Figure Lengend Snippet: Splicing factors are transcriptional targets for E2F1 and MYCN in neuroblastoma cell lines. (A) The mRNA expression level of splicing factors CPSF3 , SRSF1 and HNRNPA3 in CHP‐134 and GI‐ME‐N cell lines. Significance was calculated with an unpaired t ‐test. Results are the mean values ± SD; n = 3 independent experiments (each with three technical replicates). Immunoblot showing the protein expression levels of MYCN and E2F1 in the CHP‐134 and GI‐ME‐N cell lines. GAPDH served as a loading control for this experiment. (B, C) ChIP assays denoting the binding affinity of MYCN and the E2F1 transcription factors on the promoter region of the splicing factor genes CPSF3 , HNRNPA3 and SRSF1 in both CHP‐134 and GI‐ME‐N cell lines. Results represent mean percentage enrichment values ± SD; Significance was calculated with one‐way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparison test; ( n = 3 independent experiments, each with three technical replicates). PARP2 and CDC6 served as a positive control for the binding of MYCN and E2F1 respectively. (D) The mRNA expression levels of splicing factors CPSF3 , HNRNPA3 and SRSF3 in a MYCN SHEP‐21N Tet‐off inducible cell line treated with (+DOX) or without (−DOX) doxycycline; Significance was calculated with an unpaired t ‐test. Results represent mean expression values ± SD; n = 3 independent experiments (each with three technical replicates). A Representative immunoblot ( n = 3 independent experiments) showing the protein expression levels of MYCN and E2F1 in SHEP‐21N (−DOX) MYCN overexpressing cells and the SHEP‐21N (+DOX) non‐MYCN‐expressing cells following treatment with doxycycline for 72 h. GAPDH served as a loading control for this experiment. (E) Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays denoting the binding affinity of the MYCN transcription factor on the promoter region of the splicing factor genes CPSF3 , HNRNPA3 and SRSF3 in both SHEP‐21N cells overexpressing MYCN (−DOX) and in cells with decreased MYCN expression (+DOX for 72 h). Results represent mean percentage enrichment values ± SD; Significance was calculated with a one‐way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparison test; n = 3 independent experiments (each with three technical replicates). PARP2 served as a positive control for the binding of MYCN. (F) Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays denoting the binding affinity of the E2F1 transcription factor on the promoter region of the splicing factor genes CPSF3 , HNRNPA3 and SRSF3 in both SHEP‐21N cells overexpressing MYCN (−DOX) and in cells with decreased MYCN expression (+DOX for 72 h). Results represent mean percentage enrichment values ± SD; Significance was calculated with a one‐way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparison test; n = 3 independent experiments (each with three technical replicates). CDC6 served as a positive control for the binding of E2F1.
