Whole cell lysis, subcellular fractionation, western blot and immunoprecipitation were performed as described [17 (link), 44 (link)]. Quantification of the band density of target proteins in western blot experiments was analyzed by free software ImageJ. The following antibodies were used in western blotting and immunoprecipitation: EZH2, phospho-GSK3β Ser9, trimethyl-H3K27, and histone H3 (Cell Signaling Technology); GSK3β (BD Biosciences); dephospho-β-catenin (Ezno Life Sciences); Tubulin and Actin (Sigma); Lamin B1 (Abcam); Myc and HA (Roche). The mouse phospho-EZH2 Thr367 antibody was produced against the synthetic peptides SRPS(pT)PTINVLESKD at China Medical University Hospital in Taiwan. The synthetic peptides were obtained from LifeTein LLC. Total RNA was extracted from cells using TRIzol. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed using SYBR Green dye on a Bio-Rad PCR machine. The primer sequences used for analysis of HOXA gene expression was listed in Supplementary Information Table S1.
