Fig. 6From: The long non-coding RNA Kcnq1ot1 controls maternal p57 expression in muscle cells by promoting H3K27me3 accumulation to an intragenic MyoD-binding regionEZH2 and H3K27me3 association to the p57 intragenic region decreases after Kcnq1ot1 depletion. C2.7 myoblasts were transfected with Kcnq1ot1 or control siRNAs as in Fig. 1a and analyzed by RT-qPCR (Additional file 5) or ChIP-qPCR. a ChIP-qPCR analysis for control IgG (upper panel) and for EZH2 binding (lower panel) to the p57 promoter (p57 p) and to the p57 intragenic region (p57i). β-Globin promoter (β-Glob p) and Albumin promoter (Alb p) were used as invariant controls, b ChIP-qPCR analysis of H3K27me3 association to the p57 promoter (p57 p), p57 intragenic region (p57i), β-Globin promoter (β-Glob p) used as an invariant control and β-Actin promoter (β-Act p) as a negative control. Values obtained are expressed as percentages of Input chromatin and normalized to those of Albumin promoter, used as an additional invariant control. Results are the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Statistical significance p value < 0.05 (*)Back to article page
