Pharicin B enhances ATRA-regulated gene expression in NB4 cells. (A) NB4FLAG-RARα cells were treated as indicated, and ChIP experiment was performed as described in the Methods. NB4NC cells were used as the negative control. (B) NB4 cells were treated by 2μM pharicin B and/or 10−8M ATRA for 48 hours, and the expression of genes, as indicated, were detected by real-time PCR with specific primers. P values between pharicin B plus ATRA and ATRA are shown. Each experiment was repeated 3 times.
