Figure Lengend Snippet: DNMT inhibition and knockdown of MSH2, MSH6, and OGG1 synergize to increase NIS mRNA expression. A) qRT-PCR analysis of NIS mRNA levels in BCPAP cells transfected with siRNA control or/and siRNA MSH2 or/and siRNA MSH6 or/and siRNA OGG1 and 24 h later treated for an additional 48 h in the presence or the absence of 1 µM DAC. B) qRT-PCR analysis of NIS mRNA levels in BCPAP cells transfected with siRNA control or siRNA NOX4 or siRNA p22 phox and 24 h later, treated for an additional 48 h in the presence or the absence of 1 µM DAC. Values are mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. C) Western blot analysis of PAX8 and NKX2.1 protein expressions in chromatin fraction and whole-cell extract 72 h after knocking down of NOX4 or p22 phox by RNA interference in BCPAP cells. Densitometry quantification of protein levels normalized to Lamin B or Vinculin levels and presented as chromatin enrichment or fold change compared with control cells. Values are mean ± SE. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 (n = 5). D) ChIP-qPCR assays performed with BCPAP cells transfected with siRNA control and with BCPAP cells transfected with siRNA NOX4 immunoprecipitated with control IgG or anti-NKX2.1 antibody and analyzed by qPCR at TG promoter (two independent replicates).
