A-B, OVCAR-3 and MDAH-2774 cells under EGF exposure. EGF treatment yielded a selective, time-dependent up-regulation of E2F3a mRNA (white bars), whereas E2F3b (black bars) was not inducible. *, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01. Bars indicate the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. C, EGF mediated growth enhancement of OVCAR-3 and MDA-2774. Asterisks indicate significant difference in cell proliferation compared to untreated controls. D, Constitutive expression levels of EGFR protein in ovarian cancer cell lines, the mesothelioma cell line CRL-5820 and in healthy HPMC and OSE. The arrow indicates EGFR immunoreactivity at 170 kDa. Shown is a representative blot of three independent experiments. Supplemental Figure 2. DNA sequences of the 5’-flanking regions of the human E2F1, E2F2 and E2F3 genes. In extension to the published sequences of the E2F1, E2F2 and E2F3 promoters (21,22,13) we included the first 2000bp upstream the open reading frame in our promoter analyses. As shown for the mouse E2F3 gene we assumed the putative E2F3b promoter region to be located in intron 1 of the E2F3 gene (13). Boxes indicate putative c-myc, IRF-1, IRF-2 and E2F binding sites. Promoter regions of all investigated E2F transcription factors contain IRF-1 recognition sites, whereas IRF-2 is selectively located in the 5’-UTR of the E2F3a gene. Supplemental Figure 3. A, Changes in E2F3b expression levels under IFNγ exposure. HOC-7, HTB-77 and A2780 were incubated with 10 ng/ml IFNγ over various time periods, and quantitative expression of E2F3b mRNA was determined with RT-PCR and normalized to TBP expression. Bars indicate E2F3b mRNA levels referred to expression levels of untreated controls (Co). *, p<0.05. B, Coincubation of ovarian cancer cells with EGF and IFNγ did not yield any change in E2F3b transcript levels. *, p<0.05. C, Basal expression levels of E2F3a and E2F3b mRNA levels in various ovarian cancer cell lines, the mesothelioma cell line CRL5820, HPMC and OSE normalized to TBP expression. Note the low E2F3 isoform transcript levels in SKOV-6 indicated by an arrow. 4.
