Identification of SERPINE2 as a novel downstream gene regulated by BAP31 in HCC cells. (A) Identification of the genes regulated by BAP31 in HCC cells using RNA-Seq analysis. A heat map was constructed based on the genes differentially expressed between the control and BAP31-knockdown cells. (B) Comparative intersection analysis of differentially expressed genes in the BAP31-knockdown and control Hep3b and MHCC97h cells. (C) qRT-PCR analysis of SERPINE2 expression in the BAP31-knockdown and control HCC cells. (D) Lysates of HCC cells expressing the indicated proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-BAP31, anti-SERPINE2, or mouse IgG isotype antibody, and the immunoprecipitates were probed with the indicated antibodies. (E,F) Colocalization of BAP31 (green) with SERPINE2 (red) in wild-type (E) and BAP31-overexpression and -knockdown and control (F) HCC cells according to confocal microscopy.
