Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of DNMT1 regulation on TSHZ2 expression and DCIS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. (A) RT‐qPCR and Western blot analysis of TSHZ2 expression in clinical samples (N: adjacent normal tissues; T: tumor tissues). (B) RT‐qPCR and Western blot analysis of TSHZ2 expression in ZR‐75‐1 cells after DNMT1 expression modulation. (C) RT‐qPCR and Western blot analysis of TSHZ2 expression in ZR‐75‐1 cells after miR‐217 expression modulation; (D) RT‐qPCR and Western blot analysis of TSHZ2 expression in ZR‐75‐1 cells after combined modulation of miR‐217 and DNMT1 expression. (E) Prediction of CpG islands using MethPrimer and MSP analysis of TSHZ2 promoter region methylation. (F) ChIP assay assessing DNMT1 enrichment at the TSHZ2 promoter region. (G) CCK‐8 assay for cell proliferation; (H) Monoclonal formation assay for clonogenic capacity. (I, J) Transwell assay for cell migration and invasion. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation, and cell experiments were repeated three times. ChIP, chromatin immunoprecipitation; DCIS, ductal carcinoma in situ; DNMT1, DNA methyltransferase 1; MSP, methylation‐specific PCR; NC, negative control; TSHZ2, teashirt zinc finger homeobox 2. * indicates p < 0.05 comparedto the Control group, oe‐NC group, mimic‐NC group, or oe‐NC + mimic‐NC group; # indicates p < 0.05 compared to the si‐NCgroup, inhibitor‐NC group, or inhibitor‐NC + oe‐NC group; & indicates p < 0.05 compared to the miR‐217‐inhibitor + oe‐NC group or oe‐DNMT1 group; @ indicates p < 0.05 compared to the si‐DNMT1group.
