Nhibitor TSA or after transient transfection of these cells with an expression plasmid encoding for BORIS were separated on an agarose gel. 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
Nhibitor TSA on the mRNA expression of MAGE-A1 gene and the other family members (MAGE-A2, -A3 and -A12) in different cell lines. Moreover, we assessed the methylation status of the MAGE-A promoters by sodium bisulfite mappingbefore and after stimulation with the demethylating agent 5-aza-CdR and/or TSA. While the methylation patterns clearly correlated with the basal MAGE RNA transcript levels, u
