Article Title: BMP9-ID1 Pathway Attenuates N 6 -Methyladenosine Levels of CyclinD1 to Promote Cell Proliferation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
doi: 10.3390/ijms25020981
Figure Lengend Snippet: ID1 enhances cell cycle progression and inhibits m 6 A methylation within the 5′ UTR of CyclinD1 mRNA. ( A ) CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the cell proliferation of Huh7 and Hep3B cells. ( B ) Colony formation assay was used to evaluate the cell proliferation of Huh7 and Hep3B cells. Scale Bar = 1 cm ( C ) Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle of Huh7 and Hep3B cells. ( D ) m 6 A dot blotting was used to evaluate the global RNA m 6 A methylation of Huh7 and Hep3B cells. ( E ) Relative gene expression levels of ID1, CyclinD1, FTO and YTHDF2 in Huh7 and Hep3B cells. ( F ) Western blot analysis of ID1, CyclinD1, FTO and YTHDF2 in Huh7 and Hep3B cells. ( G ) The m 6 A methylation within the 5′-UTR of CyclinD1 mRNA in Huh7 and Hep3B cells was analyzed using MeRIP-qPCR. Cells were transfected 2 μg ID1 plasmid or vector for 48 h. The error bars denote the Standard Deviation (SD) drawn from a minimum of three separate biological replicates. The p -values were computed using Student’s t -test, represented as ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: For Western blotting, the following primary antibodies were utilized: anti-ID1 monoclonal antibody (sc-133104, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), anti-CyclinD1 monoclonal antibody (92G2, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-FTO monoclonal antibody (ab126605, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-YTHDF2 polyclonal antibody (FNab09573, FineTest, Guangzhou, China), and anti-β-actin monoclonal antibody (Zsbio, Beijing, China).
