The bar chart shows the relative changes in mRNA expression levels of MAGE-A1 in MCF-7 cells by quantitative real-time PCR. The significant p-values are shown (C). H2O lane serves as a negative control. The housekeeping gene -Actin was selected as an internal

Activate the MAGE-A1 promoter and to which extent, we compared its influence with the stimulatory effect of 5-aza-CdR and/or TSA on MAGE-A1 transcription in cancer cell line settings. For our current investigations, we chose 3 breast cancer cell lines: MDA-MB-468, MCF-7 and BCM1 because of their different levels of MAGE-A1 and BORIS transcripts.

We transiently transfected expression plasmid encoding BORIS into both cell lines, with negligible transcript levels of MAGE-A1, and quantified endogenous MAGE-A1 mRNA by RT (reverse transcription)-PCR and gel electrophoresis. As depicted in Figure 1, BORIS was able to
Ion levels of BORIS in MDA-MB-468, MCF-7 and BCM1 cells by RT-PCR and gel electrophoresis. As expected, we found a similar expression profile of BORIS mRNA (Figure 2) to that detected by quantitative real-time PCR (Table 1). However, gel electrophoresis and quantitative real time showed no and low expression levels of BORIS in MCF-7 cells, respectively, but the tendency was similar. The additional
