    The E1A-12 tumorigenic spacer does not mediate MHC class I downregulation. (A) Schematic representations of E1A-5, E1A-12, and E1A-12sm. The E1A proteins contain four conserved regions, CR1 to CR4. A salient feature of E1A-12 is the unique 20-amino-acid spacer region between CR2 and CR3 that is essential for tumorigenesis. E1A-12sm is the same as E1A-12 except for a single amino acid substitution (alanine to proline) at position 138 in the spacer region. (B) Northern blot analysis of MHC class I. Total RNAs isolated from cell lines DP5-2, 12-1, and 12-1sm, which were transformed by Ad5, Ad12, and spacer point mutant Ad12, respectively, were analyzed by Northern blotting using 32P-labeled MHC class I DNA as the probe. As a quantitative control, the same blot was rehybridized with a 32P-labeled RNase P probe.

    Microarray analysis of differential gene expression between tumorigenic and nontumorigenic Ad12-transformed cells. Total RNAs isolated from tumorigenic 12-1 cells and nontumorigenic 12-1sm cells were used for microarray analysis on an Affymetrix rat genome U34A microarray. The number of genes displaying a threefold or greater change in expression between the two cell lines is indicated.

    Neuronal and tumor-related genes are expressed in Ad12 tumorigenic cells. Neuronal and tumor-related genes identified by microarray analyses (upper portion) or not reported in the microarray (bottom portion) were analyzed by Northern blotting. Total RNAs isolated from different E1A-expressing cell lines were hybridized with a 32P-labeled DNA probe derived from the indicated gene. As a quantitative control, RNA levels of RNase P were compared in each cell line. DP5-2 is a cell line transformed by Ad5, and 12-1, 12-1sm, and 12-1sd are cell lines transformed by wild-type, spacer point mutant, and spacer deletion mutant Ad12, respectively. MT3-MMP, membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase.

    Stable transfection of E1A-12 into Ad5 nontumorigenic cells induces neuronal and tumor-related gene expression. (A) Northern blot analyses of representative neuronal and tumor-related genes. Ad5-transformed cells (DP5-2) were transfected with 13S E1A-12-expressing plasmids to generate a stable cell line (DP5-2/E1A-12) that coexpresses E1A-5 and E1A-12. Total RNAs prepared from normal DP5-2 cells, Ad12-transformed cells (12-1), vector-transfected cells (DP5-2/vector), and stable DP5-2/E1A-12 cells were used for Northern blot hybridization. All stably transfected cell lines were independently derived. (B) Western blot analyses of E1A-12 expression. Whole-cell extracts from the cells shown in panel A were immunoblotted using an antibody against E1A-12. As a quantitative control, the same blot was reprobed with β-actin antibody. The number assigned to each lane corresponds with that in panel A.

    Northern blot profiles of representative neuronal genes from different Ad5- and Ad12-transformed cells. Total RNAs isolated from Ad5- and Ad12-transformed cells and from normal mouse brain and kidney cells (serving as controls) were hybridized with 32P-labeled DNA probes derived from neuronal genes. As a quantitative control, RNA levels of RNase P are also shown.

    NRSF is retained in the cytoplasm of Ad5- and Ad12-transformed cells. (A) Western blot analyses of NRSF expression. Protein extracts of whole cells (WE), cytoplasm (CE), and nuclei (NE) from DP5-2 (Ad5) and 12-1 (Ad12) cells were analyzed by Western blotting using an anti-NRSF antibody. As a quantitative control, the same blots were reprobed with an antibody against β-actin. (B) Confocal immunofluorescent microscopy. Indirect immunofluorescence was performed for staining NRSF (green). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). (C) EMSA. Equal amounts (15 μg) of CE and NE from DP5-2 and 12-1 cells were analyzed using a 32P-labeled double-stranded DNA probe that contains an RE1 sequence strongly recognized by NRSF. Positions of free and NRSF-bound RE1 probe are indicated.

    Promoter activation of α-internexin in Ad12 cells requires E-box elements. (A) Schematic representations of firefly luciferase reporter driven by the rat α-internexin promoter. The α-internexin promoter (Intx, −1100 to +73) is denoted by a thin line and the luciferase gene by a black bar. The sequences and locations of two E-box elements in the promoter relative to the transcription initiation site (+1, indicated by an arrow) are given. Conserved E-box sequences are shown in bold, and mutations in the E-box elements are underlined. Names of each reporter are indicated on the left side. (B) Luciferase activity assay. DP5-2 and 12-1 cells were transfected with plasmids of firefly luciferase reporter shown in panel A together with Renilla luciferase reporter plasmids (internal control). At 24 h posttransfection, the cells were lysed and luciferase activities were measured. Data represent averages and standard deviations from three independent experiments. The control is firefly luciferase reporter lacking a promoter. (C) EMSA. EMSA was conducted by incubating nuclear extracts (10 μg) of DP5-2 and 12-1 cells with 32P-labeled E-box1 double-stranded oligonucleotide (only sense sequences shown) derived from the α-internexin promoter. For DNA binding competition assay, the nuclear extract of 12-1 cells was preincubated with 1-, 5-, and 10-fold unradiolabeled wild-type (wt) or mutant (mt) E-box1 double-stranded oligonucleotides, followed by EMSA as described above. The E-box 1 conserved sequences are shown in bold, and mutations in E-box 1 are underlined.
