Figure Lengend Snippet: A CSTF3 knockdown induced an APA shift of target genes in A2780 cells, left: scatterplot of the 3’UTR alteration in CSTF3 knockdown cells when compared with the control cells, right: the usage of proximal and distal PAS in CSTF3 knockdown cells. B Detection of APA events in CSTF3 knockdown OVCAR3 cells, combining 3’UTR alteration and usage of PAS. C Filtering out the directly bound target genes of CSTF3 by eCLIP-seq. D The consensus sequences of CSTF3 binding sites detected by HOMER motif analysis with eCLIP-seq data. E Distribution of CSTF3-targeted transcript types (left) and CSTF3 binding sites within different regions (right) as identified through eCLIP-seq. F The Venn diagram screened the candidate target genes using CSTF3 eCLIP-seq, A2780 and OVCAR3 PAS-seq data. G IGV genome browser showing the PAS usage of the NEAT1 3′UTR by eCLIP-seq. H Schematic diagram for primer design of short and long NEAT1 transcripts to validate the NEAT1 APA regulation by CSTF3. I Histogram showing the relative expression of the NEAT1 isoform with the distal PAS (dPAS) relative to that with the proximal PAS (pPAS) when CSTF3 was downregulated in A2780, A2780-DDP, OVCAR3 and OVCAR3-DDP cells compared with the negative control. J CLIP-qPCR detected the interaction between CSTF3 and NEAT1. K RT-qPCR was used to detect the relative expression of NEAT1 in A2780-DDP, OVCAR3-DDP and corresponding parental cells. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
