Figure 1(B) Bar graph summarizing the efficiency of single RNAi knockdowns for 28 out of the 30 TRs, and their effects in the reprogramming efficiency in comparison to control cells expressing scramble shRNA. The efficiency of each TR's knockdown (KD) does not correlate with its effect in reprogramming efficiency. The knockdown of 9 (Class III) out of the 28 TRs decreased the efficiency of the reprogramming in a statistically significant manner (unpaired two-tailed Student's t-test, p-value <0.05). Data are shown as mean ± SEM of at least two independent experiments. Class I corresponds to one TR inhibiting reprogramming, whereas Class II corresponds to 18 TRs having a weak or no effect in repogramming. Shown are the effects of 28 out of 30 TRs, because we did not succeed in knocking down Cphx and Phox2a.(C) Left: Shown is a line graph depicting normalized mRNA expression levels of the 9 TRs at the indicated time points during the reprogramming of MEFs. The data were plotted after normalization with the endogenous Gapdh using the "ΔCt method". The grey vertical dashed line depicts day 6 in which the expression levels of nearly all TRs peaks. Notice that the y-axis is broken to accommodate the large spread of expression levels. Right: Shown are western blots using antibodies specific for Irf6, Tead4, Taf1c, Rcan1 and Tfap4. Whole cell extracts were prepared from MEFs at day 6 of reprogramming and run side-by-side with extracts from control samples (day 0).
