C) The DNA methylation inhibitors decreased
the DNA methylation of E-Cad. (D) The DNA methylation inhibitors
reversed SENP3-induced promotion of cell invasion of MG63 cells
(5-aza-DC-treated group, p = 0.0008; Azartidine-treated group, p =
0.0006; 5-aza-DC + SENP3-treated group, p = 0.0003; Azartidine +
SENP3-treated group, p = 0.0002). (E) The DNA methylation inhibitors
reversed the SENP3-induced promotion of MG63 cell migration
(5-aza-DC-treated group, p = 0.0076; Azartidine-treated group, p =
0.0113; 5-aza-DC + SENP3-treated group, p = 0.0008; Azartidine +
SENP3-treated group, p = 0.0001). (F) The DNA methylation inhibitors
reversed the SENP3-induced promotion of MG63 cell proliferation. (G) The
DNA methylation inhibitors reversed the SENP3-induced apoptosis of MG63
cells (5-aza-DC-treated group, p = 0.0002; Azartidine-treated group, p =
0.0001; 5-aza-DC + SENP3-treated group, p = 0.0010; Azartidine +
SENP3-treated group, p = 0.0003).
