Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative ChIP-qPCR analyses of indicated regions of Hoxa9 locus relative to the transcriptional start site (TSS) using an anti-menin antibody or IgG in KMT2A/MLLT3-immortalized myeloid progenitor cells treated with KPT-185 (500 nM) or DMSO for 6 hours. (B) Representative ChIP-qPCR analyses of indicated regions of Hoxa9 locus using an anti-XPO1 antibody in same cells as in (A). (C) Representative ChIP-qPCR analyses of indicated regions of Hoxa9 locus using an anti-menin antibody or IgG in KMT2A/MLLT3-immortalized myeloid progenitor cells treated with ziftomenib (50 nM) alone, selinexor (100 nM) alone, the combination, or DMSO for 6 hours. Percent of Input values for menin are presented after deduction of values for IgG. (D) Representative ChIP-qPCR analyses of indicated regions of Hoxa9 locus using an anti-XPO1 antibody in same cells as in (C) treated with selinexor (100 nM) or DMSO for 6 hours. Percent of Input values for XPO1 are presented after deduction of values for IgG. (E) Left panel, immunoprecipitates were prepared from nuclear extract of HEK293T cells transiently transfected with pMSCVpuro-KMT2A/MLLT3 using a menin-specific antibody or control IgG and analyzed by Western blotting analysis using indicated antibodies. Right panel, immunoprecipitates prepared from same nuclear extract using a KMT2A-N-specific antibody or IgG were analyzed by Western blotting analysis. (F) Immunoprecipitates were prepared from nuclear extract of HEK293T cells transiently transfected with pMSCVpuro-KMT2A/MLLT3 and treated with ziftomenib (50 nM) alone, selinexor (100 nM) alone, the combination, or DMSO for 6 hours using a menin-specific antibody and analyzed by Western blotting analysis using indicated antibodies. (G) Real-time RT-PCR analysis of Hoxa9 (left panel) and Meis1 (right panel) mRNA levels in KMT2A/MLLT3-immortalized myeloid progenitors transduced with indicated empty pMYs retrovirus (Vector) or pMYs virus expressing menin NES mutants (NES1, NES2, and NES1+2) in combination with a lentiviral shRNA targeting 3’UTR of endogenous Men1 (Men1-sh) or a non-targeting shRNA (NC-sh). Bottom panel, Western blotting analysis of menin expression in the co-transduced cells. (H) MV4;11 cells were treated with selinexor (or vehicle control, as indicated), followed by ChIP-qPCR using an anti-menin antibody (left panel) and anti-XPO1 antibody (right panel). qPCR was performed with primers spanning the indicated regions across the HOXA9 locus. ChIP enrichment is plotted as percent input (% input) for each amplicon; IgG served as a negative control. Bars represent the measured enrichment for each condition. (I) ChIP-qPCR using an anti-menin antibody in MV4;11 cells to map occupancy across the HOXA9 locus following treatment with vehicle control, ziftomenib, selinexor, or the combination.
