EBV reinforces the repression of GKN1 and GKN2 gene expression by DNA methylation. (A) AGS cells were treated with 10 μM Aza, or 1 mM NaB and 20 ng/mL TPA for 48 hours and analyzed by RT-PCR for GKN1 or GKN2 expression level, compared with untreated AGS. (B) AGS cells or AGS-EBV cells were treated or untreated with 10 μM Aza for 48 hours, then assayed for GKN1, GKN2 mRNA, or EBNA1 mRNA levels. (C) MeDIP assay of AGS or AGS-EBV cells treated or untreated with 10 μM Aza for 48 hours at different DNA regions of GKN1 and GKN2 loci. (D) MeDIP assay of AGS or AGS-EBV cells treated or untreated with 10 μM Aza for 48 hrs at cellular regions for alpha globin-2, GAPDH, CDC7, FOXP2, HDAC3, or MAP3KIP2. (E) Genome position of primers used for GKN1-GKN2 ChIP and MeDIP assays. * indicates p < .05, ** indicates p < .005. Error bars indicated sdm for n = 3.
