Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. STAG2 knockout profoundly alters the transcriptomic landscape (A) Representative western blotting in cellular extracts from isogenic STAG2 knockout (KO) (generated with two independent sgRNAs: SA2m#1 and SA2m#2), STAG1 KO (sgRNA: SA1m#1), STAG2 rescued (sgRNA: SA2r) and STAG2 knockdown (KD) at 48 h (generated with two independent siRNAs: siSA2#6 and siSA2#8) Ewing sarcoma cells. Color code for sgRNA isogenic models is indicated for each model and kept identical throughout the article. (B) Scaled Venn diagram for modulated genes between STAG2 WT and KO conditions (n = 3); total modulated genes for each condition represent the sum of intra- circle numbers; universe includes expressed genes (n = 13,780). p value for intersection was calculated with the SuperExact test. (C) Boxplots of log2 fold change for up-, un-, and downregulated genes in STAG2 KO and STAG2 rescued cells as compared with A673 or TC71 parental cells (n = 3 for each model); number of genes is indicated for each category. p values: two-tailed paired Wilcoxon test. Boxes represent the central 50% of data points (interquartile range). Upper and lower whiskers represent the largest and smallest observed values within 1.5 times the interquartile range from the ends of the box. (D) Heatmap for the core set of commonly upregulated (left panel) and downregulated (right panel) genes identified in (B and C) for STAG2 KO and KD Ewing cell lines. Time after siRNA transfection is indicated at the top, sgRNA and siRNA identifiers at the bottom. See also Figures S1 and S2, Table S1.
Article Snippet: The Ewing sarcoma A673 cell line was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and the Ewing sarcoma TC71 cell line was obtained from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ).
