a Hierarchically clustered heatmap of differentially expressed genes in PC9/GR cells after transfection of CASC9 or control siRNAs. b Nine representative genes mRNA levels in PC9/GR cells depleted of CASC9. c Western blot analysis of DUSP1 expression in PC9/GR cells transfected with CASC9 siRNA and CASC9-ASO. d qRT-PCR analysis was performed to determine the subcellular localization of CASC9 in PC9/GR cells. e RIP assays were performed in PC9/GR cells to show CASC9 co-immunoprecipitation with EZH2, LSD1, SUZ12 and Ago2. f qRT-PCR analysis of EZH2 expression in PC9 and PC9/GR cells. g IC50 values of gefitinib in EZH2-depleted PC9/GR cells was examined by CCK8 assay. h Colony formation assays were used to evaluate the colony formation capacity of PC9/GR cells depleted of EZH2 treated with gefitinib. i FACS analysis of the effect of EZH2 down-regulation on PC9/GR cells apoptosis treated with gefitinib. j, k qRT-PCR and western blot analysis of EZH2 and DUSP1 mRNA and proteins expression in PC9/GR cells transfected with siRNA-NC or si-EZH2. l ChIP-qPCR assay showing EZH2 occupancy on the DUSP1 promoters was reduced by CASC9 knockdown. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
