Figure 6

shRNA depletion of EBNA1 causes a loss of transcription of several genes with EBNA1 binding sites. A) Western blot showing EBNA1 (top panel) and loading control Actin (lower panel) in Raji cells transfected with plasmid expressing shControl or shEBNA1. B) Raji cells transfected with shControl or shEBNA1 plasmids were selected by GFP positive FACS, and then assayed at 96 hrs post-infection for absorbance in the presence of metabolic activity indicator MTT. C) shControl (grey) or shEBNA1 (black) infected Raji cells were assayed by RT-PCR for genes CDC7, HDAC3, MAP3K7IP1, MAP3K, IL6R, or SIVA1. D) Same as in panel C, except at different cellular genes, as indicated in the legend. For genes with more than one promoter start site, additional primer pairs were used to measure each alternative transcript, as indicated by _1 or _2. All RT-PCR was normalized with GAPDH.
