IGF2-AS directly bins to DNMT1 and enhances the occupation of DNMT1 on IGF2 promoter. (a) qRT-PCR analysis of the location of IGF2-AS1 in MCF-7 and T47D cells. U6 and GAPDH were used as nucleus and cytoplasmic reference fractions, respectively. (b) qRT-PCR analysis of IGF2 expression in MCF-7 and T47D cells after DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b overexpression. (c) The interaction possibility between IGF2-AS and DNMT1 predicted by RPISeq online tool. (d, e) RNA pull-down and RIP assays confirming the interaction between IGF2-AS and DNMT1 using biotinylated IGF2-AS probe and DNMT1 antibody, respectively. (f) ChIP assay analyzing the occupation of DNMT1 on IGF2 promoter in MCF-7 and T47D cells after IGF2-AS overexpression. (g) qRT-PCR analysis of IGF2 expression in IGF2-AS-overexpressing cells after DNMT1 knockdown. **P < 0.01.
