Figure Lengend Snippet: Wnt/β-catenin signaling and EPHB2 were the downstream effector of HOXA3 in 3PPE. (A) GSEA analysis showed that the genes regulating Wnt signaling pathway were down-regulated after HOXA3 inhibition with a normalized enrichment score of 1.379 (FDR q value of 0.593).

(C) The expression changes of genes associated with WNT signaling pathway were assessed by qRT-PCR in cells treated with HOXA3 siRNA. (D, E) Western blot was used to evaluate the protein expressions of FZD8, GSK3β, p-GSK3β, β-Catenin, Cyclin D1 and c-Myc in cells treated with HOXA3 siRNA (D) , and the protein levels were normalized to those of housekeeping gene GAPDH (E) .

(G, H) Western blot was used to evaluate the protein expression of EPHB2 in cells treated with HOXA3 siRNA (G) , and the protein levels were normalized to those of housekeeping gene GAPDH (H) . (I) Upstream binding sites of HOXA3 in the promoter of EPHB2 were predicted. Sequence logo of HOXA3 (Upper panel). Possible binding sites of HOXA3 in the location and area of EPHB2 promoter (Bottom panel). (J) PCR was performed in ChIP assays to amplify DNA samples precipitated with HOXA3 antibodies using specific primers to evaluate the recruitment of HOXA3 on EPHB2 promoter. Normal rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) or no antibody was used as negative controls. (K) Quantitative ChIP-qPCR assay was performed with the 3PPE cells using IgG and HOXA3 antibody followed by amplification of DNA fragments of EPHB2 promoter. Data was normalized to input fraction and the results were calibrated to that of IgG which was set 1.
