doi: 10.3892/etm.2015.2170

Figure Lengend Snippet: Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed weak mRNA expression of NELIN in the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of the experimental group, but strong expression in the control group. (A) Expected length of the PCR products was 611 bp (NELIN) and 312 bp (β-actin). Lanes: N, control group; X, DNA marker DL 2000; and P, experimental group. (B) Downregulation of NELIN mRNA expression in the VSMCs from the varicose vein tissue. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation.

Article Title: Transforming activities of the NUP98-KMT2A fusion gene associated with myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukemia

doi: 10.3324/haematol.2019.219188

Figure Lengend Snippet: iNUP98-KMT2A expression impairs cell cycle progression of murine embryonic fibroblasts and bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. (A) Murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEF), derived from iNUP98-KMT2A and wildtype (WT) control (CTRL) littermate mice were cultured in vitro in the presence of doxycycline (DOX) (1 μg/mL). iNUP98-KMT2A expression is shown relative to the level of GAPDH expression. * P <0.05, unpaired t -test, n=3. (B) Flow cytometry-based cell cycle analysis showed increased G 1 and decreased G 2 /M fractions of in vitro -cultured iNUP98-KMT2A+ MEF compared to WT controls. * P <0.05, unpaired t -test, n=3. (C) iNUP98-KMT2A and WT MEF cultured for eight passages in the presence of DOX (1 μg/mL) were stained for senescence-associated B-galactosidase activity with X-Gal (left panel). The number of X-Gal + cells in the culture was quantified (right panel). Images and counts are representative of three biological replicates. Scale bars: 100 μm. ** P <0.01, unpaired t-test, n=3. (D) Differential mRNA expression from early (passages 1-2) and late (passages 8-10) passaged WT and iNUP98-KMT2A MEF analyzed by a RT2 PCR array. Significant ( P <0.05) changes are highlighted in red. (E) Validation of differentially expressed genes in MEF by quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis in WT and iNUP98-KMT2A hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells after exposure to DOX (1 μg/mL) in vitro for 48 h. *<0.05, unpaired t -test, n=3.

Article Snippet: Using fluorescent in situ hybridization and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Kaltenbach et al . found that inv(11)(p15q23) leads to fusion of the NUP98-FG -repeats to almost the entire KMT2A open reading frame (ORF).
