    A) TCGA high-grade serous ovarian tumors with BRD2, BRD3 and/or <t>BRD4</t> amplification overlap with a significant subset of CCNE1 (cyclin E) amplified tumors. Copy number analysis data extracted from www.cbioportal.org. SKOV-3 cells were transiently transfected with distinct non-targeting (NT) or siRNAs targeting BRD4 (siBRD4). After 24 h transfection, the cells were treated with vehicle (0.01% DMSO) or olaparib (10μM) for an additional 24 hours. B) Western blot analysis of expression of BRD4, BRCA1, cleaved PARP and pH2AX. Actin and H2AX were used as loading controls. C) Densitometry of blots from A). Results are expressed relative to corresponding actin or histone H3 levels. Values are mean+SEM of 3 independent experiments; *p<0.01 compared to NT; ap<0.01 relative to olaparib-NT alone, Student’s t-test. D) Chromatin immunoprecipitation strategy for analysis of BRD4 binding to the BRCA1 locus. Primers were designed against a region proximal to the TSS <t>(ChIP-BRCA1)</t> and a negative control region (ChIP-Neg).

H–I) IF staining for GFP (green) in OVCAR-3 or SKOV3 cells co-transfected with the pDRGFP and I-Sce1 plasmids (both 1μg), and then treated as above for 24h. Representative images are for SKOV-3 cells. Results are expressed as the percentage of GFP-expressing cells. NHEJ repair efficiency was measured using the EJ5GFP assay. J) The percentage of GFP-expressing cells in OVCAR-3 or SKOV3 cells co-transfected with the EJ5GFP and I-Sce1 plasmids (both 1μg), and then treated as above for 24h. K) Drug effects on protein expression of the NHEJ marker, phospho(T2609)-DNA-PKcs and total DNA-PKcs, measured by western blot. For IF assays, at least 100 cells were counted (×40) for each assay and treatment. Values are mean+SEM of 3 independent experiments; *p<0.01 compared to control; ap<0.01 relative to olaparib alone, bp<0.01 relative to INCB054329 alone, Student’s t-test. Scale bars represent 20μm in D) and F), and 40μm in I).

    Article Snippet: The sonicated chromatin was immunoprecipitated with 5 μg of rabbit polyclonal ChIP-grade anti-BRD4 antibody (Millipore), 5 μg of a rabbit polyclonal acetylated histone H3 antibody (Millipore), or 5 μg of normal rabbit IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology).
