Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of MAGE-A11-dependent AR transcriptional activity by p107. A, pCMV5 (p5) or pCMV-AR (25 ng) was expressed in CV1 cells with 0.25 μg of PSA-Enh-Luc and 25 ng of empty vector (−), CMV-p107, or pcDNA3-p130 with or without 50 ng of pSG5-MAGE (M) and 50 ng pSG5-HA-p300 (P). Cells were plated in medium containing 5% charcoal-stripped serum and incubated for 24 h the day after transfection with or without 1 nm DHT. B, LAPC-4 (LA, lane 1) and HeLa (HL, lane 2) cell extracts (80 μg of protein/lane) from cells cultured in serum-free medium for 24 h before harvest were prepared in immunoblot lysis buffer. Lane 3 contains 0.1 μg of protein extract from COS1 cells (C) expressing pSG5-MAGE. The immunoblot was probed using 10 μg/ml MAGE-A11 antibody. C, pCMV-AR (25 ng) was expressed in HeLa cells with 0.1 μg of PSA-Enh-Luc and 50 ng of pSG5 (−) or pSG5-MAGE with or without 50 ng of pSG5 (−) or 10, 25, or 50 ng of CMV-p107. Cells were incubated with or without 1 nm DHT. D, pCMV5 (25 ng) or 25 ng of pCMV-AR-(1–660) was expressed in HeLa cells with 0.1 μg of PSA-Enh-Luc with or without 50 ng of pSG5-MAGE and pCMV5 (−), CMV-p107 and pSG5 (−), or pSG5-MAGE and CMV-p107. E, pCMV5 or pCMV-AR-(1–660) (10 ng) was expressed in HeLa cells with 0.1 μg of PSA-Enh-Luc, 50 ng of pSG5 (−) or pSG5-MAGE, and 50 ng of p5 (−) or 10, 25, or 50 ng of CMV-p107. F, pCMV5 (5 ng) (−), 5 ng of pCMV-AR-(1–660), or 25 ng of pCMV-AR was expressed in LAPC-4 cells with 0.1 μg of PSA-Enh-Luc and 50 ng of pCMV5 (−) or 50 ng of CMV-p107. Cells were incubated with or without 1 nm DHT. In A and C–F, luciferase activity is the mean ± S.D. (error bars) and representative of three experiments.
