Article Title: GSK-3484862, a DNMT1 degrader, promotes DNMT3B expression in lung cancer cells
doi: 10.1093/narcan/zcaf018
Figure Lengend Snippet: GSK-3484862 (labeled as GSK862) depletes DNMT1 protein and increases DNMT3B protein. ( A ) Mass spectrometry analysis of total 5mC content in A549 cells expressed as a percentage (i.e. number of 5mC-modified residues divided by the total number of cytosine residues × 100). The DMSO controls at different time points were averaged. ( B ) GSK862 induced hypomethylation, as determined by pyrosequencing, at three genomic loci ( CDX1 , NKX2-6 , and RASSF1A ) and at multiple transposable LINE-1 elements in A549 cells, as a function of treatment time and variation of compound concentrations. ( C ) Western blots showing endogenous levels of DNMT1 and DNMT3B in A549 cells following a 2-day treatment with GSK862 concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 2.0 μM. Note that the sample amount in the first lane was half of that in the other lanes. ( D ) Western blots showing increases of DNMT3B isoforms (indicated by arrows for long and short) and no changes in DNMT3A after treatment with GSK862. ( E ) Plots of intensities of protein bands of DNMT3A and DNMT3B shown in panel (D). ( F ) Concentration-dependent effect of GSK-3685032 (labeled as GSK032) in A549 cells. ( G ) Colony formation assay of A549 cells treated at the indicated doses of GSK862 for 10 days.
