Figure Legend Snippet: A) Structure of the MDM2-recruiting BRD4 degrader A1874 formed by JQ1 (a BRD4 inhibitor) and Idasanutlin (an MDM2 antagonist). B) BRD4, MDM2, p53 and p21 protein levels in isogenic TP53 WT and KO HCT116 cells treated with 1 µM A1874 for 24 h, assessed by western blot. Vinculin (VLC) was used as loading control. C) MDM2 mRNA expression levels in TP53 WT and TP53 KO HCT116 cells treated with 1 µM A1874 for 24 h assessed by qPCR. Error bars indicate mean ± s.d. (n = 3). D) Representative immunofluorescence images of MDM2 levels in TP53 WT and KO HCT116 cells upon treatment with vehicle or 1 µM A1874 for 24 h. Quantification of MDM2 nuclear intensity from 1600 cells is shown on the right. Statistical significance was determined with unpaired t-tests. **** = p < 0.0001.
Techniques Used: Western Blot, Control, Expressing, Immunofluorescence
Figure Legend Snippet: A) BRD4, MDM2, p53, and p21 protein levels in a panel of cancer cell lines treated with vehicle or 1 µM A1874 for 24 h, assessed by western blot. Vinculin was used as loading control. Left panel displays colon cancer lines, including TP53 WT (HCT116 and RKO) and mutant (DLD1 and HT29) cells. Middle panel displays ovarian cancer cell lines, including TP53 WT (A2780) and mutant (ES2, OVCAR8 and SKOV3) cells. Right panel displays BJ and RPE1 p53-proficient primary cell lines. B) MDM2 mRNA expression levels in the indicated cell lines treated with vehicle or 1 µM A1874 for 24 h, assessed by qPCR. Error bars indicate mean ± s.d. (n = 3). C) Schematic representation of the CRISPRa/dCas9-SAM system. It consists of a dead Cas9 (dCas9) fused to the transcriptional activator VP64. The gRNA targeting MDM2 promoter forms a complex with MS2 (blue) and recruits transcriptional p65 (orange) and HSF1 (red) activators. This induces MDM2 expression from the endogenous locus. D) MDM2 mRNA expression levels in SKOV3 transduced with E.V. or gRNAs targeting MDM2 promoter, assessed by qPCR. Error bars indicate mean ± s.d. (n = 3). E) BRD4, and MDM2 protein levels in empty vector (E.V.)-transduced or MDM2-overexpressing SKOV3 cell lines treated with 1 µM A1874 for 24 h, assessed by western blot. Vinculin was used as loading control. F) MDM2 mRNA expression levels in the indicated cells treated with vehicle or 1 µM A1874 for 24 h, assessed by qPCR. Error bars indicate mean ± s.d. (n = 3).
Techniques Used: Western Blot, Control, Mutagenesis, Expressing, Transduction, Plasmid Preparation
