Figure Lengend Snippet: Transcription of p62/SQSTM1 is repressed by KMT5a and p53 in glioblastoma cell lines. A-B Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of p62/SQSTM1 , KMT5a , and PHF8 mRNA expression in SW1088 ( A ) or U87MG ( B ) cells, either non-treated (NT) or treated with UNC0379. C Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of p62/SQSTM1 and p53 mRNA levels in U251 cells not transfected, non-treated (NT) or treated with UNC0379, and in U251 cells transfected with a plasmid encoding wild type p53 (pcDNA p53WT), treated or not with UNC0379. D Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of p62/SQSTM1 and p53 mRNA levels in U87MG cells not transfected, non-treated (NT) or treated with UNC0379, and in U87MG cells transfected with a plasmid encoding mutant p53 (pcDNA p53mut), treated or not with UNC0379. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test or ANOVA. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.005; ***p < 0.0005; ****p < 0.00005. Dots represent biological replicates of independent experiments
