Aterial, or human data, or used regulated vertebrates or invertebratesResultsBORIS stimulates MAGE-A1 mRNA expression in MCF-7 and BCM1 cellsWe previously demonstrated that the demethylating agent 5-aza-CdR and the histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA synergistically upregulate MAGE-A1 expression in cell lines derived from different cancer types [6]. Moreover, Vatolin et al. reported that conditional

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

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

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. As shown in Table 1 and measured by quantitative rea

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
