Fig. 2. p63 and Dlx3 expression in primary mouse keratinocytes
cultured in vitro. Dlx3 (A) and TAp63 (B)
mRNAs were induced, and
Np63 (C) mRNA was downregulated
after 12- and 24-hours of high-[Ca+2] treatment. (D-F) p63
binds to the Dlx3 promoter region in vitro and in vivo. (D) EMSA assay
performed with a DNA fragment that included the Dlx3 p63-binding site 1 and 2
using nuclear extract from primary keratinocytes (NE), and in the presence of
100 M excess of specific (SC) and nonspecific (NC) competitors. (E-F) ChIP
analysis on mouse keratinocytes with either control IgG or p63 antibody (p63
Ab) on the region of the Dlx3 promoter containing the p63-binding
sites by regular (E) and real-time (F) PCR. (G) ChIP analysis on
TAp63
-transfected H1299 cells with no antibody (no Ab) or p63 antibody
on DLX3 and JAG2 promoters. ACHR was used as a control.
