Article Title: Transcriptional readthrough precedes alternative splicing programs triggered in CML cells by imatinib
doi: 10.1126/sciadv.aea2475
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Examples of reads aligned to RBM14 and RBM4 from long- and short-read sequencing of IM-treated cells. Chimeric reads marked in blue. ( B ) Sashimi plot for RBM14 and RBM4 (chromosome 11: 66616624 to 66644972) based on a single representative CTRL replicate. Only splicing events detected more than five times are shown. Black represents read coverage density in RPKM, gray lines represent splicing events within gene bodies, and the red line represents chimeric splicing. ( C ) Scheme of primer design for real-time PCR semiquantification (qPCR) of chimera expression. ( D ) Expression of selected chimeras [red primers in (C)] in CD34 + -enriched cells from three healthy donors (HD) and two patients with CML (CML), normalized to spike-in controls and presented relative to the expression level of the last exon in the upstream gene [beige primers in (C)]. ( E ) Comparison of readthrough chimeras identified by SOAPfuse analysis of mRNA-seq for CTRL or IM-treated K562 cells. ( F ) Changes in chimera transcript expression normalized to spike-in control referenced to the last exon in the upstream gene and expressed as fold change upon IM treatment. Level in CTRL as 1.0, marked with the dashed line. Significance based on two-way ANOVA test (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.005; *** P < 0.001).
