The difference image was obtained through voxel-wise subtraction of diffusion-weighted datasets (effective b -value ∼1.6 ms μm −2 ) acquired in the presence of shield-1, doxycycline, or both from a dataset acquired in their absence. The resulting image was subsequently denoised using a median filter and presented as a pseudo-colored “hotspot.” Error bars represent the standard deviation ( n = 3–6). *** denotes P < 0.001. P -values were computed based on 2-sided, unpaired t -test (2b) or using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test (2c).

    ( A ) Knockdown of HOXB7 by shRNA in the HS-5 mesenchymal cell line. The reduced expression of HOXB7 is validated in an shRNA-transfected cell line by qRT-PCR. ( B ) Knockdown of HOXB7 by shRNA in the HS-5 mesenchymal cell line. Western blot showing absence of HOXB7 in 2 shRNA-transfected cell lines results in downregulation of the downstream target α-SMA (protein encoded by the ACTA2 gene). ( C ) Gene accessibility tracks of 2 osteoblast-associated genes, ACTA2 and TAGLN , by ATAC-Seq. HS-5 cells with reduced expression of HOXB7 (HOXB7-KD3) show reduced chromatin accessibility of the ACTA2 and TAGLN genes even after incubation with TGF-β (10 ng/mL for 3 days).

P values *<0.05, **<0.02 calculated using unpaired t test. ( E ) qRT-PCR results showing the downregulation of HOXB7 and TAGLN even in the presence of TGF-β upon doxycycline (Dox) addition, and the same is restored when the Dox is withdrawn from the same cells after 3 days ( n = 3). ( F ) Osteoblast differentiation induction assay of HS-5 cells after transfection with either scramble (SCR) or HOXB7 shRNA ( HOXB7 KD3) alone or after treatment with TGF-β for 21 days. (Left panel: microscopy images after osteoblast lineage staining; original magnification is ×10; right panel: arbitrary quantification of osteoblast differentiation.) Absence of HOXB7 reduces osteoblast differentiation even in the presence of TGF-β. P values were calculated using 1-way ANOVA test.

    ( A ) Treatment of normal human mesenchymal cells (HS-5) with TGF-β (2 and 10 ng/mL) stabilizes β-catenin levels (immunoblot).

Microscopy images after staining with mAb-β-catenin (green) and DAPI (blue nucleus) (representative of 3 experiments). Original magnification, ×100. ( C ) ChIP assay of the HOXB7 promoter.

( E ) Osteoblast and adipocyte differentiation induction assay of normal mesenchymal HS-5 cells after transfection with scramble (SCR) or β-catenin shRNA (β-Cat KD). Microscopy images after respective lineage staining show that absence of β-catenin decreases osteoblast differentiation and increases adipocyte differentiation. Original magnification, ×10. ( F ) Pretreatment of HS-5 cells with WNT inhibitor (cardamonin 20 μM) followed by treatment with TGF-β reduces the expression of HOXB7 and α-SMA along with other WNT pathway genes such as c-MYC and Cyclin-D1 ( n = 3).

(c) Doxycycline-driven changes in diffusivities of CHO cells expressing Aqp1-FKBP12-DD under the control of a doxycycline-inducible minimal CMV promoter following incubation with shield-1, doxycycline, and both ligands. (d) Representative difference image showing shield-1 gated imaging of transcriptional activity. The difference image was obtained through voxel-wise subtraction of diffusion-weighted datasets (effective b -value ∼1.6 ms μm −2 ) acquired in the presence of shield-1, doxycycline, or both from a dataset acquired in their absence. The resulting image was subsequently denoised using a median filter and presented as a pseudo-colored “hotspot.” Error bars represent the standard deviation ( n = 3–6). *** denotes P < 0.001. P -values were computed based on 2-sided, unpaired t -test (2b) or using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD test (2c).

    Article Snippet: Plasmids harboring the various degron sequences – DHFR-DD (Addgene 29326), ER-DD (Addgene 37261), miniIAA7 (Addgene 129721), and FKBP12 (Addgene 17416) were amplified using Q5 High-Fidelity 2× Master Mix and cloned by Gibson assembly in a lentiviral transfer vector at the C or N -terminus of the aquaporin-1 reporter (Aqp1) under the control of either a constitutive promoter, EF1α (Addgene 60058) or a doxycycline-inducible minimal CMV promoter (Addgene 26431).
