L line BCM1, the expression of both genes is opposite: no levels of MAGE-A1 [2^(Ct) 1.07] and high levelsof BORIS [2^(Ct) 24.39]. 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
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

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

Upregulate MAGE-A1 expression in this cell line. BORIS-specific shRNA reduced the BORIS mRNA expression nearly completely in presence and absence of scramble shRNA (Figure 3D, p = 0.0001). Likewise, the downregulation of MAGE-A1 expression by BORIS-specific shRNA was more prominent in MCF-7 cells than in MDA-MB-468 cells. As measured by quantitative real time PCR, BORIS-specific shRNA reduced the
