Regulation of L1CAM expression by epigenetic mechanisms. (a) RT-PCR analysis of cells treated for 5 days with the indicated concentration of 5-AzaC, TSA or both compounds. DMSO was used as a mock control. Cells were lysed and mRNA was isolated and transcribed into cDNA. β-actin served as internal standard. (b) Cells were treated as described above and cell lysates were prepared for Western blot analysis. MAb L1-11A was used as a primary antibody followed by peroxidase conjugated Goat anti mouse IgG and ECL detection. (c) TSA and VA up-regulate L1CAM expression. Cells were treated and analyzed as described in (b)
