PAX6 interacts with NSD1 to regulate the H3K36me3 modification level and expression of the target neural genes. (A) Enrichment of H3K36me2 on SOX1 (TSS +1300), POU3F3 (TSS +1000), MSX1 (TSS +1000) and NR2F1 (TSS +1500) genomic region in control, PAU-PAKI and PAX6KO cells on day 16 of dorsal neural differentiation. (B) Co-IP analysis showing that HA-PAX6a interacts with myc-NSD1 in 293FT extracts, but not NSD2, NSD3, SETMAR, SETD3 or SMYD2. (C) Co-IP analysis showing that PAX6 interacts with myc-NSD1 in control and PAU-PAKI cells on day 16 of dorsal neural differentiation. (D) Enrichment of myc-NSD1 on SOX1 (TSS +1300), POU3F3 (TSS +1000), MSX1 (TSS +1000) and NR2F1 (TSS +1500) genomic region in control, PAU-PAKI and PAX6KO cells on day 16 of dorsal neural differentiation. (E) Co-IP analysis showing that myc-NSD1 interacts with Flag-PAX6a, Flag-ΔPD and Flag-ΔHD mutant in 293FT extracts, but not Flag-ΔC mutant. (F, G) Immunostaining assay of TBR1 (green) after PAX6a or ΔC mutant overexpression in the PAX6KO cells on day 25 of dorsal neural differentiation (F), and quantification of TBR1+ cells (G). Scale bar, 100 μm. (H) Summary of the PAUPAR/PAX6/NSD1-mediated transcriptional regulatory model. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *P< 0.05, **P< 0.01 versus CTRL group (A, D and G); ##P< 0.01 versus PAX6KO + ptPAX6a-dox group (G) (t-test/ANOVA). See also Supplementary Figure S7.
