Article Title: Perturbation of BRD4 and p300 activity suppresses super enhancer-driven KLF6 expression in renal carcinoma
doi: 10.3892/or.2026.9118
Figure Lengend Snippet: CRISPR-mediated deacetylation of SE_1 decreases KLF6 expression. (A) Western blot analysis confirmed stable dCas9-HDAC3 expression in 786-M1A cells transduced with single guide RNAs. (B) qPCR analysis showed reduced KLF6 expression in iSE_1-transduced cells compared with NTC cells. P-values were determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple-comparison post hoc test. (C) ChIP-qPCR showed decreased H3K27ac enrichment at SE_1 in iSE_1-transduced cells compared with NTC cells. IgG ChIP-qPCR showed minimal enrichment at SE_1 in both NTC and iSE_1 transduced cells, confirming low background signal and antibody specificity. P-values were determined using an unpaired t-test with Welch's correction. *P<0.05, **P<0.005. dCas9-HDAC3, dead Cas9-histone deacetylase 3; qPCR, quantitative PCR; KLF6, Kruppel-like factor 6; iSE, CRISPRi-targeted super enhancer; NTC, non-targeting control; ChIP, chromatin immunoprecipitation; H3K27ac, acetylation at lysine 27 of histone H3; ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: To reverse cross-links and elute bound DNA, 100 μl elution buffer was added and samples were incubated at 65°C with shaking at 1,000 rpm for 3 h. DNA was purified using the Monarch PCR & DNA Cleanup kit (New England BioLabs, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's protocol. qPCR was performed by adding the purified, de-crosslinked DNA to a reaction mix containing 2X PowerUp SYBR Green Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and 10 μM forward and reverse ChIP-qPCR iSE_1, ChIP qPCR iSE_2 and ChIP qPCR iSE_3 primers ( ).
