Figure Lengend Snippet: Transduction of DMD-CD56 pos cells with CBX3, H2AZ2, H3F3B, and SMC3 coding lentiviruses (A) Experimental procedure for DMD-CD56 pos cell transduction with lentiviruses. Cells were cultured in growth medium. (B) Flow cytometry quantification of the number of CD56 pos cells in each condition. Results are from 4 to 5 DMD samples. Results are means ± SEM of 3 DMD samples (each shape symbol is used for cells issued from the same initial culture). ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.001 using paired t test. (C) Experimental design of ATAC-seq analysis of DMD-CD56 pos and DMD-CD56 neg cells initially non-transduced (day0-CD56 pos ) or transduced with either empty (empty-CD56 pos/neg ) or CBX3, H2AZ2, H3F3B, and SMC3 lentiviruses together (4V-CD56 pos/neg ). (D) UpSet plot of the comparison between the samples to identify genes differentially expressed in cells transduced with the 4 epigenetic regulators and non-transduced (red arrows) versus the 3 other conditions (red rectangle). (E) Expression by RT-qPCR of the MEF2B gene in DMD-CD56 pos cells transduced with CBX3 , H2AZ2 , H3F3B , and/or SMC3 lentiviruses. (F) Screenshot of MEF2B locus. From top to bottom: chromosome scale, gene and regulatory sequences, ATAC-seq tracks in CD56 pos DMD-MuSCs initially non-transduced (red), DMD-CD56 pos (blue) and DMD-CD56 neg (brown) cells from CD56 pos DMD-MuSCs initially transduced with an empty vector, and DMD-CD56 pos cells from CD56 pos DMD-MuSCs initially transduced with the 4 epigenetic regulators (green). Results are means ± SEM of 4 samples.
