Figure Lengend Snippet: Phenotypical, proliferative and transcriptional changes in Ba/F3 cells upon 72 h of induced Sox11 expression. (A) Western Blot of SOX11 protein expression in Sox11-ON (doxycycline supplemented medium) and Sox11-OFF (control medium) cells at 72 h, detected with the rabbit polyclonal anti-SOX11 antibody HPA000536, Sigma-Aldrich. B) Bright field microscopy images of cell aggregates following 72 h of continuous Sox11 expression (10x), imaged by Nikon Ti-E microscope. C) Sox11-ON cells incorporates less 3H-Thymidine at 72 h of Sox11 induction following a 4 h pulse, as compared to Sox11-OFF cells, measured in counts per minute, error bars represent the standard deviation (P=0.0086, n=3). D) Mean relative absorption measured by XTT (n=3). Metabolic activity is significantly reduced (P=0.0124) in Sox11-ON cells as compared to Sox11-OFF cells. E) Volcano plot representation of transcript level differences by Affymetrix MTA-1 mouse arrays (Microarray data has been made available through the GEO database with accession number GSE108419). Names are shown for the genes with the largest transcript level fold change (log2FC ≥1.3 or ≤−1.3). Blue and red: genes with significantly altered transcript levels in Sox11-ON cells and a fold change below -2 (blue) (FDR q-value ≤0.05 and log2FC ≥−1) or above 2 (red) (FDR q-value ≤0.05 and log2FC ≥1); gray: genes significantly changed at the transcript level (FDR q-value ≤0.05); black: genes with non-significant transcript level changes. F) Expression levels after Sox11 induction in genes specifically expressed at different stages of B-cell development. Only the pro-B restricted genes Id1 and Tal1 had significantly altered transcript levels in Sox11-ON cells (FDR q-value: 0.006 and 0.016, respectively). None of the other investigated pro-B and pre-B cell associated genes were altered at the transcript level. Genes associated with later B-cell developmental stages are shown for comparison. Transcript levels are presented as a gene-wise standardized expression (Z-score). FC: fold change.
