Fig. 3. RING1B regulates the expression of EWSR1-FLI1–activated and EWSR1-FLI1–repressed targets.

Fig. 3

(A) RING1B ChIP-qPCR of EWSR1-FLI1 bound active promoters, repressed promoters, and active enhancers. Control regions indicate the absence of RING1B and EWSR1-FLI1 binding at these sites. The values of the Y axis represent the enrichment ratio of immunoprecipitated samples relative to input. (B) UCSC genome browser ChIP-seq signal tracks for EWSR1-FLI1, RING1B, CBX7, BMI1, H2Aub, and H3K27me3 at TAL1 promoter and VRK1 enhancer. (C) Histogram depicting percentages of activated and repressed genes in A673 and SK-ES1 cells with stable RING1B knockdown seq#2 (shRING1B#2) versus control seq#2 (shCTRL#2), with P < 0.05 and an absolute fold change (FC) > 1.25 or 1.5. (D) Western blot showing RING1B, RING1A, H2Aub, and H3K27me3 in A673 and SK-ES1 cells with either shCTRL#2 or shRING1B#2. Lamin B and histone H4 are used as loading controls. (E) Venn diagram showing intersection between differentially activated or repressed genes for EWSR1-FLI1 and RING1B in A673 cells; P < 0.05. (F) RT-qPCR determination of mRNA expression of EWSR1-FLI1 target genes with active enhancers in shCTRL and shRING1B A673 cells (#1 and #2). Values are normalized to GAPDH. (G) Same analysis as in (F) for SK-ES1 cells. Error bars in (A), (F), and (G) indicate SD of four independent biological experiments and ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, and *P < 0.05.
