RNF20 is recruited to the E-cadherin promoter for epigenetic silencing of E-cadherin expression by Snail. (A, B) RNF20 was expressed in MDA-MB231 and BT549 cells, and RNF20, H3K9me2, and H3K9 acetylation at the E-cadherin promoter were analyzed by the ChIP assay. Quantitative real-time PCR was also performed to analyze ChIP samples in (A) (mean ± SD from three separate experiments). *P < 0.01 by Student’s t test.
