Figure 5From: STAT3 acts through pre-existing nucleosome-depleted regions bound by FOS during an epigenetic switch linking inflammation to cancer Cooperation of STAT3 and FOS sites during transformation. (A) AP-1 factors during transformation and their transcriptional dependence on STAT3. Shown are the normalized RNA expression microarray levels at 4 and 24 h post EtOH or TAM treatment in samples transfected with siSCM (scrambled control) or siSTAT3. (B) Occupancy of FOS DNA binding site motifs, as a function of increasing motif quality score, within FAIRE-seq regions and in non-FAIRE regions. (C) All FOS and STAT3 sites from each time point that directly overlap or overlap only at FAIRE sites. (D) Transformation-dependent differential STAT3 sites directly overlapping all FOS sites from 4, 12, and 24 h post induction.Back to article page
