- Flow cytometry analysis of SMAD2 was done on A549 cells. Cells were fixed with 70% ethanol for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 20 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were labeled with SMAD2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (511300, red histogram) or with rabbit isotype control (pink histogram) at 3-5 ug/million cells in 2.5% BSA. After incubation at room temperature for 2 hours, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit Secondary Antibody (A11008) at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature. The representative 10,000 cells were acquired and analyzed for each sample using an Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer. The purple histogram represents unstained control cells and the green histogram represents no-primary-antibody control.

Normal Rabbit IgG was used as a negative IP control. The purified DNA was analyzed by 7500 Fast qPCR system (Product # 4351106) with optimized PCR primer pairs for the promoter of active ID1, SMAD6 gene, used as positive control target, and the SAT2, used as negative control target. Data is presented as fold enrichment of the antibody signal versus the negative control IgG using the comparative CT method.

Left panel: binding peaks of Smad2 and its associated transcription factor FoxH1 at dome stage after injection of zebrafish Nodal Squint mRNA (red) or after treatment with the Nodal signaling inhibitor SB505124 (blue). Peaks called by the MACS algorithm are indicated (gray blocks). Middle panel: NanoString count levels after injection of recombinant mouse Nodal protein (red) or after SB505124 treatment (blue) in the absence (-cycloH) or in the presence (+cycloH) of the translation inhibitor cycloheximide. Right panel: time course induction of target genes after Nodal injection at 3.5 hpf (green) or 4.5 hpf (orange). In each case, (1) a specific Smad2 peak associated with a FoxH1 peak appears in the vicinity of the TSS upon Squint injection, (2) the Nodal-induced expression is not abolished by cycloheximide treatment, and (3) induction kinetics have similar trajectories independently of the stage of Nodal exposure, suggesting that these genes are direct targets of Nodal signaling.

Left panel: binding peaks of Smad2 and the associated transcription factor FoxH1 at dome stage after injection of Squint mRNA (red) or after treatment with the Nodal signaling inhibitor SB505124 (blue). Peaks called by the MACS algorithm are indicated (gray blocks). Middle panel: NanoString count levels after mNodal injection (red) or after SB treatment (blue) in the absence (-cycloH) or the presence (+cycloH) of the translation inhibitor cycloheximide. Right panel: time course induction of target genes after Nodal injection at 3.5 hpf (green) or 4.5 hpf (orange). Although these genes have Smad2/FoxH1 binding sites, their induction is abolished in the presence of cycloheximide, suggesting that an additional transcriptional co-regulator controls their transcription. Moreover, these genes are delayed in their onset of expression. The length of the delay depends on the stage at which Nodal is applied. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/
