Fig. 3: CASZ1 is regulated by noradrenergic NB CRC components.

A Results of analysis of publicly available ChIP-seq data of the CRC components show that the CRC components bind to the CASZ1 gene locus, with a relatively stronger signal of CRC components within the 2nd intron (red box) but a lower signal of H3K27ac. Bivalent mark of H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 is observed at the CASZ1 gene promoter in SY5Y cells (black box). B Realtime PCR shows that the siRNA knockdown of MYCN and CRC compoents (left panel), and the loss of HAND2 or TBX2 results in a decrease of CASZ1 mRNA levels (right panel). C ChIP-seq results show that decreasing expression of HAND2 in IMR32 cells results in a decrease of HAND2 signal within CASZ1 gene locus, which is accompanied by an increase of H3K27ac signal within the 2nd and 3rd intron (red and pink boxes), as well as an increase of H3K4me3 signal and a decrease of H3K27me3 signal within the CASZ1 promoter.
