    Down‐regulation of <t>BRCA1</t> in EBV‐associated NPCs. (A) The expression of BRCA1, ATM and PARP1 proteins in immortalized normal NP (NP69), four NPC cell lines and four NPC patient‐derived xenografts (PDXs) were analysed by immunoblotting. Actin was probed as the loading control. (B) The expression levels of BRCA1 mRNA in the cell lines were measured using RT‐qPCR. The relative BRCA1 mRNA expression was calculated using 2(∆∆−Ct) method, and the expression in NP69 was set as 1 for comparison. The data shown is the mean + SD. (C) The whiskers 10‐90 percentiles plot shows the relative BRCA1 mRNA expression in primary samples. The BRCA1 mRNA was significantly up‐regulated in NPCs (n = 55) when compared with the NPs (n = 22). (D) Immunohistochemistry staining of BRCA1 protein in primary samples (number of NPs = 30 and NPCs = 41). The representative images of negative and positive BRCA1 stain in NP and NPC specimens are shown (original magnification X400). (E) The dot plot shows the total expression levels of miR‐BART2‐3p, BART12, BART17‐5p and BART19‐3p in 20 NPC biopsies, in which the BRCA1 protein expression status was analysed in IHC. The expression of miR‐BARTs was normalized to EBNA1. The median values of each group are shown by the dash line and the Mann‐Whitney test was used for the statistical analysis

    <t>BRCA1</t> increases doxorubicin sensitivity in prostate cancer. A, BRCA1 expression was determined by WB in human prostate cancer cell lines. B, PC3 <t>(pcDNA3,</t> pcDNA3 BRCA1, shRNA scramble, and shRNA BRCA1) and LNCaP (shRNA scramble and shRNA BRCA1) stable cell lines were generated and BRCA1 expression was determined by WB. C, cells were exposed to doxorubicin or etoposide and viability was determined by MTS. Each sample was assayed in triplicate in 2 biological independent experiments. D, cells were stained with Annexin V–FITC and PI and analyzed by FACS after doxorubicin treatment (2 μmol/L, 24 hours). The average from 3 biological independent experiments (bottom) or 1 representative experiment (top) is shown. E, cells were treated with doxorubicin, fixed, and stained with PI. DNA content was determined by FACS. Histogram shows the percentage of cells in G1, S, and G2/M phases. The figure depicts the result of 3 biological independent experiments. F, cells were exposed to doxorubicin and WB analysis was carried out by using anti-p21Waf1/Cip1, -lamin A/C, or -cyclin D1, E, A, and B1 antibodies. In the Western blots, the numbers under the bands indicate BRCA1 quantitation normalized to actin B and PC3 cells (A) or control (B, F).*, P < 0.05.

    The BRCA1 is the potential target of miR‐BARTs. (A) The relative luciferase activity of the reporter plasmids harbouring a full length of BRCA1‐3’UTR (sFL‐3’UTR) or a full length of BRCA1‐3’UTR in reversed orientation (asFL‐3’UTR) was co‐transfected together with the indicated miRNAs. The luciferase signal with the co‐transfection of negative miRNA mimic control (miR‐NEG) was set at 1 for comparison. (B) The direct interaction between the putative binding sites on BRCA1 and miR‐BARTs were demonstrated in the reporter assays. The firefly luciferase reporter activity was normalized to the Renilla luciferase control. The data shown is the mean + SD from three independent experiments. The result with the co‐transfection of miR‐NEG and pMIR‐CTL was set at 1. pMIR‐CTL = pMIR‐REPORTTM vectors containing unrelated sequences; pMIR‐B = pMIR‐REPORTTM vector harbouring the predicted miR‐BART binding site, pMIR‐CDS = predicted binding site on CDS (Table ). B2‐3p = BART2‐3p; B12 = BART12; B17‐5p = BART17‐5p; B19‐3p = BART19‐3p. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001

