Fig. 7From: A pair of long intergenic non-coding RNA LINC00887 variants act antagonistically to control Carbonic Anhydrase IX transcription upon hypoxia in tongue squamous carcinoma progression887L interacts with 887S under normoxia and exhibits an inhibitory effect on 887S. A 887S was captured in the 887L-precipitated complex under normoxia, instead of hypoxia. 887S-P1 and 887S-P2: primer sets for 887S detection (n=2). WCL: Whole cell lysate. B 887S was captured in the 887L-precipitated complex under normoxia, instead of hypoxia. 887S-P1 and 887S-P2: primer sets for 887S detection (n=2). NF: Nuclear fraction. C DNMT1 ChIP assay showed the changes of DNMT1 recruitment to CA9’s CpG site in 887L knockdown cells under normoxia (n=3). D DNMT1 RIP assay showed the interaction of the DNMT1 and 887S in 887L knockdown cells under normoxia (n=3). E Representative image of RNA pull-down assay showed the association of DNMT1 and 887S in 887L knockdown cells under normoxia (n=3). IRE: a control RNA provided by Pierce RNA 3′ End Desthiobiotinylation kit. F Silencing of 887S RNA by antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) (ASO-887S) abolished the recruitment of DNMT1 to the CpG site of CA9 in 887L knockdown cells under normoxia, as determined by ChIP-qPCR assay (n=3). G Representative image of methylation status of the CpG sites on CA9 promoter in sh887L1 cells and control cells. PC: a primer set to detect the C to T conversion which is provided by the MSP kit. H A schematic illustration of the CA9 transcriptional regulation by interplay between 887S- and 887L-mediated pathways.
