Fig. 6. KDM3A-mediated demethylation of H3K9me2 enhances Neurog2 recruitment at the neurod1 promoter. (A) Western blot detection of soluble histone H3, H3K9me1, H3K9me2 and H3K9me3 in control and 2 ng kdm3a mRNA-injected embryos. (B) Embryos stained with red-Gal and in situ hybridized with neurod1 (left panel, stage 18) or tubb2b (right panel, stage 15). β-gal (200 pg) together with 1 ng kdm3a was injected into one cell at the two-cell stage. (C) Western blot detection of chromatin histone H3, H3K9me1, H3K9me2 and H3K9me3 in embryos without injection or injected with 80 ng cMO or 3A MO. See Materials and Methods for isolation of chromatin histones. (D) Anti-H3K9me2 ChIPqPCR analyses showing that 80 ng KDM3A MO increased the H3K9me2 marks on the neurod1 promoter. (E) Anti-H3K9me2 ChIPqPCR analyses showing that Neurog2 was unable to reduce the H3K9me2 marks on the neurod1 promoter when KDM3A was depleted by injecting 80 ng 3A MO. (F) Anti-Myc ChIPqPCR analyses showing that ectopic Neurog2 was unable to bind the neurod1 promoter when KDM3A was depleted (cMO or 3A MO: 80 ng). ChIP-qPCR results shown in D-F were combined from two biological repeats. Three technical replicates were made in each biological repeat. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.005, ns, not significant (two-tailed Student’s t-test). (G) A summary of our current findings that posit the roles for KDM3A in regulating chromatin states and its collaboration with Neurog2 to initiate neuronal precursor differentiation. See details in the Discussion. 3681