    Regulation of BRCA1 expression by miR‐BARTs (A) Western blot of BRCA1 in NPC cell lines. Actin was probed as the protein‐loading control, and the expression level was compared with NP69 (set as 1). (B) The total expression of viral BART2‐3p, BART12, BART17‐5p and BART19‐3p (upper panel) and the expression of cellular miR‐146a (lower panel) in the cell lines were assayed by RT‐qPCR. The expression values of total miR‐BARTs and miR‐146a were calculated using the 2(‐∆Ct) and 2(∆∆‐Ct) methods, respectively. The analysis of each sample was performed in triplicate with mean + SD shown. (C) In the EBV‐negative epithelial cells, the BRCA1 level was suppressed by the transfection of the indicated miRNA mimics, BART2‐3p (B2‐3p), BART12 (BT12), BART17‐5p (BT17‐5p) and BART19‐3p (BT19‐3p). (D) The BRCA1 protein expression in C666‐1 cells was regained by suppressing the endogenous miR‐BARTs activities with specific miR‐BART inhibitors for 48 h. The negative control mimic/inhibitor (Inh‐Ctl) transfection was used for comparison. Either actin or vinculin was probed as the loading control

    The CDDP and DOX sensitivity in HK1 and NP69 cells. (A) Western blot of p53 and p21 in NPC cell lines were analysed. (B) Transfection of either BRCA1‐specific siRNA, BART17‐5p or BART19‐3p mimics increased CDDP‐ and DOX‐mediated S phase or G2/M phase cell‐cycle arrest in the HK1 and NP69 cells. The transfected cells were incubated with either the control buffer or the indicated chemotherapeutic agent for 24 h. Subsequently, the cells were fixed for DNA content analysis with BD FACSCalibur flow cytometry system. (C) Protein lysate from the treated cells were harvested for phosphor‐CHK1 (p‐CHK1) expression analysis. (D) The suppression of BRCA1 sensitized HK1 cells to CDDP and DOX treatment. HK1 cells were transfected with BRCA1‐specific siRNAs (si‐BRCA1) or siRNA control (si‐NEG) and the protein lysates were collected for BRCA1 expression analysis 24 h after transfection (left panel). The transfected HK1 cells were incubated with different concentrations of CDDP or DOX for 48 h before CCK‐8 analysis. The IC50 value was determined by fitting a sigmoidal dose‐response curve to the data using GraphPad Prism 5 program. Sum‐of‐squares F‐test was used as the comparison method (right panel). (E) Clonogenic survival assays. Approximately 500 or 1000 transfected cells were seeded into the 6‐well plate and treated with CDDP or DOX for 24 h. The cells were cultured for 14‐18 d in normal medium before staining, and colonies containing more than 30 cells were counted. The number of colonies generated from the mock treatment was compared (set as 100%). All the experiments were performed in triplicate and the Student's t ‐test was conducted, compared with the control transfected cells. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01

    The EBV‐miRNAs impair cisplatin‐ and doxorubicin‐induced DNA damage response in nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. The representative images of the RAD51 foci staining in HK1 cells (upper left panel) and NP69 cells (upper right panel) are shown. The cells transfected with either siRNA control (si‐NEG), BRCA1‐specific siRNA (si‐BRCA1) or miR‐BARTs mimics were treated with cisplatin (CDDP) and doxorubicin (DOX), followed by immunostaining with the RAD51 antibody. At least 100 nuclei were randomly selected for counting, and the cells containing more than five apparent RAD51 foci in the nucleus were considered positive.

    (A) Detection by PCR (21 cycles) of allelic mixtures induced by CRISPR-mediated base editing events occurring at a CC sequence (green) in the EMX1 gene. The sequences of the EMX1 alleles resulting from four possible C→T base transitions (CC, CT, TC, and TT) induced by CRISPR-mediated base editing and the adaptors to capture them (GG, AG, GA, and AA) are shown. In these experiments, HEK293T cells constitutively expressing the cytidine base editor (CBE) FNLS-BE3 were transfected with an sgRNA targeting the EMX1 locus. (B) Schematics of the experiments conducted to detect multiple simultaneously induced variants using DTECT. HEK293T cells constitutively expressing the base editor FNLS-BE3 were transfected with two sgRNAs to introduce simultaneously the BRCA1 E638K and the BRCA2 E2772K mutations by CRISPR-mediated base editing. (C) Detection of multiple precision genome editing events introduced by CRISPR-mediated base editing in HEK293T cell populations, as illustrated in (B). WT and edited BRCA1 and BRCA2 alleles captured using adaptors specific for the WT (TG and AG, green) or edited (TA and AA, purple) alleles were subjected to analytical PCR (left, 21 cycles) or qPCR (right).
